xXx: Return of Xander Cage - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack delivers a bold sound for a great action flick. Review by Matt Cummings If you missed the surprisingly entertaining xXx: Return of Xander Cage , you weren't alone. As of this post it's only made $37m from an $85m budget, which doesn't bode well for a four-quel. But it's a great ride, filled with incredible stunts and some memorable one-liners, even if it feels like Actor Vin Diesel is putting together another Fast & Furious family of xXx-ers. Composer Bryan Tyler and Robert Lydecker's score for the film is also another bright spot, filled with plenty of muscular tracks which makes the movie a Must-See instead of a Forget-Me-Not. Although Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) has been out of the NSA for 12 years, his former boss Augustus Gibbons boss (Samuel L. Jackson) has been busy recruiting for the xXx program anyways. But that doesn't mean the bruising baldy doesn't still enjoy the

You'll be bored of the Rings. Review by Brandon Wolfe Samara Morgan, the demonic, well-dwelling little girl with a face constantly obscured by wet, black hair, never really got her fair shake as an American horror icon. Introduced in 2002’s The Ring —a remake of the Japanese horror hit Ringu and one of the rare American remakes to vastly surpass the quality of its progenitor—Samara seemed destined to ride that film’s huge success into the big leagues of franchised horror. She had a unique look and a terrific gimmick, and therefore met the basic standards for admission into the genre’s rogues’ gallery. Yet apart from a single sequel (2005’s wholly forgettable The Ring Two ), Samara found herself left behind, stuck down in the dank well of forgotten would-be franchises. The Johnny-come-lately third sequel Rings finally dusts Samara off and puts her back into play, but with the lingering sense that her moment has passed and cannot be reclaimed. After all, vengeful she-wraiths

Last night, actress and model Milla Jovovich starred alongside a cast of talented faces from across Europe, in the world’s first drive through immersive theater experience. The seven-scene interactive production - entitled ‘ The Night That Flows ’ - was staged within the immense space of The Printworks in London. The experience saw 100 guests immersed in the story of one amazing fictional night as it unfolded across five European cities, including Berlin, Milan, Paris, Barcelona and London. The story, narrated throughout by Milla Jovovich, centered around guests finding their perfect flow and took inspiration from the ‘flowing’ design of the new Toyota C-HR - created to look like it is always moving, even when at a standstill. Participants were thrust into the limelight as part of the event, taking centre-stage in the live multi-sensory performance and interacting with a variety of different characters as they made their way through the myriad of scenes. Each scene brou

A teenager born on Mars seeks love on Earth in this oddly-fashioned YA misfit. Review by Matt Cummings The road to the Sci-Fi/YA movie The Space Between Us has been marked by almost as many delays as Elon Musk's SpaceX. First, the film was set for an October release, then a December one, and there was even talk of it crash-landing somewhere in dreaded January, a month where the unwanted, unworthy, and unlucky find solace. It's finally set to premiere this Friday, providing a gorgeous landscape to tell a story filled with planet-sized plot holes but bolstered by mostly good performances. Sixteen-year-old Gardner (Asa Butterfield) harbors several deep secrets: he's the first person born on Mars and thus cannot come back to Earth, and the general public doesn't know that he even exists. Confined to a science base on the Red Planet, Gardner is curious and smart but wants desperately to see his mother's home, while space boss Nathaniel (Gary Oldman) po

After a lot of build-up, the usual casting trickle feed of news and plenty of jokes from directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller , the Han Solo Star Wars Story film is now shooting in Pinewood. To celebrate, Miller posted an image of the first slate . The usual blast shields are down on most of the information on this one, but we do know that Alden Ehrenreich is playing the younger Solo, with Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson as Han's mentor figure and Emilia Clarke in a role that no one is talking about yet. The script coms from Lawrence Kasdan and son Jon and we're expecting big things from the directing duo, who have a habit of taking unlikely ideas and making winning movies. No pressure, guys. And as for that working title? Red Cup is a jokesome reference to the Solo brand cups usually spotted at parties. Please Leave A Comment- Source-Empire

They stole his car, they killed his dog and they haven't even released his sequel yet but John Wick is being dragged out of retirement once more for a prequel TV series. Director Chad Stahelski, while talking through the origins of John Wick: Chapter 2 , opened up to SlashFilm about the proposed small screen spinoff. "We’re not doing a prequel [with Chapter 2]," he explains. "We wanted to, it just didn’t fit quite where we’re at…. we’d save that for other aspects of the property. Lionsgate is very interested in doing a John Wick TV show, and that seems very appealing to us, to give those creative ideas to that entity, because I think in TV you could really expand on what that is, and greater than we could in just a two-hour film." The prospect of watching Wick tear up the Russian underworld as their 'Baba Yaga' and seeing just exactly how he killed that guy with a pencil is quite the prospect. However, with the films' signature gun-fu and prec
