I love cartoons, but even I have my limits. One such cartoon that I cannot stand? The Flintstones. Lazy, uninspired and obsessed in a crazy way with anything related to granite and puns, the show has never registered high on my radar. Also, f$#! the Great Gazoo. Shark-jumping aside, The Flintstones still makes money through syndication and the random direct …

What? More Bond news? Quite so fellows, so pay attention and bring back the luxury sports vehicles and collectible laser watches in one piece this time, won’t you? We’ve already read about the director shortlist for the next James Bond film, which will follow on from the highly successful Skyfall that Sam Mendes brought to the big screen last year. …

I don’t know about you folks, but back when I was a kid, I freakin’ loved dinosaurs. Jurassic Park started an interest in me telling people that the real name for a Bronotsaurus was actually Apatosaurus, while shows like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs convinced me that the future was going to be awesome in an apocalyptic manner.

One such film was announced a couple of years back already, and would see …

Remember when Metallica announced that they would be making a 3D movie? Yeah, me neither. But it happened! And it’s been chugging along, with Nimrod “Predators” Antal directing and hitting the scripts for the project. Called Metallica: Through the Never, the film takes a few cues from that 1991 song and plays out as part documentary, part fiction and all …

Damn, I really thought that we’d be on the receiving end of an adamatium-laced trailer for the latest film starring the Canadian berserker mutant in The Wolverine, but alas, no such footage surfaced during the festive break. While X-Men Origins: Wolverine may have been an underwhelming film that had the cajun mutant Gambit running around ruining everything, director James Mangold is taking …

Pacific Rim might be onto something. The Guillermo Del Toro directed film is most likely all about the impossible odds that the human spirit can overcome in the face of a daunting challenge, but let’s face it, we just want to see some giant robots on the big screen.
