Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning Xbox 360 review

Then keep the real world at bay for even longer with Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning Youre dead. But dont worry, you get better. Thats how your story starts off inKingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning. All in a days work for a dead hero walking. And additional feature of the combat system is the fate meter. This stealth system functions much like those seen in other games, includingSkyrim. Dont mistake this for overly basic though....

Gina Carano interview: Haywire, The Expendables 3, Star Wars and MMA

I nervously anticipated my interview with Gina Carano. My other concern was with myself. This is the conversation we had. Were you familiar with his films?

The top 25 cult film actors

It is high time, therefore, that we credited these individuals with the recognition they deserve. An appearance from Kier however, in pretty much anything, is always welcome. Buseys previous output however, more than makes up for any recent indiscretions. The news that Weller has joined the cast ofStar Trek 2is also very welcome indeed. Hugo Weaving is great. If Michael isnt asked to be a part ofAvatar 2,then James Cameron is officially an idiot....

The Brigand Of Kandahar DVD review

Even the presence of Oliver Reed cant save this rather half-hearted historical drama from Hammer. Ronald Lewis plays Lieutenant Robert Case, a serving officer of mixed race descent in the British Raj. The captured officer was also the husband of the woman with whom Case was having an affair? Well, thats just not cricket now, is it? A sense of lets just get this one of the way permeates the whole production....

Chronicle review

Ladies and gentleman, meet the first absolutely must-see movie of 2012. Here’s why Chronicle might just be the big surprise of the year… Think back to the worst examples of Hollywood filmmaking. What comes to mind? An absence of truly interesting ideas. A ridiculously bloated running time. And what a depressing day-to-day life it is. Gradually, their powers increase. Its like a muscle, one of the friends suggests. Were working it out....

Cinema’s 10 most unexpectedly dangerous jobs

All fairly safe jobs in real life, right? But not in the movies… Army, rugby player, bodyguard, policeman/woman, criminal, etc. Its a system that works. In the movies, though, its different.

YetIndiana Jones a professor of archaeology manages to get himself into mortal bother on an alarmingly regular basis. A matter for the union, wethinks....

Boardwalk Empire Season One Blu-ray review

ComparingBoardwalk Empireto these two series is a deserved high compliment. The characters arent one-dimensional, but richly developed and wonderfully realised. Among the drama and intrigue, theres an undercurrent of humour that runs throughout the series. Extras The series Blu-ray release really shows off its amazing set design and cinematographic presentation. Together, these form a compelling behind the scenes experience; more so than the standalone features on disc. Speakeasy Tourtakes us on a 24-minute tour of Chicago and New York during the Prohibition....
