Yesterday we saw the news that the fate of NBC’s Constantine is hanging by a thread. Currently, it’s not been cancelled, but is “on hiatus” until more ratings have come in and NBC can see if it’s worth producing a second season. I’ll freely admit that I am very quick to judge with new TV shows. If the story, characters …

Monday’s international box office report saw Disney’s highly acclaimed Big Hero 6 booted off the top spot, only to be replaced by… Dumb and Dumber To. I would like to think that cinema has matured and outgrown the kind of humour that we had twenty years ago, and a sequel to Dumb and Dumber was just… unnecessary. Critics haven’t exactly …

Yesterday, the news that Jonathan Nolan will be adapting Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series for HBO broke, and my mind kind of broke a little as well. I love Asimov’s work, but the Foundation series holds a special place in my heart. It was the first proper science fiction I’d read and it opened me up to a whole new genre. …

You know, I didn’t think they’d do it. Personally, I never took the news that they were making a Grumpy Cat movie seriously when the story originally came out. It’s just too ridiculous to believe.

I am not a horror movie fan at the best of times, so theming the Midweek Movie Mouth-Off around them has been quite nerve-wracking for me! So, let’s take a break and talk about the best movies the scaredy-cats can …

There are many sub-genres that are encompassed by the “scary movie” label. There are cross-overs between them, and movies that can be both, but for the sake of simplicity let’s narrow it down to two. You have gore-fests like Hostel or Saw which are all about the blood, guts and torture. On the other hand, you have more cerebral-centred mind-f*** …

Continuing with our scary movie theme for October, let’s talk about the movies that utterly failed to scare you. Maybe they tried too hard, maybe the premise was just too ridiculous to follow, or maybe they were just a hot mess. For me, this was definitely House of Wax. Seriously, what the heck was going on with that? Besides for …
