This sounds like a film to look out for. We got a promo poster for The Iceman back in the summer, when Michael Shannon, James Franco, and Benicio del Toro were attached in the leads. Unfortunately, Franco and del Toro have since had to exit the project, but word now comes via Variety that David [...]

Having spent his childhood training at the instruction of Zeus (Luke Evans – in the guise of John Hurt so that he doesn’t break his own law forbidding divine interference), Theseus (Henry Cavill) finds himself thrust into battle when the King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) destroys his village and kills his mother in search of the legendary Epirus Bow. Joining forces with the [...]

A popular breakfast TV show called The Crack of Dawn (think cheap Daybreak knockoff with even less [...]

Reviewing a Kinect Sports game is not too dissimilar to reviewing a Cliff Richards album. From the outset it has a hardcore, devoted and highly engaged audience, and because it’s so inoffensive, it’s all but impossible to critique in a similar way to its peers. Yet where Cliff’s warbling is now targeted at an increasingly [...]

It’s been a long, long time since we could say this, so brace yourselves. SEGA have made a Sonic game worth buying.

Cast your mind back to the late eighties/early nineties when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the biggest star on the planet. The Austrian-born bodybuilder-cum-toast of Tinseltown had an incredible run at the box office, and managed that rare feat of transcending his nationality (little explanation was ever attributed to his character’s thick Teutonic accents) and somehow became [...]
