5 Reasons a Dredd 3D Sequel Must Happen

When asked about a follow up to last summer's Dredd 3D, star Karl Urban was quoted saying:

"Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning.  It’s not off the agenda.  Clearly everyone has woken up to the fact that an audience has found this movie and loves it.  It’s entirely possible, and if people want to see another installment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen.  The power of fandom can resurrect projects.  In fact, that’s what happened with Star Trek.  They weren’t going to do a third season until fans did a letter writing campaign and they continued that series."

Dredd 3D was personally my favorite movie of the year, and I enjoyed it much more than The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, and have rewatched it many more times than either. However, Dredd did not rake in the money like these two comic book films did, so a sequel is no guarantee as of right now. So, today I'm here to show you why a Dredd 3D sequel is a must.

6 Must-See Body Horror Films

Body horror, sometimes called biological horror or venereal horror, is one of the many specialized sub-genres falling under the horror umbrella. Body horror films are described as movies including the destruction, mutilation, or mutation of the human body as a central plot idea. Destruction and mutilation may seem like an average occurrence in horror films, but body horror films tend to shy away from true antagonists, and instead pit the human body itself against the protagonist. While some of them may seem like simple gross-out films trying to get the audience to cringe, directors like David Cronenberg have used the genre to send a message or comment on society. So, here we'll take a look at some of the best body horror films out there, if your stomach can handle it.

Only God Forgives: 4 Reasons To Be Excited

Nicolas Winding Refn, director of 2011's Drive, returns in 2013 with Only God Forgives. The film will premiere at the 66th Cannes Film Festival in the upcoming weeks, and everyone is looking out for this one.

According to the official synopsis, the film stars Ryan Gosling as Julian, a Thai boxing club owner, whose business works as a front for his family's criminal activities. When his brother is killed, his mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) forces him to seek out those responsible and avenge his fallen sibling. According to Refn, "[f]rom the beginning, I had the idea of a thriller produced as a western, all in the Far East, and with a modern cowboy hero."Only God Forgives will be the film to see in 2013, and here are a few reasons why.

Vampire Weekend: Modern Vampires of the City

It's rare that a band is able to bring a new, unique sound to each of their albums. It is even rarer that each new, unique sound is successful. This is why Vampire Weekend are slowly becoming one of the best indie bands of all time, and their new album, Modern Vampires of the City, is possibly their best album yet.

How Iron Man 3 Could Have Successfully Launched Phase Two (But Didn't)

This past weekend, Tony Stark returned to the big screen once again to launch "Phase Two" of Marvel's incredible cinematic universe. From the trailers alone, audiences knew that this would be the best Iron Man film to date, with plenty of action and the coolest bad guy yet: The Mandarin. Iron Man 3 promised to start things with a bang, hyping up audiences for the far off Avengers 2.

Where To Next?: Scott Pilgrim

Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series is arguably the biggest indie comic from the past 10 years, and after the Edgar Wright movie starring Michael Cera came out in 2010, it has exploded into a comic and film phenomena.

Unfortunately, the series is only 6 books long, so many fans crave more once they're done. It's one question I've seen all over the internet: what comics are similar to Scott Pilgrim? or what should I read next? And, all over the internet, there doesn't seem to be a single useful answer. Sure, there are some decent suggestions that share similar ideas, but when people want more out of Scott Pilgrim, it's the feel of it they crave, not one specific theme.

So, here is a list of comics, films, TV shows and whatever else I can find that have the same charm as the Scott Pilgrim series, and that fans of the comics will likely enjoy.

7 Striking Similarities Between Skyfall and The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises

By now, we've probably all heard about how director Sam Mendes was inspired by Christopher Nolan's Batman films while making Skyfall, but just how far do the similarities go?
Before we start listing them off, it should be noted that these similarities do not, by any means, take away from Skyfall, which is undeniably one of the best Bond films to date. If you haven't seen it, Skyfall is Daniel Craig's third film as the British spy James Bond, and is certainly his best. It also stars Judy Dench and Javier Bardem. This post may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen the film, proceed with caution.
So here they are, the undeniable similarities between Skyfall and The Dark Knight.
