    batman_01

    Almost a decade after audiences were first promised a Batman movie – producer Michael Uslan originally announced one way back in 1980 – the summer of 1989 was effectively the summer of Batmania. From books to clothing, comics to posters, you literally couldn’t turn your head without seeing the iconic Bat-sign popping up somewhere – [...]

    Man_of_steel

    Despite the fact that we’re still well over a year and a half away from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel hitting cinema screens, the latest rumours suggest that Warner Bros. are sufficiently pleased with what they’re seeing to begin looking for a writer to craft the story for a potential sequel.

    Franklin_Bash

    Kooky legal dramas such as Ally McBeal and Boston Legal have been a mainstay of the U.S. television networks for years, but while this niche was once the sole purview of writer/producer David E. Kelley, that’s no longer the case. And to prove the point I’d like the court to consider Franklin & Bash, the [...]

    Batman: Year One Review

    Batman_Year_One

    Warner Bros. have been producing animated movies of DC Comics’ most popular superheroes for a few years now, but for me they’ve always been rather hit and miss, with earlier original productions such as Mask of the Phantasm or Return of the Joker being far more enjoyable than adaptations of newer works such as Darwyn [...]

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Score Sounds Menacing

    Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor pose backstage at the 83rd Academy Awards in Hollywood

    I don’t think it would be particularly controversial of me to say that the trailer for David Fincher’s forthcoming version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was one of the most intriguing advance looks we’ve had of a film in recent times, enhanced by a stunningly brutal cover of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song by [...]
