A couple of years back…No wait, quite a few years ago, The Mummy hit our screens, and for a film that did not have too much marketing, faith or cash behind it, it actually turned out to be a pretty damn good film. Great actors, decent special FX, a return to the adventure films of old and Arnold Vosloo combined …
The full trailer for director Len Wiseman’s Total Recall reboot dropped this past Sunday, and like many I was surprised at how good it appears to be.

Fresh from not solving a murder in AMC’s The Killing, and fighting to the death with Ryan Reynolds out on some Malmesbury farm in Safe House, the Swedish actor has been busy talking to everybody about his next …
And the great Turtlegate scandal of 2012 continues! It seems like the entire internet is ablaze with either news about Ninja Turtles or some NFL guy named Tebow. And due to the fact that around these parts, American Football concerns us about as much as the migratory patterns of the red breasted nuthatch (it’s a type of bird, you perverts), …
Remember the year 1984? I don’t because I hadn’t popped into existence yet, but for a lot of people, it was the year that proved George Orwell wrong, as the world had not become an oppressive dictatorship yet. Unless you lived on the eastern side of Germany, but that’s besides the point. While I set a personal record of two …
