  • Iron Man 3 is the dramatic next instalment in Marvel’s Iron Man series, a fitting addition to Tony Stark’s explosive story. Set in the aftermath of Avengers Assemble Tony Stark (Robert Downey Junior) is suffering from PTSD, working on his Iron Man suits because he can’t sleep without suffering nightmares, and chronic anxiety attacks. However,…

  • Adverts for Revolution proclaim loudly about the credentials of the writers, creators and producers, creating a lot of expectations, at least for me. JJ Abrams is a executive producer on Revolution, and think what you will about Lost, one of its key features was the mystery of the island, particularly in its beginning, and if…

  • The Veronica Mars movie project on Kickstarter made history yesterday as $2 million was made in less than ten hours, through fan donations desperate to see this movie be made.

This more soul driven direction suits her voice,…

  • Arrow

    ,

    Comic books appear to be the source material of choice for TV and film makers at the moment, and you can understand why, with the phenomenal success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, and Joss Whedon’s box office topping Avenger’s Assemble. But for every The Dark Knight there is inevitably a Green Lantern to show the…

  • House Of Lies

    ,

    House of Lies is brash, crude and features a central character who should, by all accounts, be reprehensible. But yet, he is not, and there is something about this show which pulls you in and refuses to let you go. A warning for the easily offended – this is not the show for you. If…

  • The newest song from Christina Aguilera is disappointing, particularly as we know that she is a very talented singer. For someone who has such an amazing range and singing ability to release a song like ‘Your Body’ is frankly more than a little ridiculous. Now, I am a big Christina fan – I love the…
