One of my favourite books is the dystopia novel 1984 by George Orwell, a book that projected the worries and concerns of the post-war era into a future where government, aided by technology, controlled the population. Come to think of it, it’s not too far removed from what is happening now with NSA hacks, drones spying on you, and Trevor constantly peeping …

After which, please feel free to vigorously disagree with our …
No, you don’t have deja vu. This is not just a glitch in the Matrix. While we already showed you the current box office leaders yesterday, and will continue to do so every week, that is only for the all-important (so they keep claiming) US domestic market. But what about closer to home? Who is ruling the local cinema roost? …
The latest true-life thriller from director Paul Greengrass – and most recent bit of evidence that Tom Hanks is an acting god – reduced Nick and I to simpering messes – and that’s after taking a few years off our lives with insane tension. I felt that Captain Phillips brought it all to the table , from deft directing, great scripting …
