Once in a while, as you’re trawling away through your social media feed, you stumble across a cosplay that utterly knocks your socks off. Whether it’s a whole family cosplaying as Ant-Man (one of our absolute favorites), or a five year old kid dressed up as Logan (again, another personal favorite…), you find something so on-point you can’t help but stop what you’re doing and marvel. And now it’s time to add an absolutely mind-blowing Mechagodzilla suit to your list. The great thing about cosplay is that the end result will nearly always end up being cool. Whether the work…

Public frustration that big movie franchises remain reluctant to feature significant LGBT roles in their summer blockbusters is something that shows no signs of going away. With recent examples of the sexuality of key characters being kept deliberately ambiguous, or cut from the storyline altogether, the subject remains a hot topic. There is, however a steadily growing list of Hollywood players prepared to speak out in favor of the issue, and a recent article on the homosexual overtones on display in Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok has now seen Director Taika Waititi showing where he stands on the subject.  The Odinson’s three-quel…

Bloody typical. You sit and wait the best part of a year for some set photos from Terminator 6 to surface, and then two different collections appear online within 24 hours of each other. We reported earlier that the first shots of Mackenzie Davis filming in Madrid had materialized courtesy of Just Jared. Well, now photos of Linda Hamilton back in character as legendary sci-fi warrior Sarah Connor have surfaced –  and she’s looking every bit as bad-ass as you’d imagine… Yes!!!!!! The true Sarah Connor returns looking every bit the badass military babe in this new #bhts #Terminator photo…

Try as it might, the Terminator franchise has never managed to recapture the glory days of the first two releases in the series. Movie after movie  has been criticized for poor casting, ludicrous storylines and a complete lack of vision. Terminator 6 is aiming to wipe the slate clean, erasing all three problematic sequels by acting as a direct follow-up to T2, and this we’ve now managed to get our first glimpse of the new movie’s female heroine in Mackenzie Davis.   There’s a distinctly different feel to this project, with both James Cameron and Linda Hamilton returning to the franchise…

We’re a good three months away from the release of The Predator, but the movie’s marketing campaign has now kicked into a comfortable gear, giving us a good insight into what Shane Black has in store for audiences with his attempt to reboot the ailing franchise. So far we’ve had a pretty smart poster, a couple of entertaining trailers, and some new promotional shots have now appeared online that give us an extremely detailed look at the film’s eponymous protagonist. (Well, one of them at least….) Whilst a significant amount of the movie’s plot remains under wraps, we’ve still managed…

Having recently made the decision to kill off Hugh Jackman’s movie incarnation of Wolverine, Marvel has been steadily building up the hype around the return of the original comic-book version of the character. The Return Of Wolverine will arrive in stores on September 19, and it’s been revealed this week that the new storyline will be used to showcase a devastating new mutant power that the iconic Canadian hero has now inherited. As previously revealed in a number of other supporting titles, Logan has eventually managed to break free of the adamantium cocoon he had been imprisoned in, and is…

Ever since the Expendables movies debuted back in 2010, they have reinvigorated the careers of a whole host of faded actors. Hollywood martial artists and tough guys who made their names headlining the noisy action-fests of yesteryear but haven’t tasted success since are now very much back in demand thanks to the mega franchise. But what if your reputation was so tarnished that Sylvester Stallone and his friends wouldn’t touch you with a barge pole? Well, thankfully the burgeoning Chinese film industry has no such moral proclivities, as new release China Salesman demonstrates. There was an age where the prospect…

It was last year, whilst the penultimate season of Game of Thrones was still broadcasting on our television screens, that HBO announced they had bigger plans for the franchise. No less than five other Thrones projects were at various stages of development, waiting in the wings to pick up where the main show would eventually tail off. This week the company has finally released some detail about the first of these new concepts, and it sounds EPIC. Which is no tall order, given the levels of spectacle that the original series has already delivered. With each passing season, the traditional…

In a last-ditch attempt to try and return to some level of relevance, the ailing Terminator franchise is taking itself back to basics. The (as yet untitled) sixth movie in the series sees both creator James Cameron and headline star Arnold Schwarzenegger providing their creative input. And this time round they’re being joined by none other than original cast-member Linda Hamilton, who’s now gone and revealed our first look at a modern day version of Sarah Connor in Terminator 6. The 61 year old actress has until now been in the lucky position of having had absolutely nothing to do…

So, that was Deadpool 2 then. A cameo-filled, piss-ripping action-fest, designed to recreate all of the elements that made the first Deadpool movie such a success and increase the public’s love-affair with the character. There’s certainly no shortage of spectacle or laughter on display in the sequel, but it also provides a big old slice of disappointment, an issue which may ultimately stop this particular side-franchise dead in its tracks. The film’s biggest issue is the gross imbalance of style over substance. No matter how much spectacular swordplay, gallons of gore or witty one-liners it crams in, ultimately what limited…
