This just keeps getting better and better. Unlike the career prospects of Banquo’s son.

It’s Friday! In honour of the brilliant Robot and Frank, released today, we will be taking a look into the not-so-distant-future (cos if we took a look into the really distant future, it wouldn’t be Friday any more) and getting off our little human faces with the help of some of our non-human friends. Get (Optimus) primed and ready and LET’S  GET PISSED ROBO-STYLE!

Right, so you must all know by now that Arnie is making his big, explosive, swash-buckling return to leading action man status following his brief hiatus to run the government of California or something. To celebrate the release of The Last Stand today, we have of course, prepared our 73rd Friday Drinking Game in honour of the Austrian Terminator. Let the bollocks commence!

His first starring role since making the relatively short trip back to Hollywood from the L.A. governor’s mansion, Arnold Schwarzenegger creaks back onto the big screen in a routine actioner that bets big on nostalgia for the one-liners and stiff acting he perfected so long ago. Does a dinosaur like Schwarzenegger have a place in an era dominated by wire-less martial arts madness and the kind of jumped-up hyper-kinetic combat pioneered by the Bourne franchise? The Last Stand is a lesson in the saving grace of star power, even if it doesn’t burn quite as bright as it used to.

He’s too old for this shit. Or is he?

Transcending the Depp-ths of artificial intelligence.

Warrior. Thief. Pensioner.

Perverts of the world, rejoice!

With his indie credentials firmly established by neo-noir debut Brick and talents further supported by 2008’s The Brothers Bloom, writer-director Rian Johnson returns with his take on the sci-fi genre. A time travel chase film injected with both an underlying sense of moral precariousness and welcome comic relief, the set-up isn’t new, but the delivery certainly is. With Johnson deftly combining influences alongside his own discernible flair, Looper may call-back to cinema’s past, but its own modernity is never in question.

We really need to start pre-empting these robot-apocalypse issues at the design stage.
