Films

Films! They’re like games but more passive! You’ve got to love mindless films though, just try to forget that they’re just the result of the brain not being able to process the rapid sequence of still images properly.

Seriously SEGA, Where’s the Sonic Movie Merch?

Sonic Movie Original Design

SEGA hasn’t seen fit to put out a bunch of overpriced toys to celebrate their new film, so I have the temper tantrum my five year old self would have wanted me to have about it.

Die Another Day Is the Darkest James Bond Film of All

Die Another Day - Dream Mask

Die Another Day was possibly one of the worst James Bond films ever made1. In attempting to tip a hat and slyly nod to previous James Bond films, it turned into a camp over-the-top monstrosity, bloated with smug performances and a plot that wouldn’t look out of place in a…

James Bond Isn’t a Timelord

Bond 50 Lineup

As a die-hard James Bond fan, one of the biggest struggles is coming to terms with one of the larger ever-present issues the franchise has: continuity. If that’s a foreign word to you, it refers to how a work of fiction progresses as a whole. For example, Doctor Who has…

Random Guesswork: Batman v Superman Is the Film We Need but Not the One We Deserve

Batman vs Superman TDKR

The new trailer for Batman v Superman was leaked online this week and it looks pretty good. Zack Snyder1 did the clever social media-savvy thing and dropped a high-definition version of the trailer shortly afterwards. #BatmanvSuperman #NotBlurry #NotPirated https://t.co/6twr1oFBvr — ZackSnyder (@ZackSnyder) April 17, 2015 Reactions have been mixed apparently….

An Open Letter Regarding Batfleck

Batfleck

Have you heard the news? Courtesy of my favourite Taiwanese news-reporting animation team! The internet has exploded over the announcement of “Batfleck” (don’t blame me, I didn’t come up with the name – I was going to call him “BatAffleck”). The issue was even particularly contentious in the office where…

The Chick Talks… Feminism

The Chick Talks Feminism

In this week’s guest blog post, Sam gives us a brief overview of why Hollywood still has some way to go when it comes to gender equality, and explains why attempts to make a strong female lead can backfire and result in removing part of what makes them a woman….

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Casino Royale

Casino Royale

You have to understand that there’s a reason I like Casino Royale so much. Put yourself in my position – you’ve just watched the Bond franchise fire a nail gun into its own ball-sack over and over for two hours in the absolutely dire Die Another Day, a film that…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: A View to a Kill

Death of Zorin

If there’s something to be said about A View to a Kill, it’s that it’s 80’s. Very 80’s. If AVtaK (which in itself sounds like a failed Sinclair or Amstrad computer) was a person, it would grease back its hair, wear cheap suits from Woolworths, carry a brick phone and…

A Random Collection of Thoughts on Skyfall

Skyfall

I went to the nearest multiplex cinema with the two blokes and a chick yesterday, and there was an interesting turn of events. Prior to seeing the film, the two blokes weren’t brilliantly keen on Daniel Craig’s Bond and I was rather fond of him (he would rank second behind…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: From Russia With Love

From Russia with Love

Well shit. It had to happen eventually, didn’t it? We’ve found a Bond film that I can never remember jack about, and that’s because not only is it pretty damn good, but it’s also probably the only Bond film with no gimmick other than being a straight up old-fashioned spy…
