Nothing says cool better than a movie character dressed all in black. So with the release of Men In Black III this week, Ross McG looks at the male heroes and villains to rock the simple yet sophisticated look. Read more »

Being a great leader can be hard when stupid film-makers spread their blasphemous propaganda. Surviving the regular kind of assassination is tough enough without having to worry about character assassination. Hopefully Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Dictator will bathe Admiral General Aladeen in the glorious light of his birthright. Sadly, other films have not been so kind to the resplendent rulers club… Read more »

Johnny Depp is back. And this time he’s in a Tim Burton movie. Come on, none of us saw that coming, right? This time it’s the remake of cult TV show (‘cult’, of course, means not one living soul watched it) Dark Shadows, in which Depp plays a mysterious kook. Who would have thought it?!

So the Avengers have well and truly assembled, and hopefully the six-superpowered heroes will collectively manage to deafeat that rather unimposing bad guy in the silly costume (who Thor alone beat singlehandedly last time round). But who will Loki be most worried about? Is it his demi-god half brother who controls lightning… or that guy with great eyesight who can shoot a bow and arrow real good? To be fair, Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye more than holds his own against his better-endowed brethren… which is more than we can say for these duds… Read more »
Top Five… Eternal Movie Franchises That Should Have a Reunion
Posted in TOP FIVES with tags American Pie Reunion, Batman, Film, Friday the 13th, James Bond, Movies, Police Academy, Sequels, Star Trek on April 24, 2012 by Ross McD
The American Pie crew are getting back together 13 years and eight films after the original (yes, eight! Have you seen The Naked Mile? No? Well, don’t). American Pie Reunion is actually pretty good, but we reckon these reunions would be a lot more fun to gatecrash. Read more »
Top Five… Prisons
Posted in TOP FIVES with tags Alcatraz, Alien 3, Film, Lockout, Mean Machine, Movies, Papillion, Prison, The Shawshank Redemption on April 18, 2012 by Ross McD
The presidents daughter needs rescuing from a space prison? Sounds like a job for a wrongly convicted former government agent. Yes, that is the plot of Lockout, released this weekend. Even though Guy Pearce is pretty much guaranteed to score, there are even nicer prisons to stay at.
