You know there was a time when the Wachowski siblings could do bi wrong, when they shared a sort of Midas touch. Of course that was due to their Matrix Trilogy. I know many don’t like the second and third movies but I actually did (though admittedly not as much as the first). However, after the abomination that is Jupiter Ascending and a …
Firstly, no, not this Flash. Or that one. Secondly, the teaming up of the Oscar-winning director of Silence of the Lambs with the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Juno with Meryl Streep who wins ALL DA OSCARZ! is certainly one that is sure to grab some attention.

Phwoar! But while I was threatening to leave moist stains on my seat after watching a virtually life-sized Millennium …
Heroes know how to use their powers for the greater good. Villains know how to use that same power to throw their enemies and they buildings they reside within, into outer space. But what does a regular guy do with such power? If it were up to me, pretty much anything I’d want to do, especially if there were none …
We live in a society where the moment anything even remotely remarkable happens (usually involving somebody falling down the most dramatic fashion), everybody whips out a mobile phone to record it. And thanks to the quality of cameras on newer phones, we can now watch people fall down in 4K Ultra HD! So with that in mind, it’s pretty amazing …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
