Summit is reportedly aiming high in its casting search for the forthcoming Highlander reboot, with Tom Cruise thought to be top of the list to take on Sean Connery’s role… According to The Wrap, the studio has tapped up Cruise regarding the project, although there’s no word as to how …

There’s something very different about this year’s spate of big-name FPS. Jetpacks. Jetpacks all over the place. Where once the plodding, funneled, straightforward shooting of the modern military man-killer dominated the AAA spectrum, now we have something altogether freer, more flowing, and almost pathologically obsessed with its newfound Y-axis. Even …

The Pokemon formula is a classic: collect monsters, shove them in your pockets, fight everyone you make eye contact with. There’s always the same number of Gym badges to collect (eight FYI, though you probably knew that already) and there’s always an evil organisation or two to topple in the …

Love is made of sturdier stuff than sentiment in Edward Lovelace and James Hall’s moving but never manipulative docu-portrait of Scottish indie-pop hero Edwyn Collins. When Collins suffered two strokes in 2005, he began a harrowing trek to recover his motor skills and memory. The directors convey his existential fear …
