2016 might be the year that no one saw an R-Rated comic book movie become so successful, but we have short memories. Last year’s Valentine’s weekend release, Kingsman: The Secret Service ticked basically all the same boxes as Deadpool did. Over-the-top hilarious, gory and oh-so-meta, the only major difference was that Kingsman was about spies instead of superheroes, and had …
Yes, we’re right in the middle of the Hollywood awards season, with the Golden Globes taking place this weekend past, and the Oscar nominations being released later today.

At least you know, once again, that you can trust Kervyn’s opinions, seeing as his predictions were (pretty much) spot on. So Birdman …
Righto, ladies and gentlemen! It’s time for all the shouts of snubbery to die down, all the screams about how “everything is not awesome” to subside. As in the early hours of this morning (local time), the 87th Annual Academy Awards aka the 2015 Oscars was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, led by host extraordinaire and …
It’s almost time for the big one! The 87th Annual Hollywood Circle Jerk Academy Awards are on this Sunday (22 February) and there are lots of strong movies up for awards this year. Check here if you need a reminder of who’s nominated. Seeing as no one really cares about the majority of the technical categories, here are my predictions …

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