  • Top 10 video games that should become movies

    Why aren’t films of video games ever good? Because the boys in the back room are adapting the wrong goshdarned games, that’s why! We’ve consumed eighty-six thousand Doritos and worn out nine pairs of tracksuit bottoms doing the research for this list: the definitive top 10 games that must be brought to the silver screen.


  • Blitz

    When a psychopathic killer starts targeting police officers, Jason Statham’s Detective Sergeant Tom Brant is sent in to take him down. Bish bong pow! Jason Statham kicks arse!

  • Five Predictions for The Expendables

    “We are the shadow, the smoke in your eyes, the ghosts that hide in the night…”. If anyone can think of a more ridiculous line to describe Sly Stallone and his motley crew of roided-up ex-wrestlers and 80s action heroes in 2010 action movie The Expendables, we’d like to hear it.
