We’ve all heard the good news – the Governator has hung up his democratic sash and is preparing to step back into his loincloth/leather jacket/commando boots of unremitting ass-kickery for some new and crunchy films. Among the fifteen projects Arnie is reportedly considering are remakes of Predator and True Lies, as well as yet another Terminator sequel; but we think he should be diversifying…

SO BUFF.

The Girl Who Played With Snakes?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone made a film about a handful of heroic Germans standing up to the might of the Nazi war machine, and then a giant duck came in and raped one of them? It’s time for the mash-up.

A new occasional blog detailing things which we’ve noticed. Obviously. Today, we’ve noticed a very suspicious bit of shiny plagiarism going on – who’d have thought the Brotherhood of Mutants would be thieving from the Dark Lords of the Sith? Tut.

Inception fans everywhere are weeping as the chance to see JG-L in Spandex is cruelly snatched away.

Potiche is the French word for a vase or ornament of superficial beauty and little real value. Idiomatically, it refers to a trophy wife – a pretty, inoffensive girl who’ll sit on her shelf and not cause any trouble.

We just can’t help ourselves. BEAVER IS A NAUGHTY SYNONYM!

Recessions are rubbish, that’s pretty much a given. However, there is one distinct upside to the spectacular financial crash which has bankrupted and disenfranchised millions in the last four years; some really bloody good films have come out of it. We’ve had Up in the Air, Inside Job – and now The Company Men, which will make you empathise with a hugely well-paid executive more than you would have thought possible.
