As a child of the 80’s, I have a certain nostalgia for the VHS format, as it had changed the way I watched movies forever. While I don’t own anything on VHS anymore, I can fondly remember seeing titles in the format and experienced them in a way that I never could now.
Fierce, visual poetry are the first three words that spring to mind when thinking of Wong Kar Wai’s The Grandmaster. The man’s name is synonymous with some of the most breathtaking films to come from Hong Kong and has managed to deliver once again with his latest film.
Since the success of movies like Harry Potter and Twilight, movie studios have been looking for the next young adult book series to adapt. With five books already out and a sixth on the way, The Mortal Instruments is latest series to diving into a cinematic adaptation, being more fantasy, than supernatural romance.

Despite appearances, these two need one another – Ben relying on Mickey to keep him sane and Mickey on his caveman like partner to protect him and ultimately keep him in the moment.

While its typical for a successful anime series to get its own film after the series has ended, there are none that have been as entertaining and as well made as Blue Exorcist: The Movie.
Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are a winning pair in this fun summer action comedy.
Over the years we have enjoyed the comedy, drama, parody and the blood splatter that Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz had to offer. But all things have to come to an end and Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s Cornetto Trilogy conclusion comes in form the very entertaining form of The World’s End.
