Fantastic. When it comes to selecting the most heroic raccoon in popular fiction, the list is quite extensive. For example, you could make a case for Sly Cooper from the Playstation games, RJ from the animated film Over the Hedge, or the demolition expert, Rocket, that’s an instrumental part of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

This is going to be amazing. Certain directors absolutely love working with the same group of actors. For example, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine are frequently cast in Christopher Nolan’s films and it’s very rare to see a film by the Coen brothers that doesn’t feature an appearance from the likes of John […]

Did your own location make the top 20? When most people think of Slough,  they picture the dreary, post-industrial commuter town that we all saw in Ricky Gervais’ superb show, The Office. Granted that particular branch of Wernham Hogg wasn’t the most exciting place in the world, but Slough has some real character. Who wouldn’t love to […]

Where do you stand on these? Film critics don’t know everything but there’s no denying that their opinion can shape the initial perception about a movie that’s just released. Positive reviews, buzz and excitement can all translate into decent box-office takings, but there are some films that just seem to divide opinion. No two people […]

There’s nothing quite like it. Unlike the majority of other genres, horror is unique because of the amount of subcategories it has.

Arsenal things. In his weekly column, Piers Morgan revealed that Jeremy Corbyn once prevented him from joining a conversation that the Labour leader was having with Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin.

He was also part of the administration that […]
