Renny Harlin interview: 5 Days Of War, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and directing low-budget war films

They say the three times the charm. But when youre interviewing Renny Harlin, the second times not too bad either. Especially one doing his first gig for this site, and praying to God that the tape worked okay. And its the same story here. This is 20 minutes, Roadrunner-style. Especially that one aboutA Sound Of Thunder. How did you get from that to 5Days Of War? Well, it was interesting.Mannerheimhas fallen apart so many times I dont know any more whats going to happen....

Duke Nukem Forever Xbox 360 review

The Duke is finally back, but should we hail the king or blow it out our asses? Aaron checks out Duke Nukem Forever… Alright, I admit it. As the months and eventually years rolled on, this excitement started to wane. After the fiasco of 3D Realms closure, the final nail was, seemingly, hammered into the coffin. No, not really. By that time I couldnt care less ifForeverever arrived. Sad, but true....

inFamous 2 PlayStation 3 review

Sonys super-charged hero is back. Aaron sees if inFamous 2 is electric, or just plain shocking… As well as story and side missions, there are also the UGC missions, or User Generated Content. This system actually allows users to create their very own missions and share them online. Once youve completed a user mission, it’s possible for you to then give it a star rating. Even better is the ability to edit any other users creations, remixing them in your own style....

Simon Pegg & Nick Frost interview: Paul, a Paul sequel, Cornetto trilogy, and Star Trek

They sat down to chat to us about the film, and a few other things too… I was following you guys on Twitter, around the time of the very first press show in London. Nick Frost:It is nerve wracking. We have spent so much time on it, and we are connected to it. In fact, some of them would quite like it to be bad. It takes a lot. You have to trust everyone around you....

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D review

One of the greatest games of all time heads to the Nintendo 3DS for a stereoscopic remake. Here’s Ryan’s review of Ocarina Of Time 3D… Cynicism. A lack of new ideas. And its only when you do so that you realise just how much smoother and more detailed this rebuiltOcarinalooks. Visual facelifts aside, this isOcarina Of Timeas it ever was. With this new 3DS iteration, this timeless game has been given a colourful, attractive new sheen....

10 possible choices for the X-Men: First Class sequel

Rob explores the possibilities… And hopefully, Fox will see that that Marvels Merry Mutants are in good hands. Pixie Megan Gwynn is a Welsh mutant with a visually fun physical mutation. As Pixie herself would say,Tidy. One of the most visually stunning mutants, Chambers power is bio-kinetic energy. However, its the gelatinous Gorgeous George who would probably be best translated to screen. Anole Not all mutations are either wanted or appreciated, and with Anole this is no exception....

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge Xbox 360 review

Billed by some asGears Of Warmeets the RPG,Hunted: The Demons Forgesounded like a promising title. Both characters can use melee and ranged attacks, but the two are designed for specific fighting styles. Sadly, though, this is far from the case. I mean, come on, just how lame is having Caddoc push heavy objects? Is that the most original idea they could come up with? The promised RPG elements are also a major letdown, in my opinion....

Jennifer Yuh interview: Kung Fu Panda 2, Guillermo del Toro, Dark City, Van Damme and animation

Arriving in UK cinemas today isKung Fu Panda 2, the impressive sequel to the 2008 original. Its a rare beast, improving as it does on the original. Is that the tight scripting of animation? Because you cant properly test it? Well, we do have a script, and we do rough passes of the movie. We have a rough animatic, and we board everything. And because its such a labour intensive process, we have to plan everything ridiculously....

Ti checks out Age Of Heroes, a low-budget WWII action movie starring Sean Bean and Danny Dyer. Age Of Heroesgot a limited theatrical release, with this DVD release following by just a few weeks. Its not a bad film, but it doesnt exactly scream big screen adventure. Of course it does. Despite the predicable plot, there are things to enjoy inAge Of Heroes. Plus, there is something entertaining about watching Danny Dyer being put through his paces by commandos....

Hideo Nakata interview: on directing Chatroom, the Internet, and making films in the UK

I thought this reality andChatroomhad strong connection. Luckily, I could work with excellent DOP, Benoit Delhomme and production designer, Jon Henson. They both understood instantly my thoughts how to visualize Internet world. Did you get to see a performance of the original stage play? What changes were made when adapting theChatroomplay for the big screen? No, I did not have a chance to see the original play. I thought we would need the chilling ending for our film....

X-Men: First Class: which is better, comics or film

How does X-Men: First Class differ in its key story points from the X-Men comics? And which gets it right? James takes a look… Of all of Marvels adaptations, theX-Menmovies have strayed the furthest from the comics. Its understandable why, given theX-Mens long and convoluted history, and its not necessarily a bad thing. But changes are changes. But its also a constant reminder of the adversary he couldnt stop and the friendship hes lost....

10 classic Doctor Who cliffhangers

Thats no small feat for a television serial originally based around cliffhangers. The Doctor had already been renewed from Hartnell to Troughton. The supposed death is okay, but its the context that breaks down the fourth wall and wows. And cut it, now! Quite possibly the coolest cliffhanger ever. The delicious surprise is that Utopia is actually the first of a three-part adventure without advertising it. Silence In The Library...
