Well, so much for Tom Hiddleston starring in The Crow (even though his hair in that new trailer for Thor: The Dark World seemed to suggest he was already gearing up to play the undead goth comic hero).

Tom Hiddleston is in early talks to star in Relativity’s reboot of The Crow, according to The Wrap. Hiddleston, best known as Loki from The Avengers and Thor, has broken bread with the pic’s producers, and even submitted to them a home-made make-up test (which we’re going to need copies of, okay producers?). Should he sign up for the flick, it will be […]

War Horse – Starring Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson and Peter Mullan. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. At its core, War Horse is an anti-combat film about the cowardice of man in comparison to the bravery and unflinching determination of animals. It sounds like it were tailor-made for Werner Herzog. In actuality, it’s […]

Thor – Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston. Directed by Kenneth Branagh. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. It’s nice to kick off the ‘Blockbuster Season’ – a period I’ve grown to fear almost as much as the ultra-earnest ‘Oscar-Bait’ months – with a popcorn flick that genuinely strives for greatness, especially considering the […]
