We’ve got access to the first of the new Karate Kid trailers. This is the remake featuring Jaden Smith (Will Smith‘s son) and a certain Jackie Chan. The plot is familiar but the settings will not be. I was as concerned as everyone else when they announced they would be remaking this film but I […]

New Daybreakers clips
Daybreakers is a vampire thiller that’s expected to show in January next year. The cast is excellent; Sam Neill, Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe. The plot seems simple but powerful; a plague turns most of mankind into vampires. We look at the year 2019 and at Hawke’s character; a vampire researcher trying to find an […]
Darth Vader takes control of the Wall Street Stock Exchange
Just in case you don’t get another chance in your life to see the Empire come to Earth – here’s some footage of Vader and a set of stormtroopers taking control of the end of trading bell at the Wall Street Stock Exchange. Actually; this isn’t that uncommon. Every day (I think) Wall Street gets […]
Teenage Mutant Blankets – TMNT Snuggies
Yep. This is a strange one. This is a present for someone you feel very secure buying stuff for. I’m not sure you can ever buy this for yourself. I’m talking about, of course, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle snuggies. You’ve no reason to believe me but would you doubt the Daily What as well?
Inception poster and movie
This is the second Inception poster that’s been released in what’s looking like a classic Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros teaser campaign.

Fans of the Diablo series have combed through the concept art and compared notes with the Monk’s cinematic movie to discover a new monster type for Diablo 3. The Morlu Caster is expected […]
Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space RPG Review
I’ve not written an RPG review in many years but this feels like a special occasion and a reason to return to old bad habits. A about a million years ago (give or take) I threw enough money at a charity auction to win an early copy of the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and […]
Kick Ass trailer: I am Hit Girl (via @scifiwire)
This looks to be pretty awesome. I thought Scifi Wire’s write up of the clip was going to be misleading – could it really be squee worthy? Well. I’ll let you decide but I’m wondering whether the movie will be worth watching for Kick Ass or for Hit Girl and Big Daddy.
The BBC teases us with three Day Of The Triffiids clips
Oh my gosh. Sometime on TV to look forward to this Christmas! Of course; what will happen now is that that Doctor Who will turn out to be better than I fear and this will turn out to be worse. Or did the BBC line this up to keep ‘us lot’ happy after reviewing the […]
