Holy Ryan Reynold’s nipples, Batman!

They’re the highlight of this week – apart, that is, from the statistically inevitable delight of ANOTHER WEDNESDAY!

Spider is a creepy-crawly urban tale from the talented director/stuntman Nash Edgerton (Star Wars, Matrix) who helped found the Oz film collective that brought you Animal Kingdom. Watch 9 minutes of needles, spiders and childish behaviour from grown-ups now…

Hey, you! Yeah, you! You look like the sort of guy who knows less than he should about Australian actors.

Published in 1985, the original Nightmare Movies was an essential guide to contemporary horror, and, twenty years later, the newest edition is just as indispensible for today’s discerning horror enthusiast.

Pretty much au fait with your ‘Cinema Du Look’ directors? Yeah, we thought not. This is what happens if you spend your days in your worst pants, watching re-runs of Dragon Ball Z (rock the dragon) and drinking Tango. Thank God you have us and Cheat Sheet Tuesday, eh?

After the recent announcement that Tom Hooper, current king of the world after The King’s Speech Oscar success, has been linked to a big screen adaptation of long-running musical The Glums (sorry, Les Miserables), we thought we should cast a light on some other musicals waiting for a safe pair of cinematic hands to lead them gently into cinema screens near you
