I never thought I would be saying these words, but “Thank you, pirates”. That may be a strange thing to say, but let me explain. By all accounts, one of the most impressive things revealed at Comic-Con, was the first footage for Warner Bros/DC Comics’ upcoming Suicide Squad. I say by all accounts, because it was only screened in Hall …

James Cameron, father of the Terminator franchise, recently proclaimed director Alan Taylor’s Terminator Genisys as the real third film in the series, and after watching this enjoyable if flawed upgraded entry, I can see why. Cameron’s assessment may not make much sense tonally, as this film is much more of a flashy fun popcorn blockbuster than its grimly mature techno-thriller …

With there having been so much talk – mainly shouting – about what Jared Leto’s Joker looks like, or doesn’t look like, it’s easy to forget that he’s not actually the star of DC’s Suicide Squad and will probably just have an extended cameo in the movie. No, the real stars of Suicide Squad are, well, the Suicide Squad, or as …

I still can’t believe that a Suicide Squad movie is being made. Hell, just the title alone is edgier than my idea for a movie which I call Orphan-Puncher (Is it about an Orphan who punches, or an individual who punches orphans? You decide!). And with David “Fury” Ayers behind the camera, I’ve got some realistically high hopes for this …

An odd thing has been happening with Terminator Genisys. Yes, I still get brain freeze and go all cross-eyed at the horrific spelling of that title, but instead of the initial sense of trepidation and WTF-ness I originally felt for this production, the more I see and hear about the upcoming parallel-quel lately, the more excited I get to see …

There is a laughable irony in the fact that the main narrative thrust of the Divergent franchise is all about doing your own thing and not just fitting into your community’s preconceived definitions of who you’re supposed to be – hell, the giveaway is right there in the title! – and yet Insurgent, the second chapter in this increasingly tiresome …

For some reason (I suspect too much hayfever medication), the only thing I can remember about Gallipoli, the highly acclaimed 1981 World War I drama which I watched in History class at high school, is the image of a very young Mel Gibson running breakneck between the trenches as gunfire whizzed all around him. So much running. Now another Australian film starring another …

Warner Bros’ answer to the behemoth that is Marvel is the much anticipated Suicide Squad, a movie that has some serious A-list talent. Take for instance Will Smith, Margot Robbie (drool), Jared Leto, Jai Courtney and Cara Delevingne. Tom Hardy was also supposed to be on that list but due to work conflicts he no longer is, according a new report from THR. Apparently Hardy, …
