Yes that’s right, somehow a mobile game that featured an elderly ninja slicing fruit is going to be transformed into a full-length Hollywood blockbuster. And we really shouldn’t be…

Sherlock Holmes: The clues to finding the world’s greatest detective

Since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation of Sherlock Holmes in 1897, everyone has been obsessed with the world’s greatest detective. Witty, fascinating and undeniably genius, the enigma has been portrayed in a variety of forms: books, the big screen, and, most recently, TV. For those of us that can’t get enough of the mastermind, here is a comparison of his three most recent depictions.

Generator Gawl – Future-Saving Bio Warriors

It’s a bit sad that a lot of the anime from the 90s have almost completely vanished from the realm of popular discussion. While the huge hits like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dragon Ball Z, and several Gundamseries have survived, most of the shows from before the new millennium are rarely ever talked about anymore. So, today, I’ll be shining a light on a possible hidden gem from the late 90s by…

Tim Burton’s Top Five Films

Tim Burton is simply unique. His directing style is gothic, fantastical and bold, and so recognisable that his work has been coined ‘burtonesque’. For a long time, he has been one of my favourite director’, and having just read his book Burton on Burton, I thought why not? Let’s have a look at his top five films.

Best Aussie shows on Netflix and Stan

While they may not be as commercially successful as their American or English counterparts, Australia manages to release a number of quality television series each year. A great recent contributor to this is online streaming services, in particular Stan and Netflix, which have made concerted efforts to both buy and heavily promote Australian content.

So to help you with your ‘I’ve finished a…

First look at Jumanji 2017

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart has shared a first glimpse of the most recent Jumanji, slated for release next year. The photo reveals the main cast on their first day of shooting in Hawaii, wearing some ridiculously revealing kaki ‘safari’ clothes standing side by side in character.

First image released of J.K. Simmons as Justice League’s Jim Gordon

DC Comics are no strangers to having big stars in their big movies. We’ve seen the likes of Ben Affleck, Margot Robbie and Will Smith. And the upcoming Justice League is upholding this reputation, featuring the talented J.K Simmons as Jim Gordon, as well as many others.

The exciting news for us is, director Zack Snyder has finally gifted us a first glimpse of Simmons in the role, posting this…

Mad Max: The Wasteland, production report

Grease up your heavy armoured rust collecting vehicles and get ready to fuel up for the upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road.

Upon getting up the other morning with my usual coffee and skim of the newspaper, I was thrilled to see an Australian article verifying the project. Right off the bat, I can say any news of this film will have me gripped to the edge of my chair, all the way up to its…

Margot Robbie secures Harley Quinn solo film

The Harley Quinn movie is becoming a reality

Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn in the recent Suicide Squadwas one of the blockbuster’s few highlights. She was awesome, crazy, and absolutely kick-ass. The Harley Quinn character itself has been an important and beloved feature of the DC Universe for quite some time. So it was no surprise Warner Bros. were desperate to lock the Australian…

ARQ: Another Netflix exclusive sci-fi, but is it any good?

Netflix is really bashing out the exclusives at the moment, and ARQ is the latest.

ARQ is a movie, not a TV series. It’s short too at just 1hr 30 mins long, and you get the feeling that the production cost was considerably lower than other films. The whole movie is set within one warehouse like area, and there are just six actors on screen throughout. It’s got an intriguing premise, but one we’ve…

Exploitation films kick-ass, here’s why

Strap on your seat-belts, chuck on a helmet and tie-up your laces, because I’m about to go full movie nerd on all of you. On this week’s edition of ‘things Julian enjoys’ I’ll be breaking down one of my favourite film genres: paracinema, or, exploitation film

Exploitation films are B-grade movies. They rely on gaining financial success by exploiting or capitalising on niche trends and fads. These…

1980s sci-fi action movies are traveling back to the future and into the 21st century. Now alongside Ghostbusters, Blade Runner and Tron, the 1987 film Predator is getting revamped and remade for a 2018 feature.

It’s almost as though Hollywood has finally realised that most of today’s films just don’t live up to, nor have the same abundant meaning and values as those a couple of decades ago. Yet…
