I so want to see this. Much like Scott Pilgrim is an ode to ’90s video games (and more), The Expendables is a love letter, written in blood, to my favourite ’80s manly action flicks. The most glaring thing about the poster to Stallone’s cinematic testosteronic spectacle is not Arnie’s absence, but the fact that [...]

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark Monsters
A couple of good trailers, and hopefully good films, have been released recently. Gareth Edwards’ film, simply entitled Monsters, seems almost like a one man band, as Edwards is the writer, director and visual effects artist. Inspired by Jurassic Park, the film follows 2 people as they traverse a quarantined part of Mexico, while the [...]
Batman Is Back With A New Costume
Thanks to the just released solicitations for DC Comics’ November releasing goodies, we have our first look at the new duds of Batman, AKA the resurrected Bruce Wayne.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World Movie Review
Man, oh man, what a great film. I’ve been a fan of the great series of graphic novels by creator Bryan Lee O’Malley since I picked up Volume 1 last year.

Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics
