As many of you may know my man crush for Chris Pratt is as legendary as the levels of Trevor’s depravity, a crush that started with the oh-so-awesome Guardians of the Galaxy! I also have great respect for James Gunn, a risky choice to helm a huge Marvel movie as his only other ‘major’ work was Slither. So I follow both, in the …
Every good action movie needs a chief antagonist or villain to make it really worthwhile.

If you can remember that far back we hosted an evening of witches and magic for our community with a screening of The Last Witch Hunter. Sadly I couldn’t make it but never fear, you supplied us with plenty of input! So without further ado, what …
Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …
It may sound ridiculous, but I think Terry Gilliam should ask Vin Diesel for some filmmaking tips. While Gilliam has infamously been struggling for decades to get some of his film projects made, Diesel just keeps pulling off the impossible. First he helped turn a pretty average fast car action series into one of the biggest franchises in movie history, …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
