But one aspect that never fails to impress are lightsabers. They’re laser swords, they’re awesome and they are a class of weapon that symbolise nobility, elegance …
While that other Snow White film gets ready to enchant families across the globe with some sickeningly sweet humour and design, the other Snow White film that is coming out this year looks set to be a more thrilling, darker version of the original fairy tale. Which means that it is far more faithful, because the original print story is …
Continuing on from yesterday’s trend of Films That I’m Looking Forward To That Are Surprisingly Not Prometheus, here’s the trailer for Brit Marling’s new science-fiction-ish cult film, The Sound of My Voice, which follows a young couple who attempt to infiltrate a cult to disprove the leader’s outlandish claims that she is from the year 2054.
