Abrams’ Enterprise bargaining pays off

Be Sociable, Share! Tweet I’ve never been much of a Star Trek fan. Always been in the Star Wars camp when it came to picking sci-fi sides.

Be Sociable, Share! Tweet You may have recently read that hot shot director Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) is planning to reboot the stand-alone Predator series, in a big way.

Uwe’s Seed spawns Boll full of disgust

You’d think [...]

The movie that made this viewer sigh

Be Sociable, Share! Tweet Not sure about it being The Day The Earth Stood Still. It may have been still but it was more due to the fact it was put to sleep. While it was getting late in the evening, I found myself dozing off towards the end of watching this extremely lacklustre remake [...]

Action Jane to finally give ‘em some hell

11 Professional Killers Who Prove a Hit

Be Sociable, Share! Tweet Hitmen, assassins, call them what you will. They have made for some entertaining movie characters over the years. Some just plain funny, others downright scary.

In Bruges. Glad to have visited

Be Sociable, Share! Tweet Don’t be too fooled by the ice-cream. In Bruges is a quirky black comedy with an emphasis on the black. In fact, it is a film that possesses the darkest of undertones. At the core of the movie is the accidental death of an innocent child at the hand of a hit-man, [...]
