Admittedly, there are some exceptions. For example, Disney are surely...

Any film that takes place in and around a casino automatically gains an edginess and kudos, and in the modern internet age, where online gambling is such a popular arena, the topic has a greater resonance than ever.

With the production of movies no longer the domain of the big studios, more and more films are produced every year and film festivals help to promote the work of lesser known or unknown artists and introduce viewers to films they might never be exp...

While the DCEU is still in its infancy, receiving what can only be described as polarising reviews for their most recent efforts meant that the popular superhero franchise was in need of a shot in the arm. That shot in the arm came in the form of Wonder Woman, which hit UK cinemas earlier this year and went on to become both a critically and commercial success, grossing more than $666 million worldwide to date. More importantly, fans of the DCEU can now look forward to the release of Justic...
Film festivals tend to display a wider variety of movies than would typically be seen in a cinema. For those interested in a particular niche, or perhaps documentaries, there is plenty of scope to actually come away having learned something. With a depth to films rarely explored in the mainstream, film festivals offer an alternative to those wanting to actually learn something transferable to life. Here are just a few of those examples, each helping us go forward to the future in their own way...

From the sight of a Sean Connery in his prime 007 years – bedecked in a tuxedo and nonchalantly lighting a handmade Balkan cigarette – to the fervent concentration of an unassuming Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, some of the most iconic moments ever seen in film have taken place in a casino setting. Naturally, the innate glamour of the casino, with its bright lights, clashing colors, ceaseless noise, and high stakes can often be the main draw with films that heavily inv...

Video games and movies share a unique bond. It is almost a guarantee that with the release of a major movie, a video game tying into it will follow. But what about when this cosmic balance shifts the other way around: what about when movies are spawned from video games?
Largely dubbed as the first film to be hatched from a video game was the rare Disney-Nintendo collaboration, the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo. The film...
