For the first time in eight years, the box office will be without a Pixar movie. That’s a lot of emotions yo. Heck, every Pixar film in that time period has managed to elicit some form of emotion, from Up breaking your heart within the first five minutes through to Brave’s ability to actually sap any positive feels out of …
Toilet humour. Poop jokes. Usually these are not terms that go hand-in-hand with great movie reviews, unless you happen to be reading a Leon Schuster fansite.

Fighting the power by attempting to kill their bosses in 2011’s dark comedy Horrible Bosses, the trio of Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day) are back and this time they’re on the other side of the fence, for a moment anyway. Last Updated: October 2, 2014
Aquaman gets a hell of a bad rap. Thanks to one stupid cartoon in the 1970s and possibly many terrible comics from before then when he ran a fish hospital, he was reduced to a walking joke.

Oh, Paul Thomas Anderson, you insanely talented man (not to be confused with Paul W.S. Anderson of Resident Evil fame, who arguably meets 1/3 of that description). The five-time Oscar nominated filmmaker has been mainly been producing intense, gruelling dramas over the last few year, but based on this first trailer for his latest flick, Inherent Vice, he seems to have gotten his boogie (nights) back. …
Old men die hard, it would seem. Hell, it’s an idea that has kickstarted a brand new genre in films. Namely retired secret agents/black op specialists/assassins coming back for one more night of ye olde ultra-violence and showing those damn kids that they’re still the kind of people that you don’t mess with. And in John Wick, Keanu Reeves is …
If you’re moving home, it is essential that you pack key elements of your …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
