Fresh from destroying the world in 2012 it seems Roland Emmerich can’t keep away from finding new ways to put the world in peril. Almost exactly a month ago we reported on Emmerich’s desire to make a sequel to his 1996 Earth vs. Aliens epic Independence Day, a film that was all about the boom [...]
There are classic movies and there are enduring tales of timeless adventure; you could fill a dozen multiplexes with critically acclaimed films but often the most perfect films are relegated to DVD shelves and (if we’re lucky) a Blu-ray restoration.

I bought my ticket for Avatar at the IMAX last week. I got an E-mail from BFI announcing they were on sale. I rushed to my computer, and inevitably the website was struggling to cope with the sheer volumes of people trying to buy tickets. After fifteen minutes of refresh, refresh, refresh (not bad) I managed [...]

The film that can make a grown man scream, this is the UK review of Paranormal activity and it is every bit as scary and psychologically terrifying as you can imagine. Director Oren Peli has set a new benchmark in horror by means of a simple notion with subtle and in your face scares that [...]

It’s a shame, though not a surprise to learn from The Hollywood Reporter (via /Film) that Joss Whedon’s mix and match personality drama Dollhouse has been canceled by Fox.
