I am yet to see, hear or sniff (go smell-o-vision!) a bad word about Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and based on this kick ass new four minute long extended clip, it’s not hard to see why. The clip, which is from one of the film’s opening scenes (so don’t worry, no spoilers), gives us our first look (outside of …
Darryn once told me (booze may have been involved) how he always dreamed of finding his prince and going off to their fairy tale castle to live happily ever after. While that may be a far fetched story for most, for Hollywood actress Grace Kelly that’s exactly what happened. Except that the “happily ever after” part wasn’t quite so happy. This …
Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City took one of the greatest series of comics of the last three decades and somehow managed to bring them to life on screen almost perfectly.

Laika may not be a name as well known as Pixar/Disney or Dreamworks, but over the last couple years, they produced Coraline and Paranorman, two of my favourite animated movies. And by animated, I mean by by hand, as they prefer to use stop-motion instead of CGI because that’s just how they roll.

This one is written/directed by Easy A‘s Will Gluck, and stars Quvenzhane Wallis – who is as cute as her …
I’ve got a little confession to make: I haven’t seen a single episode of Arrow yet. My biggest fear, was that the show would be another Smallville, something that I truly hated. And for the first few episodes, those fears of mine seemed to be validated. But the more I hear of the show, the more I hear that it …
A movie trailer is relatively simple to make these days. Set up your characters, throw in just enough exposition, add a money-shot before the end and wham bam thank you ma’am, you’re done. This trailer for Afflicted however? It’s already starting at the end and working its way backwards. And for this super-powered horror, it’s pretty damn effective. Last Updated: …
