Neighbors –  or as we ex-colonialists know it: Bad Neighbours (note the “u”) – was way funnier than I ever thought it would be. It also made a crap load of money. Shot on a budget of just $18 million, the Seth Rogen/Zac Efron R-rated comedy went on to make $270 million. So naturally: Sequel! Or rather, $equel! And that …

Once upon a time, Sofia Coppola was set to make a live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid for Universal. And then, after a long period of uncertainty, she wasn’t. At the time, the usual “creative differences” excuses was touted as the reason for Coppola’s departure from the project, and that nearly looked as if it could be the end of …

Would it be wrong if I admitted that I secretly longed for an alien invasion of Earth? No, this isn’t some nihilist “The whole world is rotten and deserves to burn” wish. It’s just that a lifetime of playing video games and reading sci-fi books have prepared me for this! I just know that not only am I going to …

This is not only because The Last Stand sucked hairy …

In The Equalizer, director Antoine Fuqua’s refurbished take on the classic 1980’s vigilante TV series of the same name, star Denzel Washington’s grizzled ex-government killer Robert McCall has the habit of constantly checking his watch, timing himself before he unleashes his next flurry of creative violence. He seems to be constantly trying to improve his speed, make himself more efficient in execution. It’s …

With the exception of the late Tony Scott, very few directors has gotten Denzel Washington to unleash his inner badass quite like Antoine Fuqua. And now the two are pairing up again for The Equalizer, a movie version of an 1980’s TV series the same name (which I honestly have no recollection of). But while his Oscar winning role in …

To say that I’m just not fond of Kristen Stewart’s acting, is kind of like saying that I’m just not fond of being punched in the throat.
