Kwik-E-Marts’ open for business
While I happen to be one of those guys that reckons The Simpsons has lost nearly all the charm it once possessed many years ago, there will always be a warm place in my heart for the show. In its ‘glory days’, I absolutely loved everything about the folks from Springfield, so while I’m not [...]

I’ve never met the guy, or seen the movie, but there is something about Mr Magorium that I just don’t like. Sure Dustin Hoffman may very well be one of the greatest actors around, but that doesn’t change the fact that Magorium and his Emporium look rather annoying. Films like Toys try and show us [...]

With great books, comes the great desire to turn them into movies. After all, if they worked on paper, why wouldn’t they be even better on screen. Who wants to imagine places and people, when actors and sets can fill in the blanks? Of course this theory is pretty rubbish, but producers love adapting a [...]

Auteur filmmaker Brett Ratner has been signed up to direct the biography of entrepreneur, Hugh Hefner. Hefner most famous for playing the President in Toxic Avenger IV is not only a brilliant actor but also the founder of a popular magazine for men.
The wonderfully titled ‘Playboy’ will follow the ups and downs of one of [...]
Sam Jackson meets Iron Man?
Ain’t It Cool News seems to have the exclusive word that Samuel L. Jackson will be appearing in Iron Man. Now that’s interesting enough news as it is, but what makes this even more exciting is the character he is going to play….Nick Fury!
Now those may recall Nick Fury as being David Hasslehoff with an [...]
The opening few minutes of Die Hard 4
I don’t know what possesses people to watch the opening minutes of movies, which seems like a common marketing practice nowadays. Can’t moviegoers wait until the film comes out, without the need to be spoiled?
But unfortunately I’m a fully fledged hypocrite, because I became overwhelmed to watch the new Live Free or Die Hard clip [...]
Black magic in Man-Witch
Who loves comedy? Well you might find some here with Jack Black’s latest film, Man-Witch. But then again there is every chance that the Todd Phillips directed film, will be about as funny as Nacho Libre or Envy (hey, if you liked those films, good for you).
In this potential ‘laugh riot’ (sarcasm is addictive, you [...]
King of Kong trailer (yes!)
As the unofficial advocate of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, it is my duty to bring you the new trailer from Yahoo Movies. This documentary follows a science teacher and hot-sauce mogul as they battle for the world record in Donkey Kong. Now I would like to meet anyone who doesn’t think [...]

Despite a name which often causes a cataclysmic mix-up with the director of Soldier, Paul Thomas Anderson continues to be one of the most fascinating American directors around. He has turned Mark Wahlberg into a porn star in Boogie Nights (no hard task), turned Tom Cruise into an ego driven maniac in Magnolia (again…) and [...]

Now this is a trailer! Cormac McCarthy’s No Country For Old Men appears to be getting the treatment it deserves for The Coen Brothers. A fantastic book, and one of my favourites of the year, this looks like a return to form from the directors of The Ladykillers (it still hurts…but least we’ve got half [...]
