Comic Adaptations: Are The Best Yet to Come?

by Paul Hickey on March 16, 2010

We all know that familiar feeling. Reading a graphic novel and thinking “this is high art I can relate to”. For decades the mainstream perception of comics has been that they are another medium with which to entertain kids. We know different, we became enthralled with the colourful world of “A Superman for all seasons”, [...]

Corner of Cool

by Rob C on March 9, 2010

So I’ve not had a chance this week to post the many cool things that I’ve come across, so instead, I’m going to collect them in a single post which I have lazily named ‘The Corner of Cool’. Feel free to kick my ass for being just a little bit lame with it.
Film trailers that [...]

Batman 3 On The Way?

by Rob C on February 9, 2010

My heart leapt when I saw this announcement today. Yes, the word on the street is that David S.Goyer (writer of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) is ready to start writing for the as-yet-untitled, Batman 3. It would make sense, as Chris Nolan (Director extraordinaire) will be finishing up on his latest blockbuster, ‘Inception’ [...]

Food For Thought: Achievements

by Paul Hickey on January 28, 2010

I don’t wanna be that guy. You know the one, the guy who takes the enjoyment out of games. Time was that you played a game until you got bored of it and only did it as long as it was fun. Nowadays, with the explosion of online gaming, we have become fascinated with leader [...]

An Evening With Kevin Smith

by Rob C on October 22, 2009

I was one of the few people lucky enough to be able to buy a ticket to see one of my favourite people perform last week. I never thought that Mr. Kevin Smith would be gracing these shores, and even though it’s been a week, I thought it’d still be worth posting on it.

Film This!

by Rob C on July 9, 2009

Welcome to The Famous Five No.4 – Since the dawn of film, cinema has always looked eagerly to the novel for inspiration. Almost every single Hitchcock film is based on a book or short story. The Harry Potter books continue to transform magically into big budget gold dust, but nowadays film has its eye firmly [...]

Public Enemies – A Review

by Rob C on July 2, 2009

So I went to see Public Enemies last night.
It was ok. But I’m not quite sure it deserves the reviews that it’s been getting. Sure, it’s Michael Mann on form, but it ain’t a patch on Heat.
Johnny Depp inevitably plays, Johnny Depp. Christian Bale plays, Christian Bale. The only actor that really stretched herself was [...]
