We all know that sometimes certain things can go wrong in the filmmaking process that result in a below-average film and that can make for a bad viewing experience for the audience. Then there are those films that are so bad, so terribly executed by all involved, that they go full circle and become awesome. Be prepared to laugh and cringe in equal measure as you take a look at our top ten so-bad-they’re-good films: Continue reading
It’s that time of the year again when the shops fill up with heart-shaped balloons and teddy bears and your television is overrun with commercials telling you to either buy your significant other some crap or risk losing them forever, or to register with a dating website immediately so you won’t DIE ALONE YOU SAD LITTLE PERSON!

So instead of doing a best/worst list like usual, this time we’ve compiled a list of films that best compliment your marital status (You’re welcome!)

2011 has been called “The Year of Ryan Gosling” by many. And while Gosling certainly had a prolific year, it can also be argued that 2011 was also “The Year of Michael Fassbender” Even if you don’t recognise the name you will certainly have seen him.

But being well out of his twenties by the time he hit it big, he’s not concerned with courting the paparazzi. He comes off as gracious, self-deprecating and intelligent in interviews. Someone who’s paid his dues and doesn’t take success for granted. Sounds like our kind of guy and therefore we’d like to take the chance and highlight his best roles so far. Continue reading
At 24, this former child actress is starting to make waves in Hollywood. She’s been on various “One to Watch” lists ever since her role as a rebellious teen in Thirteen, but has so far been more known for making headlines with her “scandalous” romantic life (Marilyn Manson! Bi-sexuality! Billy Elliot!!) and interesting fashion choices. But that’s all set to change now with her Emmy nominated performance in the mini-series Mildred Pierce and her role in George Clooney‘s political drama The Ides of March. She’s always seemed a bit too mature for her age, which can come off as slightly creepy in a child actor, but we predict that as she hits her mid-twenties Evan Rachel Wood is ready to hit the big time and show us what she’s made of.
