One of the best zombie films you have never heard of

The other day I was browsing through Wired as I often do and I came across the an article they have done on infection films, I have to admit bio-hazard films have always freaked me out which is why I enjoy watching them. For me zombie films are just an extension of the idea that [...]

Space Battleship Yamato (live action)

The Space Battleship Yamato

1974′s Space Battleship Yamato is one of the most epic, legendary anime series ever made. It’s also 26 episodes long.

Sym-Bionic Titan

If you haven’t heard of Sym-Bionic Titan you will soon! Then you will wonder how you ever lived without it. This new show from Genndy Tartakovsky has only just started but it is already one of my favourite shows, fortunately for me it slots right into the “Big Giant Robot” theme perfectly.

The Last Airbender

Today I had a great misfortune to see “The Last Airbender”. I really should say I am big fan of the cartoon, I was very surprised at how good that cartoon actually is. It has an epic story but pays a lot of attention to the details. It is a shame to say that the [...]
