This weekend past saw the successful launch of South Africa’s very first Comic Con. Oh wait, no. I actually mean the complete opposite of that, because nothing happened! Now while having no convention to call our own still sucks, at least there’s now one less convention-related thing that the real conventions can lord over us thanks to this previously WonderCon …

At this point in time, if you’re still not looking forward to Fast & Furious 6 yet, there isn’t much else I can say to convince you. Besides, words has never exactly been the franchise’s strong suit. So here ya go, the film’s final trailer, filled with enough vroom vroom boom boom action to convince even the most ardent anti-action …

One day, we’ll all have to retire. Most likely into a crap old age home, like the one I have in mind for my father. Incidentally, that’s always a good threat. Take Frank Moses for instance.

That might be the case, because after a dose of Spring Breakers, we now have the more glammeriffic Bling Ring coming up. Like oh my gaaaaaaaaawd, here’s the first …

“When it comes to martial arts, you just need to know two words. Horizontal and vertical”. That’s how the latest trailer to the Kung Fu epic The Grandmaster starts out, sans any Chinese voiceovers. That also flies in the face of what I was taught, as the drunk hobo who was my sensei, told me that the only two words …
