May the 4th be with you! Now everyone knows we are big kids at heart, with a strong lean towards the geek! So what could be better than news confirming the release of the new Scalextric Star Wars Track Set. Officially released tomorrow, this confirms the first launch in the three year licensing deal. We believe the launch will consist [...]

The Deer Hunter Release Date – 27th February 1979 (UK) Gross Revenue – $48,979,328 Robert de Niro stars in this gritty tale of [...]

This Sunday sees the return of the BAFTAs, or the brightly coloured Orange BAFTAs as they seem to be known as now. Over the last few years Orange have cemented themselves in the minds of anyone that goes to the cinema or loves film. Orange Wednesday’s (where Orange users can get 2 for 1 film tickets) has become an institution, [...]

Set to be released later this year, this is our first real and lengthy look at the new Spider-Man Film, The Amazing Spider-Man 3D. Although we struggle to see this films angle, as it seemingly re-writes the other Spider-Man films, it does have the added aspect of Andrew Garfield playing Peter Parker. Which gives the character an extra arrogant edge [...]

Now, lego wouldn’t be our usual kind of feature. But you know us, we like anything quirky or that bit different. And as we are huge Lord of the Rings fans, we just couldn’t leave this alone. Combining one of the great film series of all time with our favourite childhood toy, then I am afraid you have us! Recently [...]

Spartacus returns to our screens for its third series tonight in the UK. Although this isn’t a post to cover the series, just a quick recap on things where things were left if you’re needing a refresh: Spartacus led the gladiators of the ludus owned by the House of Batiatus, in a revolt against their masters. This followed a series [...]

We are all huge huge fans of Game of Thrones. The first season which aired last year is probably one of the most compelling television series of the last 5 years, and after a long wait, season 2 is nearly upon us. Following the trials and tribulations of middle earth, sorry wrong screening. Set in medieval England, most of the [...]

So, a lot of people in the UK are not really aware of Netflix, which I personally find astounding. This isn’t a new and exciting service here, this is one of the biggest revelations within US broadcast media in decades finally being rolled out across the pond to the benefit of the ignorant UK populace. Just to give you an [...]

After a disappointing 2011, it looks like the year ahead could reaffirm faith in quality movies. It’s the time of year when we go out on a limb and tell you what we think you should look forward to in the coming 12 months. Take a read and let us know in the poll below! The Hobbit The two-part prequel [...]

Coming out at an appropriate time during Movember, Cancer Comedy 50/50 will make you laugh and it may very well make you cry. You did read that right, it is a “cancer comedy”, and although mixing the two might at first seem like insanity, 50/50 manages to pull the two together to create an emotional ride that keeps your head [...]

Tom Cruise has had the pleasure of playing some of the coolest characters in cinema. Maverick from Top Gun, Joel from Risky Business, Lestat from Interview with a Vampire, and of course the all action American hero Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible (ahem, Jerry Maguire from erm Jerry Maguire! – Joe). We recently had a poster for the movie released [...]

No, this isn’t our latest competition where you have the chance to spend the night with two AJB writers of your choice (interesting concept though…). Instead it is a preview of the new British Comedy, Threesome, which airs tonight for the very first time on Comedy Central at 9:30PM. Now I have seen the adverts a fair bit, so someone [...]

2012 is already turning into the year of film, with both the next instalment of the Batman Series, Dark Knight Rises and of course perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited films of all times, The Avengers. Well They have just released the official Avengers Trailer, and you can of course watch it in awe and amazement below. We have [...]

Recently Tyler Perry topped a list of the highest paid men in entertainment compiled by Forbes magazine. But who is he? Many of you will have never heard of him, I don’t think I had when I first saw the list. But amassing a total of $130 million in just 12 months is quite a feat, especially when you consider [...]

So over the past few weeks we have followed the unfunny version of me, Jamie Howard, on his quest to become Gonzo Fit. Not just any fit, but being put through his paces in some of the most gruelling fitness regimes known to man. First up Jamie had to train with none other than UFC superstar Urijah Faber. After that [...]

The Boardmasters Festival brings together the two loves of the South West. No, not cider and farming… surfing and live music. And, last week (10-14 August) saw the 30th annual festival take place. On Newquay’s Fistral Beach, surfing talent from around the globe battled it out for huge cash prizes but, at the top of the shores, there was another [...]
