You know what’s the one sad thing about super-hero films? That they employ every trick in the book of Hollywood magic to look so awesome, as the feats seen on screen are in no way safely imitable in reality. Trust me, when you wake up in an ICU suffering concussions and stab wounds while still dressed as Captain America, you begin to …

In case you weren’t aware, there are two very distinct Snow White films appearing this year. One of them, is targeted more towards families, and tells the classic tale in a manner that is so sickeningly sweet, that assorted doctors have had to slap diabetes warning stickers on the film posters. The other, puts its grittiest leg forward, starring Kristen “One face wonder” Stewart …

Oh marketing campaigns, I can never resist your viral tendencies to slowly build up a fever pitch for a film. With that being said, Prometheus, a sci-fi thriller from Ridley Scott that hints towards the origin of a certain double-mouthed cinematic monstrosity, is creeping ever closer. Kervyn has been combing over any material for the film with a fine-tooth comb, …

Out of all the actors emerging in Hollywood today, Michael Fassbender has to be one of my favourites. A talented and skilled thespian, he’s also enjoyed a successful run on the silver screen lately, in films such as X-men First Class, Haywire and Shame. And for his next role, he’s about to get all Celtic when he brings a legendary …

Sometimes finding the right actor to play a real life person can be a daunting task, and sometimes the choice just stares you in the face. Case in point: John Turturro is possibly in talks to reunite with Transformers director and Shia Lebeouf fanboy no. 1, Michael Bay, for his latest: A true crime story, title Pain and Gain. And …

Believe it or not, not every comic book that gets the green light to be adapted into a feature film becomes an overnight success. Sure, Spider-man may have more sequels than Michael Dudikof and the American Ninja films, but when you look at more well-received properties such as Daredevil and Mystery Men, you’ll also see that they didn’t really make …

I am a huge fan of Will Smith and can’t for the life of me think of a bad movie the guy has been in. I Am Legend wasn’t my favourite Will Smith movie but it was pretty incredible and the fact that he pretty much carried that movie single handedly make it all the better. But I have to …

The funny man and director of quite excellent films is gearing up to join a star-studded cast of presenters for the Oscars, producers Brian Grazer and Don Mischer announced yesterday.

Sure, you’ve got your oscars and Global Globes, but nothing says that you’ve truly arrived until you’ve taken a Nickleodeon-endorsed sliming. The Nicklelodeon Kids Choice Awards, while notoriously cheesy and stacked, has always been a fun experience nonetheless, and seeing child stars being headlocled by WWE superstars always makes for great entertainment. Here’s a look at who’s going green this …

Where the hell did Michael Fassbender come from? Just a few years ago, he was a complete nobody and now he is an acting powerhouse able to elevate pretty much every film he plays in. Now X-Men: First Class’ already amazing script and cast may not have needed that elevation, but he did it anyway (what a swell guy, hey?) …
