Riddick trailer
It’s the third in the series, following from Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick. Pitch Black is now 13 years old, having come out in 2000 and Chronicles of Riddick is only a little younger having made it to the big screens in 2004. The plot is familiar. It’s headhunters versus Riddick, the planet is [...]
D&D film already in license hell
On Wednesday we had news that Warner Bros had the rights and script for a D&D film and by Friday it had hit problems.

This blooper has been seen by millions. I certainly remember it… but has it made it through all the edits of the special editions? If you’re yet to see it the clip above shows the Stormtrooper bonking his head on a doorway on the way to the control room while the heroes are stuck in [...]

Over two minutes of Pacific Rim greatness
My expectations are getting dangerously high for Pacific Rim. This is never a good thing. Check out this trailer and tell me if I’m wrong. Add in Guillermo de Toro, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and even Ellen (Glados) McLain – then tell me I’m wrong? I know! I might be wrong. It could all come [...]
Iron Man 3 review
