This week’s two biggest releases are all about nostalgia, with the new Peanuts movie vying for attention next to another trip down memory lane, Creed. You’ll be glad to know that both come very highly recommended, and we don’t have to bemoan modern movies ruining our childhood favourites. Damn, I guess we’ll have to find something else to be outraged …

While you might associate Hasbro’s name with a rather large movie franchise, namely Transformers, they’ve also been working on movies based on many of their board game franchises; including the likes of Battleship (the only one released so far, and which we reviewed here), Ouija (spooooky!) and Monopoly.

My relationship with Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga is like my relationship with cats. I know there are millions of people who love them , and I’ve even been known to chuckle at funny pictures of them on the internet, but physical contact usually results in an acute allergic reaction of breaking out in a rash, and my brain trying to leak out …

Hey look, there’s a new poster and trailer out for Andrew Niccol’s  big screen adaptation of Twilight author Stephanie Meyer’s alien invasion story The Host. And just a day before the release of Breaking Dawn -Part 2. What a total random happenstance!
