This looks bonkers. In the first Zombieland, if you had to define the character arc of Woody Harrelson’s character Tallahassee in the simplest way possible, you’d just say that he really wanted a twinkie.

Fans of the film will be watching this.

This should be very good. Truth be told, we can’t remember the last time when MTV actually seemed like its main concern was championing music but the decision to revive the MTV Unplugged series is a very positive step towards that.

Essential for fans of the comedy legend.

The director of What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt for The Wilderpeople, and Thor: Ragnarok is back. In some ways, Taika Waititi is a bit of a mystery because he has played the most lovable character in the MCU – that’s Korg in case you’re wondering – but in his new anti-war satire Jojo […]

It’s released this week and is already causing some controversy.

Fincher’s film is still the best drama of the decade. We’ve argued this point before but the history books will not look too kindly on the voters for the 83rd Academy Awards because they deemed that The King’s Speech was a better film than The Social Network.
