When it comes to TV shows I’m tend to like things with an element of the “super”. If a new show with a superhero or supernatural angle is announced, I’m always going to get quite excited about the prospect of watching the pilot. However, I can be a pretty harsh critic; if I’m properly disappointed [...]

I’m going got take a leaf out of Dredd’s book and get right to the point, I liked this movie. It’s action-packed, it’s stylized, it’s true to the original source material, it’s direct and it’s thoroughly entertaining. Be warned though, Dredd will certainly not be everyone’s cup of tea; the movie is extremely violent and [...]

The Expendables are back and they are expendableing more that ever before…or something. I’m not really sure what they do. I think it involves explosions. The stars (of the eighties)  are back and this time are joined by Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme and ehhhh, Liam Hemsworth. It’s exciting and probably critic proof but [...]

I wrote a post last week previewing the movie release of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, as soon as I heard the title of the movie I knew I’d go see it in the cinema. I like things which are off-the-wall, fantastical, supernatural and just plain bonkers. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter certainly ticks all of those [...]

Get out there and see it… NOW! The film was being billed as a huge film from Marvel, possibly the biggest film ever, and it [...]

There is one thing we hadn’t seen yet in New Girl: a girl fight. In this week’s episode we get to see one, well, I don’t really know if I can call that a fight but there’s definitely some tension going on between Jess and Julia. For those of you wondering who Julia is, she’s [...]

As someone who has never read the books I went to see The Hunger Games not really knowing what to expect. From the description of a futuristic tournament where people battle to the death I couldn’t help but picture Running Man. Then with it being based on a series of books with a strong young [...]
