When the first trailer for Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was released, I was definitely intrigued, even though the “young child with undiscovered powers is destined to save the world” plot seems like such a cliché. As it was pointed out by one of our readers though, it’s more like “Pride and Prejudice and X-Men”. Young kids hidden away …
Some spoilers from the first film. You’re warned! You heard that right, the dude WILL RESIDE in the sequel to the totally awesome Kingsman: The Secret Service!

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. Over-the-top hilarious, gory and oh-so-meta, the only major difference was that Kingsman was about spies instead of superheroes, and had …
Director Quentin Tarantino is back with another western after Django Unchained, that has eight of the meanest old west hombres around slapping leather and filling their hands. With hate.
It may sound ridiculous, but I think Terry Gilliam should ask Vin Diesel for some filmmaking tips. While Gilliam has infamously been struggling for decades to get some of his film projects made, Diesel just keeps pulling off the impossible. First he helped turn a pretty average fast car action series into one of the biggest franchises in movie history, …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
