Kingsman: The Secret Service hit like a bolt out of the blue last year – the outrageous action-comedy that starred Colin Firth… Colin Firth… playing a (to quote Kervyn from his 4.5/5 star review) “bad ass killing machine” was one of the best and most entertaining movies of 2015. So it’s no surprise that a sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, was fast …
The first Kingsman was certainly a one of a kind spy movie that certainly did a lot of things right in telling a fresh story in a brutal, but fun way.

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.

Think Will Ferrell pumping up with small Kevin Hart reps could conquer the box office? Ha! Hell no! That honour went to to Dreamworks Home instead, which much like an RKO from WWE superstar Randy Orton, came outta nowhere. Taking first place with $54 million from North American ticket sales, Home hit the sweet ballpark as other animated films such …

Looks like there’s still some life in the old Divergent series yet. The latest flick in the personality test failures opened up with enough of a domestic North American impact to knock Cinderella down to second place, at around $54 million according to estimates. That’s almost on par with the first film, which made $54.6 million on opening weekend with …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
