Ian Hart interview: The Driver, British film, Harry Potter

Your character, Col, held the key to the whole drama for me. I think your assessment of the situation is correct. Thats the reality though, isnt it? Its stating the obvious again, but that is the reality of most low-level criminals. The Driverwas a reunion with David Morrissey for you. I was in a cafe in Brixton for the whole shoot. You reminded me, Ive forgotten wed done that film together before....

Looking Back at The Avengers (the TV Series)

Always the perfect gentleman, John Steed was played by Patrick Macnee. I will say no more about the film. We will be looking back at the original landmark 60s drama. From a geek point of view, the last four seasons are, arguably, the most interesting. But lets start at the beginning and put pay to one of the series biggest myths. Having also createdPolice Surgeon,Newman wanted to give Hendry a better star vehicle....

Bayonetta 2 Review

The beyond excessive Bayonetta 2 is here, and its even more satisfyingly insane than its predecessor! Its not Christmas without caviar. This is the whole point of the game. Its taking something as big as Christmas and then covering it in gold. Its hundred dollar bills that are also candy. Puppies that bark out winning lottery tickets. Naturally, its Bayonetta to the rescue! Reality and convention are two things that this game has absolutely no time or interest in....

Boardwalk Empire: Devil You Know Review

SPOILER ALERT: Dont even open until after you’ve seen Boardwalk Empire Devil You Know. Im not kidding about the spoiler alert. This is HBO andBoardwalk Empires in its death throes, so you know its going to hurt. Death scenes may be great for actors, but they suck sometimes for us. And on HBO death usually comes right when theyre about to do that thing they do really really well. For instance, we will never see Daughter Maitland (Margot Bingham) through Chalkys eyes anymore....

Why is Hollywood building so many cinematic universes?

From Marvel to Star Wars and Universal’s monsters, Hollywood’s become obsessed with universe building. Mark takes a closer look… Elsewhere,you might wish to skip to the first sub-heading. The funny thing is,St. In his 2002 article Six Degrees of St. Elsewherewould have flippantly connected every bit of television ever made.

Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor PS4 review

An open-world adventure set in the Lord Of The Rings universe? He also gains wraith-like abilities. Theres also the matter of finding out about the wraiths past, which is root in the series lore. Theres the open world and mission structure ofFar Cry, complete with fast travel towers and strongholds. The army of Sauron is made up of Uruks, powerful orcs that function in a combative hierarchy. Dead officers will upset the strength Saurons army, but will be replaced by others soon enough....

Movie objects that deserve their own spin-off

Its Halloween in a few weeks and we need something intolerably frightening to get us in the mood. Nothing is scarier and more subversive than a possessed, malevolent plaything. For example, recall how bothSevenandBarton Finkturn something as mundane as a box into an article of abject horror. Treguna Makoidees Trecorum Sadis Dee, indeed. Do we really needIndiana Jones V? To quote Belloq, just moments before his head explodes, its beautiful!...
