HBO have released a 2 minute Game of Thrones season 3 featurette showcasing members of the cast and crew giving their thoughts on what fans can expect from the arrival of the highly anticipated third season. Game of Thrones television series co-creator David Benioff comments that season three of the HBO series is the one [...]

The London Film & Comic Con is hurtling round the corner (running from Friday July 6th to Sunday 8th), where some of the country’s biggest names will be trucking on down to the capital to celebrate the biggest and best of cult movies and comics. I don’t know about you guys, but even a brief [...]

The latest instalment of everyone’s favourite fantasy show/political drama took a sharp departure from its typical format to deliver a powerhouse of an episode.

Hollywood loves a remake. Why get writers to invest time in original ideas when you can just take something off the DVD shelf and rework it with a new and edgy cast. Kids loves edge – it’s all they talk about. One of this summer’s potential gems is Conan the Barbarian starring former Stargate Atlantis [...]
