Spotify Playlist: Ultimate Movie Mashup

Here’s my personal all-time ultimate movie soundtrack, which runs the gamut from funk to bluegrass, by way of heavy rock and serene folk. With a few notable exceptions, almost every song on the list comes from a film I absolutely love – fellow critics be damned! 1. Duelling Banjos (“Deliverence”) 2. The Soggy Bottom Boys […]

Film Poster: Iron Man 2

A brand spanking new poster for Iron Man 2 has just been released, which shows Robert Downey Jr.‘s Iron Man back to back with his buddy-turned-nemesis-turned-oh-I-don’t-know, War Machine (played in the sequel by Don Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard for undisclosed reasons late last year). I still don’t know how I feel about Cheadle playing […]

Movie News: First images of ‘Karate Kid’ remake

Here are a few newly-released stills from the forthcoming remake of The Karate Kid, which stars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith (son of Will and Jada Pinkett). The film, which is being produced by Jaden’s father, has been re-titled The Kung Fu Kid, presumably because having Jackie Chan star as a karate master would be […]

World of Art: Illustrator’s highly creative marriage proposal

For many people who marry, planning the perfect proposal is almost as important as the ceremony itself. Australian illustrator Guy Shields came up with the idea to create a series of illustrations with part of the message contained within each one, then piece them all together in a montage to spell out the crucial question. […]

Movie News: ‘Panic Attack’ creator signs deal with Sam Raimi

I posted about this neat little sci-fi flick by Fede Alvarez a few weeks back on Twitter, but its popularity took a recent skyrocket thanks to the news that Evil Dead and Spider Man director Sam Raimi has confirmed a big-budget collaboration with the Uruguay-born filmmaker. While the story is pretty run-of-the-mill as far as […]

Movie Trailer: Ninja Assassin (red band)

For those who missed the first Ninja Assassin trailer I posted last month, fear not! This latest offering brings even more ninja action than its predecessor, complete with buckets of blood and enough unbelievable slow-motion killshots to keep even the most voracious fan of over-the-top action flicks satisfied. I doubt it’ll win any awards for […]

Video Spotlight: Mario does Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’

Has watching a video ever caused you to shake your head and exclaim “Clearly they have too much free time!”, though you are secretly jealous of the sheer awesomeness involved in creating such a spectacle? Well, prepare to have whatever video you currently hold as “most incredible ever” banished to a distant memory by this […]

Video Spotlight: Plane Stupid and the polar bears

In this surreal anti-airflight video by campaigners Plane Stupid, we’re told that the average European flight produces 400kg of greenhouse gas per passenger, which works out at roughly the same as an adult polar bear. Not sure the motif really drives home the point, but the video is certainly striking and is bound to get […]

Video Spotlight: Peaches Geldof says “Like” sometimes

Here, the multi-talented daughter of everyone’s favourite drunken sweary Irish singer and charity concert aficionado (that isn’t Bono) demonstrates her uncanny turkey impression.
