Oh HBO, you really know how to tease me when it comes to Westworld – the TV show based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie of the same name about a futuristic theme park populated by androids. First you show a us few pictures, then you tease us with 30 seconds, and now you want to tease us for just that …
You ever watch Westworld? It’s a rather dated film by today’s standards, but it still had some solid ideas regarding human debauchery, free will and creating life. Also, those ideas were quickly tossed aside for some good ol’ robot havok as Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics were quickly pimp-slapped into submission. Westworld is the kind of film however, that …
HBO’s upcoming TV-series remake of the classic 1973 sci-fi western Westworld is something I’m eagerly anticipating as it combines my favourite genre – sci-fi – with my childhood favourite – westerns. During the Person of Interest panel show runner of both Person of Interest and Westworld, Jonathan Nolan, surprised everyone by releasing some teaser footage. Unfortunately unlike some of the …
As far as movies go, I’m just going to assume that Run All Night is Liam Neeson’s way of apologizing for Taken 3. And well, apology accepted. Where as that threequel was a cartoon wrapped in a farce, Run All Night is a surprisingly robustly constructed reminder that Neeson is still a potent lead when working with material seemingly not …
To quote a popular song from Adele: RUUUUUMOURS! Today’s grapevine whisperings are all about Suicide Squad, Warner Bros\DC Comics’ upcoming supervillain team-up movie that looks to have more stars in it than an issue of Scope Magazine in the 1980’s. We’ve already seen that star studded cast – which boasts Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie …
Despite its hush hush production, I’ve been keeping a close watch on HBO’s planned TV series remake/adaptation of Westworld, the classic 1973 sci-fi western written and directed by Michael Crichton. Remakes tend to get a bad name, but when you have this much talent in front of and behind the camera, I will definitely take notice. Produced by JJ Abrams, …
Oh look, Liam Neeson is Liam Neesoning again. These days, the moment you see the Oscar-winning actor holding a handgun with a slightly perturbed look on his face, you should know what to expect. Especially, as in this instance, if Neeson is teaming up with director Jaume Collet-Serra.The duo have already produced two mild hits in Unknown and Non-Stop, paint-by-numbers but …
No this isn’t our review for Taken 3 (which will be out early next week). It’s just that Liam Neeson is once again back to shooting people while wearing coats/jackets, which has rapidly become his thing. The Oscar winner has carved out a nice spot for himself with these kinds of effortless action-thrillers, and he doesn’t appear to be tiring of them any time …

A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
