Applying Battleship's formula for success

Movie Feature | Matt | 17th April 2012

Despite being one of the loudest, dumbest and profoundly ridiculous films released in ever, Battleship has performed remarkably well at the box office.

Movie Review | Ali | 11th April 2012

"Well... what did you expect?" I don't give much credence to people who equate 'blockbuster' with 'brainless entertainment'.

A Russian trailer for The Avengers and a Japanese TV spot for Battleship. Literally the only thing worth reporting at the moment. No wonder we lost those blog awards earlier this year.
