Lately, we've started doing this "Orange Wednesday" thingy where you text Orange, the mobile telephone company, and get two cinema tickets for the price of one. Me and K are both film-lovers, so it's a perfect excuse to go out and watch movies while still being on a budget (it's a shame the deal doesn't extend to popcorn and maltesers, but you can't have everything). Last week, we decided...

The sun is spewing out more and more neutrinos – and they’re not the usual ones that pass through the Earth without so much as a blip on a billion dollar detection facility. No, these are special neutrinos that boil the Earth’s core. Cue a series of plucky, lucky escapes as cardboard cut-out characters drive their cars or fly their planes away from continental collapse, earthquakes,...

Entertainment Weekly recently published a column condemning “disaster porn” – the brand of epic destruction cinema that celebrates the survival instincts of a small group of humans…while literally everyone else in the world dies in vain. But I say let the faceless masses remain so, because Roland Emmerich’s disaster movies (Independence Day, The Day [...]
