ATM – Could this be the worst thriller of the year?

By Gavin Mannion
January 10, 2012 - 14 years ago

I can’t remember the last time I saw a great slasher thriller movie to be honest. Maybe it’s old age but as I get older the premise of these movies and the reactions of the actors doesn’t fill me with fear or wonder but rather irritation at their stupidity. It’e the whole story of the pretty blonde girl running up …

When it was announced that Patty Jenkins (Monster) was no longer directing the Thor sequel, and that Marvel may have actually fired her over creative differences, fans were admittedly a bit anxious.

The Dictator is Baron Cohen’s big satirical release of 2012, and the film reunites him with Borat and Bruno director Larry Charles. In The Dictator Baron Cohen …

Rorouni Kenshin live action trailer is out – I nearly lose my fanboy mind

By Kervyn Cloete
January 10, 2012 - 14 years ago

  I am big and burly of stature with body hair in all the inappropriate places. The only “product” that touches my skin is soap, and begrudgingly at that. I eat my steak bloody; when I stick my fork in it, it needs to moo back at me. Once, while playing rugby, I tackled a guy so hard that he …

Your first peek at the rebooted Bourne Legacy

By Darryn Bonthuys
January 9, 2012 - 14 years ago

The original Bourne trilogy is one of those film franchises that had it all. Killer action sequences and fist to face fighting sequences for guys, and a hunky male lead involved in a complex emotional journey that appealed to the ladies, and maybe some other guys as well. With Matt Damon having left the franchise, producers have gone the route …

January 9, 2012 - 14 years ago

Last week, Darryn reported on how the Americanised live-action adaption of Akira has been put on hold due to budget issues. At the time reading that news, many people, myself included, couln’t help but think that this was finally it for the already long delayed production. Straw and camel backs, and all that other proverbial goodness, if you will. But just …
