Yesterday we saw the first trailer for Urban Myths, the half hour ‘comedy’ show which is due to air on Sky Arts in a weeks time and it’s safe to say that the response so far hasn’t been great. The trailer had lots of people talking on social media this evening but unfortunately for them it was for all the wrong reasons. The source of anger has mostly stemmed from their portrayal of Michael Jackson who is played by Joseph Fiennes’.

To say that the DC Cinematic Universe hasn’t had an easy ride thus far would be a bit of an understatement.

One thing that we can all agree on however is that the anticipation for Justice League is still undeniably high and having been treated with…

Pleasing audiences and critics alike, John Wick was a surprising box office success which dazzled viewers with its beautiful cinematography and a shed load of bullets. Having reinvigorated Keanu Reeves’s action hero status on the silver screen, many are hoping that the sequel will be able to surpass the original rather than sink completely like so many other movies have in the past. *cough, cough, Taken 2*. Stryder HD has taken his love for the…

Technology has now advanced to the point where the majority of us can now pick up a phone or any old camera and record whatever we like.

His return has been prophesied for many years now and yet there’s still no sign as to when he’ll come back … or is there?

Having won the Olympic gold at freestyle wrestling in 1996, Kurt Angle made his transition to the WWE in 1998 and took the professional wrestling industry by storm. After a successful stint in the WWE he then left in 2006 due to a variety…
