Wishful Thinking: Action Con

Action Con

After waxing poetic about my love for The Expendables, and quite frankly, all things action yesterday I got to thinking about all of the different conventions that take place.  After searching the Internet I found loads of different cons.  Anime, Sci-Fi, Comic, Horror and more specifically, Star Trek and Twilight related conventions.  I’ve been to [...]

Anderson’s own 3D swords and moustaches epic, and the grapevine had it that he was about to sign up for All You Need is Kill, a Groundhog Day/Starship [...]

Spielberg Graphic Novel Adaptation on The Way

In a somewhat inevitable move (given his productivity in television and his love for meticulously storyboarding his own films) it looks like the great man himself, Mr Steven Spielberg is jumping aboard the comic book live-action adaptation bandwagon.

The New Expendables Poster is Artistically Explosive

New Expendables Poster

There have been some very cool posters for movies this year but most of them come as artist renderings who have nothing to do with the film.  Recently, there have been some really cool exceptions to this rule, like one of the more recent posters for Buried and now the all new poster for The [...]

Four Lions Blu-ray Review

four lions blu-ray

As with the other DVDs of Morris’s work, and I’m thinking specifically of The Day Today and the sublime Brass Eye, there is a wonderful menu when you load up the disc – totally surreal, and completely correct for the film. Immediately you know you’re in good hands. I reviewed this film when it was [...]
