Serenity

Can’t Stop The Signal is the tagline for Serenity, the directorial debut of TV favourite Joss Whedon of Buffyand Angel fame, and it has a clever double meaning.  To begin with, the story of Serenityoriginated with a cult TV show from 2002 called... 

Land of the Dead

There’s a certain irony that after all the recent homages (Shaun of the Dead) and remakes (Dawn of the Dead) of George Romero’s iconic zombie movies, the man himself was inspired to get back in the director’s chair once again for Land... 

The Skeleton Key

Those residents of New Orleans are really having a tough time. As if the recent hurricane disaster wasn’t bad enough, Hollywood has always dismissed the American south as a breeding ground for racism or fanatical voodoo witch-doctors. The Skeleton... 

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
