Sometimes you leave a movie humming the tunes; and sometimes you have to run… John Cusack blasting In Your Eyes on a boombox held high over his head. Wayne and Garth bashing their heads to Bohemian Rhapsody. Michael Madsen slicing a guys ear off to Stuck in the Middle with You. Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear to Old Time Rock and Roll. This, unfortunately, is not an article about moments like those....
This weekend saw Eddie Murphys latest film, Imagine That, bomb at the US box office. Where, though, can Eddie Murphy go next? It doesnt help that Brian Robbins, the man who helmedNorbitand the aforementionedMeet Dave, is calling the shots. But then perhaps, if he keeps failing to take risks, thats what Murphy deserves. But, outside of an animated movie, when was the last time Murphy was consistently funny on film?...
Like Sarah Jane, I can imagine this book being the perfect companion toWhofans, both young and young-at-heart. Rating: 4 out of 5
Yes, I know, but theres more. Gardening Mamais a direct descendant ofCooking Mamaand so embodies the same basic game structure. I myself love cooking and love casual DS Games and so should have been their perfect target market. Gardening Mamatries to address this in several ways. A small and seemingly obvious tactic to keep the game flowing smoothly, but it works. For example, the difficulty level is static throughout, a problem also evident inCooking Mama....
Anthony talks to the man behind zombies-meet-Jane Austen mash-up Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, and reviews it too… Traditionally, men tend to avoid Austen, dismissing it as chick-lit. The point wasnt to rewrite or modernize the original, explains Seth. Doing that without jarring the reader was the biggest challenge of writing the book. Many of Austens characters are rather like zombies, he continues. They pride (sorry again) themselves on discipline and politeness and repression and subservience....
Structurally,The Hangovercould just be theReservoir Dogsof bachelor party movies. And what an aftermath. Only things arent that easy. Living firmly on the wrong side of odd, hes responsible for many of the films funniest moments. And there are a number of them. I also appreciate that I dont seem to be in the majority on this one.

Lucy loves the Diner Dash franchise. Is Sally’s Spa built from the same mould? The sequel toSallys Salon,Sallys Spais set, unsurprisingly, in a spa. Sally opens up new spas across the globe, with five levels at each location. Places include Iceland, Paris, Rome, China, Japan, Fiji and a Cruise Ship. To begin, you have a waiting area, saunas, treatment chairs, massage tables and spa baths. If it sounds like a lot of work, thats because it is!...
The Asylum’s homage to The Day The Earth Stood Still. Just with a much, much lower budget… Large robots are appearing around the earth and governments are obviously alarmed and confused by their intentions. Typically, the establishment want to blow up the robots and torture the aliens. and some atmospheric camerawork in the California woods. As in my reviews for previous Asylum films, you will either love them or hate them....
Can part two of Big Finish’s The Chaos Pool match the standards set by the first episode? I suspect that we have not yet seen all that Liodel has to offer yet. But what are this race of early space explorers doing so close to the end of time, anyway? With only two episodes of the Key 2 Time left, I genuinely am on tenterhooks.
Whats your background in visual effects, and how did you get into it as a career? Ive been nosing around visual effects for a while. So are you more on the digital side of Visual Effects, rather than the model-based, hand-made side? Ad content continues below Im definitely a child of the digital age. Trying to sort out how to solve problems. Well, the VFX Supervisor is more of a general title....
The return of Red Dwarf split fans earlier this year. Seb gives it another whirl, and discovers a DVD crammed with extra goodies… Otherwise, the cuts are mainly for time and pacing, and are more a curiosity than anything. Feature: Rating: 4 out of 5
Terminator: Salvationsadly does little to aid the search for an exception. Heck, its aTerminatorgame, after all. But it doesnt take long for the fun to dilute. Rug pulls are not in abundance. Now granted, it can be quite exciting too at first, albeit in a shallow way. Its got routine stamped right the way through it. Its not irredeemable, and its hard not to get some entertainment out of it....
