Written by Joe Pearce. Casting is one of the most important factors to get right when making a film; good actors saying bad lines can save a script (see Sir Ian McKellen in X-Men: The Last Stand); whereas bad actors working with a good script can come close to ruining a film completely (I refer [...]

Here’s a rather surreal shot for a Friday morning but it amused me greatly and had to go up! It’s not often you’ll see two of the greatest 80s action stars in bed next to one another but today is the day to make it happen as Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a picture on WhoSay.com of [...]

will ferrell oscars

Feeling sorry for Will Ferrell and why Oscar prefers crying to a good belly laugh I feel a little sorry for Will Ferrell. No, it’s not the succession of box-office hits, the staggering star salary or the house in the Hollywood hills that’s probably quite spacious with a pretty decent-sized garage.

Six Of The Best – American Football Films

Touchdown

With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching, it’s time to get a little NFL-centric. The Super Bowl is not just about splendid TV spots for upcoming cinema releases, there is a game to be played too.

Sacha Baron Cohen - The Dictator (heyuguys.co.uk)

In the January 1999 issue of Empire, the magazine’s big preview of the year only gives a cursory little box in the corner to The Matrix, one of the defining movies of that decade.
