Macca will also be providing new tunes for the movie. Let us not beat around the bush here, Paddington and its sequel weren’t just two of the best family movies of the last decade, but two of the most entertaining movies, of any genre. So when the one of the writers (Jon Croker) of those […]

The most popular hashtags, sports stars, and musicians for the year on Twitter have also been revealed. Every year we think that Twitter has gotten as popular as it possibly can, and every year the social media platform proves us wrong, getting bigger every single year.

We chatted to the trio about the new action-comedy blockbuster. 1970. 2000. And now, again, 2019. Charlie’s Angels is something both iconic of its time (each time), but unlike, say, Spider-Man or Batman, isn’t a property that has been remade into the ground. It is fair to say that enough time has passed since the […]
