TV adaptations of movies have a reputation for being dismal, especially when stuff like Timecop and The Transporter clutter our perceptions. But it’s actually not a bad formula – and one that has been getting better. Recent arrivals like Fargo, Bates Motel, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the admittedly short-lived Hannibal has galvanised television as a good prospect for taking your …
I know Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have as many detractors as fans. Certainly Gamer didn’t help a lot and I am arguably the only moviegoer on this planet who enjoyed the second Ghost Rider. Last Updated: July 23, 2015

That 2004 debut film, which is based on JJ Connoly’s novel of the same name, saw a pre-007 Daniel Craig as an unnamed British …
In lieu of a proper Monday Box Office Report (DAMN YOU EASTER BUNNY!), we’re taking a look at just one movie in particular this week that debuted over the Easter weekend. A film that stars a stable of heavyweight action stars, fast cars and even faster go-stripes on their bonnets. I am of course, talking about the seventh installment in …

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