Get more out of movies.
Life often throws us oddballs.

Why … Read more
No matter what age, that unmistakable whiff of joss sticks – or incense sticks to some – takes you back. All the way back to being a teenager, in my mind, anyway. It’s the glorious aroma of possibility, when your whole life was before you and it didn’t matter if you had it all figured … Read more
There are certainly some weird pieces of movie merchandise out there. Most of them I’ve included on this site before, but one of the best has taken its time, and it’s available right here, right now. This Jurassic Park Hawaiian shirt will allow you to emulate one of cinema’s all-time greatest characters, Dennis Nedry. Of … Read more
Predator returns to the big screen later this year. Is it a reboot? Is it a sequel? Judging by the trailer released thus far – it’s a bit of both.

Well folks, if you’re also a big fan of these … Read more
You know that moment at the end of Hannibal, where Lecter gently lifts off the top of Ray Liotta’s head, exposing his brain? Yes, it’s pretty gruesome. But imagine if he reached in and brought out a cookie. I know, that’s even more gruesome. Well, if you replace Ray Liotta with Peter Parker, then you’ll … Read more
