August 11, 2014 By Jillian Boyd

Poster for Transformers 4: Age of Extinction

When the movie adaptation of the videogame series Need For Speed hit screens earlier in the year, the joke was definitely its running time. There is a certain irony in having a movie about high-octane racing and, well, speed, clock in at 132 minutes. It's not the only blockbuster that can cause … [Read more...]

Guardians of the Galaxy official film poster

What do you get when you put two bounty hunters, an assassin, a space pirate and a vengeful maniac in the same space ship and have them work together as a team?

Bilbo Baggins and his company of dwarves return for the second instalment in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy. Last time around, there was a lot of setting up and exposition to get through.
