WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I think this is the first character where Vin Diesel actually plays an out-and-out hero. Put it this way, Xander Cage = criminal, Richard B.Riddick = murderer and Fast and the Furious = not so clean cut either. I don’t know how many of you know this, but he …

Beginning with Bumblebee
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers In order to watch this article, I watched Bumblebee for the first time, but I had to make myself suffer through Transformers for the second time. I put it this way because the film was just as bad as I remembered. Now, that’s not saying that Bumblebee was a …
Last House on the Left 1972 vs 2009
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers So here we are again, the proof of a lack of imagination in the noughties film industry meaning that they decided to remake old horror films.

Singer to Actor: Jamie Foxx
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, I was never drawn to Jamie Foxx as a musician, especially as it seems he was only ever a featuring artist. The only song I think I even like of his was Gold Digger which is technically a Kanye West song (yes, Kanye West – I’m …

WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Coulrophobia: The irrational fear of clowns. Now, I don’t think – as a child at least – this fear is that irrational: these guys are permanently smiling even when they aren’t happy! There’s a reason Stephen King decided to have Pennywise look like a clown people! They can terrify …
Singer to Actor: David Bowie
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Throughout his life and career, Bowie was known by different names including Ziggy Stardust and ‘The Thin White Duke’. I’ll be honest, I’m still rather heartbroken by his death in 2016 because even though some would say I was born too late – I have always been a fan …
Doctor Strange AKA Benedict Cumberbatch
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m probably going to say this over and over again but that would be because growing up I was always more of DC fan than Marvel, but I never had much of an idea who Doctor Strange was. However, I don’t think I could imagine someone else playing him …
