Snow White’s Huntsman has got a shedload and the upcoming Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (yep, that is the name of a film) is a dab hand at wielding one – axes are the new swords, apparently. But these five were swinging hatchets before it became fashionable, as Ross McD illustrates. Continue reading
Commas, eh? Who needs them? Not the title of Martha Marcy May Marlene, a pretty decent film despite containing an Olsen sister. Find out what Ross McG thought of it below. Continue reading
The much-anticipated Prometheus is finally out, and if you’re hoping for an awesome sci-fi epic set in the world of Ridley Scott’s other sci-fi epic Alien, it looks like you may be in luck. If you are hoping for a tale about the ancient Greek Titan of legend… you should probably read more cinema previews online. Ross McD gives some more warning for easily duped classical studies students. Continue reading
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. Continue reading

To mark this biennial event, Ross McG puts all the Depp/Burton concoctions into one big mix. Continue reading
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?
