Whether you consider him a visionary or a copy-cat tyrant, there’s very little doubt that late Apple boss Steve Jobs had a significant impact on modern society and its technology. Which is certainly a lot more than can said of jObs, the rather lacklustre 2013 movie that tried to tell the controversial figure’s life story but ended up quite ho-hum, …
Can Lego Jurassic World reignite my nostalgia? The answer to that, is a very definite…maybe.
If I had to give an award to the best animated show of 2014, Rick And Morty would be the gassy recipients of said prize. Last year’s hit animated series was a winner, thanks to it being a proper dark season of science gone awry in the hands of a constantly inebriated mad scientist Rick and his unwilling grandson sidekick …
Look, I know that this is a spinoff from The Flash, but daaaaayum that was fast! It’s barely been a week since we even got a title and synopsis for CW’s planned team-up spinoff from Arrow/The Flash, and the network has already dropped the first trailer. I know you’re dying to see how Ray Palmer, Captain Cold and the rest …

As we recently learned, The Muppets are coming back to TV! Yay! Only this time they’re doing something different…. Still “yay”? Damn right, it’s still “Yay!”. The first trailer for the new ABC show has been released and despite the fact that this new version of the classic puppet comedy show is now boasting a “more adult” tone and has …
Up until George Miller’s recent “mad” resurgence, I would have said that Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most visually imaginative director working in the Hollywood studio system. The Pan’s Labyrinth and Pacific Rim helmer builds such sumptuously fantastical worlds in his movies, that even if the movies themselves don’t always work holistically, at least they look utterly amazing. With …
For some reason, translating a female superhero onto a big or small screen seems to be a task that is especially daunting for even the mightiest of network executives. What works for heroes such as the Flash and Arrow, is oftentimes perceived to be impossible for any super-powered person who happens to be wearing a skirt. And that’s exactly what …
There is a set of skills that applies to many actions we take at …
