Peter Berg hasn’t had a good time at the cinema lately. Battleship was… well about as good as a movie based on boardgame could be.

Could it be that we’re seeing a new trend in British romantic-comedies: the gimmicky rom-com? I Give It a Year was like the “anti-rom-com rom-com”, and now Richard “Love Actually” Curtis is bringing us the “time-travelling rom-com” with About Time. Ok yes, we already had The Time Traveller’s Wife, but that was more rom-drama than rom-com. It also didn’t feature Bill Nighy dropping …
Nothing beats a good ol’ slice of imagination. Trust me, when you’re neck deep in asylum applications while you’re waiting for your new ID book at home affairs, whatever happens to be going on inside your head at that moment will bring a smile to your face. And imagination is the name of the game for Ben Stiller in The …
Despite what new mothers may have you believe, babies are creepy. And coming in a close second on the Should-Be-Cute-But-Are-Actually-Terrifying charts would be dolls. Now, I actually have no idea which of those two particular spawns of the devil, babies or dolls, is being featured on this new poster for James Wan’s Insidious: Chapter 2, but let’s face facts: either way, you’re …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
