Delighted to share the first trailer for Narnia: The Magician's Nephew. Very excited to be heading up the VFX team for this wonderful movie. A Universe Begins. See how Narnia was created in The Magician's Nephew, a film by Greta Gerwig - only in theaters February 12.

I can’t imagine any Godzilla fan not loving every second of GODZILLA MINUS ZERO, immediately in the pantheon of the best films in the series and one of the best examples of spectacle filmmaking in recent memory. I would watch it again right now, if I could.

Duncan, did you ever experience the joy of Brannigans crisps? I used to put them on "tick" when I worked in a pub collecting glasses. The little brown envelope at the end of each week was always disappointingly lighter than hoped but it was worth it.

I really liked The Dog Stars. It’s beautiful and meditative, often moving, with moments of visceral action and some genuine weirdness. Train Dreams meets the post apocalypse. I don’t get all the hate from the critics - maybe it’s fashionable now to dunk on Ridley Scott.

dubiousculturalartifact on Tumblr: "The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they're frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope. 

I'm sorry but that's thinking way too small, hear me out: 

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope. 

Think about it... who's the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment's notice?

 It ain't Kermit"

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. New York nearly went bankrupt in 1975. If you love "gritty" watch Taxi Driver (1976), Saturday Night Fever (1977), The Warriors (1979) and, because most people won't have seen it, Style Wars (1983). Then fire up your Delorean and move there. You won't.
