Why you should be watching Believe

The Amazing Spiderman 2: Doing the comic proud?

For those of you who have been living under a rock, the ever popular comic book masked menace superhero Spiderman swung back onto our screens recently and I just had to go see the film in 3D. I'm glad I did because it was awesome. A train wreck

Beers & Ideas: An Inspired Combination

Last week I went to an event that some might say was unrelated to TV and film, however I would say it's through events like this that truly inspirational ideas, shows and films come to life. It's a crossroads of creative people that is usually only

Jim Hensons Creature Shop Challenge

It's never too early to start planning your Halloween costume in my opinion. If you want something that is going to look awesome and not like an over priced piece of trash you got from the store you should always make your own even if it takes a

Return of the Boondocks
