You know there was a time when the Wachowski siblings could do bi wrong, when they shared a sort of Midas touch. Of course that was due to their Matrix Trilogy. I know many don’t like the second and third movies but I actually did (though admittedly not as much as the first). However, after the abomination that is Jupiter Ascending and a …

There is a lot to be said about ambition. And in Hollywood over the last decade or so, quite often it was being said by Andy and Lana Wachowski, the writer-director siblings of The Matrix, Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas fame. Irrespective of whether their films were comprehensively successful or not, they were always still willing to push the envelope, to go for those big ideas. …

I have to say that the duo formerly known as the Wachowski brothers, now as just the Wachowskis, did a damn good job of creating one of my favourite movies, that being The Matrix. I’ll even put my neck on the line and say I enjoyed the other two, just not as much as the first though. So I am tentatively excited that Jupiter …

What with it having been Phuza Thursday last night, I know this might be difficult and/or painful, but think back a few months to June, when we were just getting ready for a one-two punch of big budget space opera goodness.

We could get out fix from Sense8, a new Netflix original series that Andy and Lana Wachowski is putting together with Babylon 5 creator and regular comic book scribe  J. …

If you’re a fan of crazy colourful, completely out-there, nuttier than squirrel poop sci-fi space operas, then 2014 is a very good year. In August we’ll have Marvel’s insanely cool – emphasis on insane – looking Guardians of the Galaxy blowing up their corner of the universe in technicolour explosions. But before we get to that, to sort of ease our cerebellums …

There’s a rumour that has surfaced this weekend that will have you running up walls in excitement if it turns out to be true. Its seems that we may be jacking back in to the Matrix in a couple years time, as a brand new trilogy is apparently being planned. In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves: Whoa!  Last Updated: …

I’m dreading writing my review for Cloud Atlas when it releases later this year. I have a feeling that irrespective of what my final opinions on the film will be, it will probably take only two paragraphs before I start running out of synonyms for “epic”. Don’t be surprised if I just start making words up. That just seems like …
