It’s an exciting time to be a Marvel fan! With the release of Captain America: Civil War (which opens tomorrow!), Marvel has officially kicked off their Phase 3. With 10 movies it’s their biggest phase yet, and we’ve got a lot to look forward to. First up is obviously Civil War itself, which is, by all accounts, totally fantastic. And thanks to …
There was a lot of hubbub last week around the first look we got at Scarlett Johannson as Major Motoko Kusunagi in the upcoming feature film adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. As Kervyn pointed out, while she looks quite good in the part, Johannson is about as Japanese as he is a French poodle. And by no means was …
The major awards shows of 2016 have come and gone, but we still have room for some silliness with the MTV Movie Awards, the winners of which were announced on Monday. Now obviously, the MTV Movie Awards aren’t anything like the BAFTAS, the Golden Globes or the grand-daddy of them all, the Academy Awards. MTV doesn’t take itself, or the …
This may come as a shock (especially to Kervyn who’s probably going to fire me now) but, despite what I claimed otherwise to land this gig, movies and TV aren’t my biggest passion (sorry Kerv). That honour really belongs to board games. So news like Warner Brothers landing a director for a Dungeons and Dragons movie obviously interests me a …
Now that the frenzy of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has died down somewhat, we can start asking the question, so what’s next for DC?

I’ve now seen Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice twice already, and I cannot recall when last multiple viewings of a movie has left me this conflicted. Oh wait, I can! It …
With the current three day work week (thank you public holidays), I thought it best to keep this week’s Midweek Movie Mouth-Off short and to the point. And, let’s be honest, after last night’s premiere and Kervyn’s spoiler free review from this morning, no one is going to be talking about anything else anyway, we’re all pretty damn hyped for this …
After Spidey’s big reveal in the latest trailer for Captain America: Civil War, of course pedants have come out of the woodwork to complain about, well, everything to do with him. His costume is too cartoony, his eye lenses are too small, his logo is too fat, the works. Some people have even said they will go so far as …
