I think I only know a couple of people who had read the Wanted comic book before seeing the Wanted movie. Twitter is full of the conversations between people saying they just saw the movie and were now going to hunt out the comic book.
Of course come to think of it I don’t recall reading [...]

Yawn.
Oh sorry, I was thinking about a badly animated Star Wars film set in between the real Star Wars films but not featuring any of the actor’s voices except for one.
Yawn.
Ok got to stop doing that.
The problem I have with the new Star Wars animated film is that I can’t see the point of actually [...]

OK I have been racking my brain trying to work out who would be a really cool villain for the third Bale Batman movie and I keep drawing blanks, well not really but I keep dismissing the ones I’m coming up with.
There are rumours that Catwoman will be making an appearance, I don’t quite see [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve gone and seen a non-big screen required film at the cinema, by which I mean your heavily special effects laden extravaganzas or action pieces (like Dark Knight) or the must see so nobody spoils it film (Sex and the City).
Which is not to say that Pineapple Express should not [...]

After spending last night in space for our second last night of the film festival I was thinking of bringing it back to Earth, well DC Earth. Welcome to Metropolis and Gotham City.
Batman
In a lot of ways Batman Begins has a lot more going for it over the 1989 Tim Burton film. But I won’t [...]

The Ghostbusters theme is stuck in your head isn’t it? Don’t worry if you watched both Ghostbusters 1 & 2 then it should only take 2.3 days for the tune to get out of your head. Tonight is space night. Specifically swashbuckling space night. I’m not going to make you sit through any long, deep [...]

Tonight we’re moving away from the actor themed nights that we’ve had so far. Did you stick with Escape from LA or did you skip to the end? Mmmmm. There are some films that make their way into the social consciousness, catch phrases become a shared knowledge amongst people, true popular culture. For a long [...]

Welcome to the second night of the Quit Your Day Job Film Festival! How did you go last night? More than enough one liners and testosterone? Well I hope not because tonight we’re taking it up another notch with another favourite actor of mine: Kurt Russell.
This man is awesome.
Team him up with John Carpenter and [...]
