We review BEN-HUR – heavy-handed but watchable enough
Though far from a turkey, the new Ben-Hur plays by safe, traditional formula throughout.
New posters released for BEN-HUR remake
I don’t think much needs to be said about the upcoming remake of Ben-Hur. It’s a remake of one of the best films ever made.

It’s the strangest blend of action movie and first-person video game and I’ll be honest, I’m sceptical about this. I loved the original music video that inspired the idea, but a whole movie? Besides for the inevitable motion sickness, …
Check out this incredible first-person movie called HARDCORE, laddie!
Usually when you see the words “hardcore” and “POV” in close proximity to each other on the internet, it means some very, very naughty things.
