The full Man of Steel trailer offers glimpses of Russel Crowe as Jor-El, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and Michael Shannon as General Zod… who doesn’t look to be yelling at people to kneel. Superman’s new costume is also missing his famous red...

Star Trek 2 Poster Released
posted by Jess Collett
The sequel to J. J. Abram’s 2009 reboot to the Star Trek franchise is being kept firmly under wraps until the 2013 release date. We have a vague synopsis and a confirmation of cast but fans still don’t know who the villain will be or the main plot line.

It’s pretty Dark Knight Rises in style,...

Sadly, I’ve decided to call it a day with reviews for Revolution. I cannot see the show being renewed for a second series, and while I will continue to watch, the show simply doesn’t enthuse me enough to write about it. It’s the same problems – or problem (Tracy...

This magnificent piece of trailer craftsmanship may be over half a decade old, now, but it’s still a brilliant tribute to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
