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. But while those two biggest awards shows are all about honouring achievements in movies, there’s another that exists for exactly the opposite. I’m of course talking about the Golden Raspberry Awards aka …
Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …

Just to recap, here’s what we know for sure about Gareth “Godzilla” Edwards’ planned Star Wars standalone film: It’s a Star Wars standalone film, being directed by Gareth Evans. Okay, okay, that was just a bit of joking, we know some more: Gary Whitta was writing the script, now he’s not. You could say that we’re completely in the Dark (Side of the …
When Hollywood jumps on a bandwagon, they make sure they land. Not only are we getting the musical Peter Pan Live! (starring Christoper Walken as Hook) on 14 December 2014, there’s also the modern day take on Peter Pan and the Lost Boys TV series tentatively titled League of Pan in development; but wait, there’s more! There’s the feature movie simply …
