Thoughts on SDCC 2014 #2

Nerdvana (a.k.a San Diego Comic-Con) is in full-swing this weekend and the teasers and titbits are racing around the Interwebs. Here are some more of my thoughts on some of the reveals and announcements we've seen so far.

Film Review: Hercules

"Hercules? Honey, you mean Hunkules!"

A film about Hercules starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and directed by Brett Ratner. If ever there was a recipe for movie disaster, this was it. 

Hardly surprising then, that Hercules is kinda lame. It's not (demi) god-awful, but it also isn't as good as it could've been.

Australia vs. Westeros (VOR #21)

Spoiler alert for Game of Thrones Season 4

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Bundy - Australia's tendency for pirating Game of Thrones (and the lack of viable alternatives) makes me wonder: is not paying for content ever justified?

Film Review: Enemy

Enemy is the latest movie from director Denis Villeneuve - starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent and Sarah Gadon, it's a tense paranoia-filled thriller that will leave your brain whirring for days afterwards. 

Against the Crowd Blogathon

There's a really cool blogathon going on over at Dell on Movies right now - it's all about going against the crowd, and declaring your love/hate for a film that everyone else seems to either love/hate. Follow me so far?

Film Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

The Planet of the Apes series has come and gone over the years - just ask Mark Wahlberg - but 2011's surprisingly brilliant reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes saw the series swing back into action in style. 

Three years on and the customarily dark follow-up, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, hits cinemas this weekend - and it's even better than the first.

Rank the Films: Transformers

As any regular reader of feeling fuzzier will know, lists are pretty darn nifty. We have a profound appreciation for straight-up lists. This is the thinking behind Rank the Films, a regular feature that pulls apart the pros and cons of a series of films, ranking them in order of bad to good. 

In this edition, I put the Transformers films under the microscope - from 2007's original to this week's new release, Age of Extinction. What'll come out on top? Well, read on...
