Along with Iron Man it could be said Speed Racer marks a trend of character actors being deployed to fill out roles in summer blockbusters this year. Any comparison between the two movies essentially ends here, though it’s fair to say Speed Racer does go some way to meeting the fun quotient required of silly […]

You needn’t be told that there were new trailers for ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ released this weekend - it may have slipped under your radar that Steve Coogan is to star in a high school comedy called ‘Hamlet 2′ which seems to be a meshing of ‘The Producers’ and high school farce with inappropriate […]

Primarily looking like a spoof of ‘Spiderman’ my company remarked that it […]

We live in a skewered world sometimes - girls love bad boys, bitchy characters are always the more popular soap operas, people who are chirpy, particularly in the morning are viewed with cynical disdain. You catch yourself, or at least I do, making some sort of throw away remark, sometimes hurtful, certainly coming from a […]

I’m gona put this out there - I think Jonathan Pryce was the last great Bond villain. Sophie Marceau was a wonder in ‘The World is Not Enough’ though there was no escaping how Robert Carlyle was wasted, I would rather eat glass than than watch the race switching pompousness of Toby Stephens in ‘Die […]
