Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne – one of the trinity of JB-initialed spies – is returning in the fifth, and as yet untitled, Bourne movie next year – replacing Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross from the fourth in the series, The Bourne Legacy, which he didn’t really live up to. Damon’s been hesitant to return to the character, and in a recent interview …
So far this year we’ve been treated to one of the best science fiction movies ever in the form of Ex Machina, a thought provoking movie that explores identity and the human condition.

But I guess Matthw McConaughey and Anne Hathaway are busy laughing their karmic asses off right now at this turn of events, as Damon’s newest flick, The Martian, sees him left in some distress on a distant planet this …
The Bible is back in business. And by “business”, I mean of the “show” variety as Hollywood has seen a resurgence of biblical epics lately. We’ve already seen Darren Aronofsky’s fantastical Noah and Ridley Scott’s version of Moses’ story in Exodus: Gods and Kings, not too mention Scott’s upcoming movie tale about King David. And that’s not even counting the small-budgeted, …

Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
