Tarsem Singh’s sword-and-sandals epic plays fast and loose with traditional mythology, but exhibits an astounding artistic style. The story centres around King Hyperion (who is not actually a mythical figure), embarking on a conquest of all of Greece. He plans to do this by obtaining the most powerful weapon known to humanity, the mystical Epirus Bow, which can then be used to free the Titans from the depths of Tartarus.

lint Eastwood’s latest biopic, J. Edgar, narrows in on the life of the first FBI director who led the agency from 1935 to 1972. Starring a beady-eyed Leonardo DiCaprio (who excels in playing these unorthodox characters) one can’t help but form expectations for a bullet-laden historical thriller. However, Eastwood takes an unforeseen direction and guides the film with a top-secret romantic plot that touches on Hoover’s alleged homosexuality.

Whenever a new Twilight movie comes out, I see it on opening night. This isn’t because I think they’re good movies. It’s because I know they’re bad, and hilariously so.
Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is the fourth film in the much-loved, much-reviled teen vampire romance series based on novels by Stephenie Meyer. The film can be described in one line: Edward and Bella get married, have sex on their wedding night and Bella gets pregnant. That’s it.

Like many movie franchises before them, Harold and Kumar have gone on holiday with their new movie A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. This third entry in the franchise is a clear departure from last two films.
The most obvious departure is the 3D, but luckily most of the 3D gags take place early in the film. Whereas the first two films take place within mere days of each other, this one occurs a few years in the future and (horror of horrors!) Harold and Kumar are no longer friends.

People have had a love affair with all things spooky and perverse for centuries. For as long as there has been language, people have been whispering unsettling fables to make each other’s skin crawl. For as long as there have been doors, people have been jumping out from behind them with the intent to startle. But more interesting than our fascination with terrifying our nearest and dearest friends is our preoccupation with scaring ourselves.
