In an attempt to combat climate change and bring down global temperatures in mid-2014 mankind unwittingly destroyed all they sought to protect and caused the extinction of nearly all life on Earth. Seventeen years later the old world is a fading memory and all that remains of humanity is bound together in a strict class system on a single world-spanning …
I sometimes wonder what Shakespeare would have to say about all the different iterations of his plays that have made it to the big screen.

You may not know this, but Darryn has a Michael Bay shrine in his bedroom. Well he used to. He had to blow it up as some sign of devotion. It’s apparently a thing Bay-kin (as I have dubbed them) do. The point is that he likes Michael Bay. A lot. Me? Not so much. And yet, I am super …
The Korean invasion of Hollywood is in full swing, with Park Chan-Wook’s opening shot, Stoker, already racking up the accolades. The second salvo, Kim Ji-Woon’s The Last Stand, may have misfired a bit (and by a bit I mean a lot!) at the box office but it was still a reasonably fun film.
