When people first heard that Sylvester Stallone was pulling some of his iconic characters out of retirement, the majority of people seemed very skeptical – with good reason. He managed to make Rocky Balboa into an enjoyable film and one that fits perfectly with the rest of that series....

Last weekend it was really easy to forget that it was January. You see in the movie world January seems to always be a dumping ground for flicks that studios have no faith in. Cloverfield was a real treat, a high caliber movie you don’t often get to see in the first month of the year...

I haven’t really been covering the many ups and downs of the current format war, between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, simply because I just can’t see any point to it all. I’m of the mind that the two formats probably could just co-exist and everything would be ok, but we live in a world where...

Fear not comic book lovers, Warner Bros. might be butchering the Justice League movie as we speak, but there’s always The Avengers to cure your ensemble-superhero craving. Although, you’ll have to wait a bit before we get to see the Marvel heroes battling it out on screen – and that’s...
