I was fortunate enough to have attended Disney’s Annual Showcase earlier in the year and thus received a glimpse of Benedict Cumberbatch as Marvel’s Doctor Strange. But now guys get to have your own glimpse at the upcoming Phase 3 film as the film’s first batch of set pics and video from its location shoot in Nepal has just rolled …
BBC’s Sherlock has quite the rabid fan base (or in Nick’s case – Rabbid) with fans clamouring for more at every opportunity, and it’s hard to argue with them as it’s become one of the definitive pieces of media for lovers of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective. What makes it particularly difficult for showrunner Steven Moffat is that its …
I find it quite surprising that people can still even remember what Johnny Depp really looks like. The 52-year old actor has spent the last few years lacquered in so much ludicrous makeup and affecting so many physical quirks (not to mention donning crazy headgear, including a dead bird!) that a sighting of the real Johnny Depp has become about …
It’s been far too long since Sherlock Holmes has been on our TV screens. No, that impostor over on Elementary doesn’t count (even if he does a fine job). We need the real Sherlock Holmes. And by real Sherlock Holmes, I mean Benedict Cumberbatch’s cantankerous contemporary incarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed 19th century literary detective. Yes, that guy! The …
Look, I know that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are massive movie stars now, too busy inventing the modern computer and fighting dragons – not to mention Cumberbatch winning big acting awards – to make time in their schedule for some TV work, but damn it, I really miss Sherlock! Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ brilliant modern revisionist take on …

After all, such lengthy sitdowns in the make-up trailer have resulted in him bringing to life characters such as Edward Scissorhands, Jack Sparrow and a particularly mental Mad Hatter. This time however, the make-up is resulting in a crueler, grittier Depp, as he portrays legendary …
In the last few years, every time Johhny Depp appeared on screen in some weird makeup and/or funny headgear (dead crow, anyone?) it usually resulted in some unintentional punchline at the expense of the actor’s street cred and box office pull. Nobody’s laughing now. In the upcoming true-crime drama Black Mass, Depp plays notorious gangster Whitey Bulger, and despite him …
City life is a game of optimality. In the small studio apartments of Vancouver …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month.
