Did you read Tintin as a kid? No? Then you missed out. Or maybe you didn’t, cos Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have teamed up to bring one of the best books from our childhood to the silver screen (in 3D, naturally). Of course I trust my favorite material to Spielberg the way I trust […]

Rise Of the Planet Of the Apes is the upcoming origin story for what 20th Century Fox certainly hopes will become a franchise effort for the studio. Pretty much pretending that the Mark Wahlberg-led Planet of the Apes abomination never happened, the film tells the cautionary tale of genetic experiments gone wrong in San Francisco […]

Usually I don’t get all emotional when a famous person passes away because, well, I didn’t know them obviously. But like Kurt Cobain or Heath Ledger, Liz Taylor was an artist who […]

You can’t help but notice: of the top 10 highest grossing movies in each of the last 10 years, an alarming 74 out 100 are adaptations of existing material: comic books, books, video games, sequels, reboots, et al. Everything Is a Remix is a 4-part series exploring the remix techniques involved in producing such films. […]
