Benedict Cumberbatch Reviews, Interviews & More
Ok, Star Trek 2, this “who is the film’s villain?” thing is getting old. First it was it Khan, then it wasn’t Khan, then it was Khan again. Sure, we could wait until 2013 to find out, like mature human beings, but that simply isn’t what the internet was made for. Which is why a recent interview with Star Trek 2’s Karl Urban (he plays Dr. McCoy) is raising...
Peter Jackson, as you can imagine, has been rather busy lately, but recently good news has come by way of the writer-director’s Facebook page -- Yes, that’s right; that moment Lord of the Rings fans have been waiting so long for has just come another step closer - after 266 days of production that kicked off in March of 2011, both The Hobbit films have...

The nice thing about being Steven Spielberg is that if you've got a film scheduled for release in December, you're already considered one of - if not the - front runner for the Oscars. Such is his War Horse, which stars relative newcomer Jeremy Irvine along with Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Emily Watson and David Thewlis. This buzz is also based on...
"Too soon" - a phrase arguably pinned to Tina Fey for her infamous Palin impressions, to Quentin Tarantino for re-writing Hitler's demise, the list goes on.
