[I want this] Fancy a set of Death Star ice cubes as a last minute Christmas gift for someone? The image above is doing the rounds and no doubt came from some clever retailer who, rather sadly, isn’t being credited with the imagery. To the best of my knowledge, the Death Star ice cube was […]

This blogger is about a day late and a million and a half plays late for posting Del Toro’s latest trailer for his upcoming mecha versus monster movie: Pacific Rim.

New Doctor Who Christmas special trailer: The Snowmen

December 12, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC have released a new trailer for The Snowmen, the Doctor Who Christmas Special, that re-introduces Jenna-Louise Coleman as “Clara”. The video shows the killer Snowmen and Richard E Grant as Doctor Simeon. A new ice-like alien is also shown.
