Marvel Missteps: The problem with ‘Event Comic’ movies

November 25, 2015 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras on the problem with Marvel’s ‘event comic’ movies… Finally, we get our first pristine footage of Captain America: Civil War. Arguably the second or third most anticipated geek film of 2016. The movie that finally gives Marvel fans what they’ve been waiting for: the watered down, truncated version of the acclaimed mini-series from […]

Why Remaking Great Films Is A Bad Idea

November 22, 2015 by Neil Calloway

This week, Neil Calloway questions the wisdom of remaking classic films… In the 1980s Frank Oz, the man who is both Miss Piggy and Yoda, asked Michael Caine if he wanted to star in a remake of Bedtime Story, a 1964 film that despite starring David Niven and Marlon Brando, was not a success. Why […]

The Week in Disappointment – Star Wars, The Hobbit, Merlin, Spectre and Gambit

November 21, 2015 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras with this week’s disappointments from the entertainment world… “Peter Jackson admits ‘I didn’t know what the hell I was doing’ on the Hobbit” You know, I have to give Peter Jackson some props. Last year when I included The Hobbit films amongst ‘the most disappointing films of all time’, I got so much […]

Is Spectre the worst James Bond movie?

November 16, 2015 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras on Spectre… Sweet, sweet hyperbole. Where would we be without you? Let’s just put it out there: Spectre was terrible. A lazy, lifeless, sloppily put together excuse for a 007 outing. It had all the elements of a 007 outing: action, espionage, scenic locations, beautiful women. However, none of it seemed to click. […]

Samuel Brace on whether PlayStation VR will kill Xbox… Both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have been on the market for almost two years now and they are doing exceptionally well.

Five Films From The 1980s That Need An All-Female Remake

November 15, 2015 by Neil Calloway

This week Neil Calloway looks at more 80s films that would benefit from a gender reversal remake… With the official synopsis of the new Ghostbusters film announced this week, soon after Dan Aykroyd saying it might be better than the original (given that he has a cameo in the new film, he’s probably contractually obliged […]

November 14, 2015 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras with this week’s disappointments from the entertainment world… “Shia LaBeouf is watching all of his movies in a row” They say you have to suffer for your art.
