I don’t know who or what it is that made me suddenly quite pessimistic towards modern sci-fi films…. at I guess i’m going to say directors like Paul W.S. Anderson, to a lesser extent Tony Scott and pro-douchebag Nic Cage with his stupid hair have ruined the genre for me. Ok that’s perhaps a bit [...]
‘The Island of Lost Souls’ is one of those “why the fuck haven’t I heard about this?” type films. The only thing i’d seen or heard about it before I checked it out at an LFF press screening was the small blurb and the single image in the festival guide book. After checking it, myself [...]
It’s no secret that I’m ridiculously excited about the big screen adaptation of ‘30 days of Night’, and other than the weak link of Josh ‘Pretty boy’ Hartnet, I can’t see where it can fail. The comic books are great, containing some of my favorite artwork of any book I’ve read in the last [...]

The only ‘Be Kind, Rewind’ trailer i’d seen up until now was the terrible pirate copy from Comicon, and although i’m a big advocate of cruddy pirated trailers (no, really) it’s nice to see everything clearly.. even the stuff that’s made to look like cruddy vhs recordings….
I honestly think this is going to be amazing, [...]
Will Ferrell is not for everyone I can admit that, and his films have been diminishing returns since ‘Anchor Man’ and the glory of lines like “I’m going to punch you right in the ovaries!” which is a shame, and i’m hoping that ‘Semi-pro’ might take him back to that. The thing is with Ferrell [...]
