Is 'Batman V Superman' Worth Another Look?

Has BvS gotten better with age? Eh, not really. #BatmanVSuperman #JusticeLeague #DcComics #Movies

Justice League is almost here so it is time to go back through the DCEU – DC Extended Universe – and take a look at the precursor to Justice League, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.  The film to really kick off the DCEU, BvS was highly anticipated. This thing was heavily featured at ComicCon, trailers and TV spots where everywhere; it seemed like Marvel was about to have some real competition…

No Country for Old Men: 10th Anniversary

10 years after the release of No Country for Old Men, I now feel like an old man. But, man, this movie still rocks! #NoCountryForOldMen #CoenBros

It’s been ten years since the Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Upon it’s release, it received unanimous appraisal and accolade. It is the first movie from the directing siblings to be taken from a literary source in its entirety, in that of Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy. Admittedly, not entirely McCarthy’s best work, yet, it managed…

George Miller's Justice League

#JusticeLeague was going to be VERY different in the hands of George Miller. Check it out.

When you talk about movies that never happened, George Miller’s Justice League is one that is highly talked about. Pitched back in 2007 with a reported budget of $200+ million, Justice League Mortal was a hell of a lot closer to being fully realised than you might have thought. George Miller – the mastermind behind Mad Max and the equally violent, full-throttle movies Babe and Babe 2: Pig in the…

Batman: Who Did it Better?

From Adam West to Christian Bale, Tim Burton to Zack Snyder. Who did the Batman better? I have an opinion about that. Obviously. #Batman #TheDarkKnight #DC

The Batman; arguably DC’s most iconic character has taken many forms over the years. The Caped Crusader turns 80 in a couple of years and with the Justice League movie ready to hit our cinema screens in a matter of weeks, not to mention the Matt Reeves / Ben Affleck solo outing set for 2019, there are no signs of him slowing down just yet. Batman is a character incredibly close to people’s…

Ridley Scott thinks Alien is done; We pick 5 directors to rejuvenate the franchise

Ridley Scott thinks #Alien is done; We pick 5 directors to rejuvenate the franchise @alienanthology

Oh, Ridley. It’s been an interesting ride. But maybe, just maybe, it’s time to sever ties with the Alien series. In a year-end roundtable interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ridley Scott expresses “I think the beast has almost run out, personally” going on to say “You’ve got to come in with something else. You’ve got to replace that. And so I was right…I was ahead of the game.” Where have we…

Was Solo Completely Reshot?

I've got a bad feeling about this. Solo the movie, not the drink. I like lemon. #StarWars #Solo #RonHoward

The drama behind the production of Solo: A Star Wars Story (the most creative title) has been no secret. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were famously outed by Kathleen Kennedy and replaced with Ron Howard. Lord and Miller apparently made a comedy film, deviating from the set script. Howard was brought in to get the film to “stay on target”.  Since joining the project back in June, we expected…

What's Next for The Incredible Hulk?

Dear Universal, please give us our Hulk back.. #Hulk #Marvel

After the release of Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok questions continue to arise about what is next install for our big, green rage monster. You know, after he comes up against Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, that is. There’s no question that Marvel have most definitely found their Bruce Banner in Mark Ruffalo but even he has serious doubts about the world ever seeing another solo Hulk movie,…

Why are video game movies still a thing?

Somehow I don't think Uwe Boll would agree....

Video Game movies. The sentence alone brings shivers to even the most die-hard gamer. A pairing of the two seems like a match made in heaven, taking your favourite action filled video game and bringing it to the big screen. So why do they constantly suck? I used to get excited when they’d announced a film based on a video game – to be revisit franchises I’d fallen in love with , but time and time…

Top 5 Horrors on Netflix this Halloween

Thanks to neighbourhood watch, I have to stay home at Halloween now. Netflix and chill-er! #Horror #Netflix

Halloween, the only time of year when you have to disconnect your doorbell and turn all the lights off at the front of the house so the kids in the street don’t know you’re home.  When the kids gleefully bellow ‘trick or treat!’ and when you say, ‘trick’ they look at you like you’ve just taken a shit in their basket.  When answering the door to kids dressed as Leatherface while revving up a…

Reservoir Dogs: 25th Anniversary

Reservoir Dogs turns 25 and is still one of the coolest heist movies around. #ReservoirDogs #QuentinTarantino

This year marks the 25th Anniversary for Reservoir Dogs, the debut movie from Quentin Tarantino about a heist gone wrong. A movie which defined a genre and sparked a controversial debate about the explicit use of violence and profanity in film. Two hundred and seventy two uses of the work ‘fuck’, to be exact. Tarantino’s use of conversational tone, pop culture references and nonlinear…

15 years on and I still won't go near wells. Mainly because I don't know where any are. #TheRing #Horror #Movies

One theory in particular centres around the motives of our beloved Luke Skywalker and whether his allegiance to the force has developed into something a little darker. It would be fair to assume that this article will contain some…

If you like over the top destruction - we've got you covered!

Disaster movies have always held a special place in the hearts of film fans worldwide. A staple of 70’s cinema, with Irwin Allen producing disaster film after disaster film, the genre returned in spectacular fashion during the mid 90’s with the emergence of CGI. Directors now had infinite tools at their disposal to destroy towns, cities and planets – and audiences ate them up. With each film…
