We’ve seen plenty of fights in movies, from high-flying kung fu, through to brutal boxing matches and high octane gun battles. But while the majority of those fights also have the habit of making the audience shout DAYUMN every time an uppercut is landed, it’s when a certain tried and tested attack to the lower areas of an anatomy makes …
With so many massive blockbusters being released in 2012, and their respective marketing campaigns bombarding your senses around every corner, it’s only natural that some movies will slip between the cracks.

But that’s just the beginning, as the superhero-palooza smash-up will be setting the scene for all future Marvel movies. Feige has been doing the …
Hollywood happens to be rather fond of adapting other super-successful foreign films into a newer, more American setting, with properties such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Vanilla Sky being two such examples. Spike Lee has been working on getting the Asian epic Old Boy up and running for quite a while now, and it looks like he may have …
Christopher Nolan is considered by some (read: me) to be the finest director of his generation. A traditionalist and perfectionist whose films have had us jumping through timelines, tumbling head over heels in dreamscapes and even made us believe in the operatic reality of a man in a bat suit fighting a sociopathic clown. But he is famously also a very …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
