Cloud Atlas: Finally a film to really look forward to?

Ok I know we have had Prometheus and The Dark Knight Rises and Man Of Steel is out there somewhere but this looks very interesting.

From the makers of the Matrix it looks compelling, confusing and beautiful in equal measures.

The (former) boy wizard is a singin'/dancin' fool in his US musical debut, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Though his singing was best described as "serviceable" the critics thought that audiences would be won over by the fact he is "so darn adorable".

Halloween's Michael Myers stunt driver extraordinaire

Earlier we showed you Michael Myers playing the Haloween theme tune with some style.

It appears there are no ends to his talents as you can see here when he steals a go kart and performs an excellent wheelie!

I hope the best bits aren't just in the trailer because if the rest of the film is as good as this then it's definitely going to be excellent!

Lost : does the mystery continue in Alan Wake?

Tue, 05 Oct 2010 10:07:04 +0000

Just finished the Alan Wake computer game, a brilliant Stephen King-style psychological thriller with an ending that leaves more questions than the Lost finale.

But, and here's the rub, the forces of darkness in the game tend to manifest themselves in clouds of dark smoke that can hurl a man across a room.

Sound familiar, smoke monster fans?

Then there are the 'Taken' who are controlled by the dark force, in much the same manner as The Others in Anorak City's fave show.

But the killer is the video prequel to the game, produced in the form of six webisodes under the title Bright Falls.

Take a look at the opening of Episode 3, which seems strangely familiar....

The AT-AT bed

For all those fathers out there who haven't built their young son/daughter an AT-AT bed, I have just three words for ya: Shame. On. You.

Seriously, this geezer deserves some kind of Father of the Year or Dad of the Century medal!
