Cyborg
Written by Kitty Chalmers and Daniel Hubbard-Smith
Directed by Albert Pyun
U.S.A., 1989
In the future, a dangerous plague wipes out much of humanity, civilization crumbling away with it. Enter the pirates, gangs that reap barbaric pleasure out of rape and pillage. One such faction is led by the Goliath-like figure of Fender (Vincent Klyn), a psychotic individual seeking to intercept a female cyborg, Pearl (Dayle Haddon), traversing the United States to Atlanta and carrying the secret medicinal knowledge that will help the country’s few remaining doctors determine a cure to the deadly virus. Dayle cannot make the journey alone, requiring the help of tracker Gibson (Jean-Claude Van Damme) a man wrestling with his own demons and wanting to settle a score with the nefarious Fender.
Right from the opening minutes it is abundantly clear that the filmmakers wish to ape the general tone and aesthetic...

Interview Ryan Lambie 13 Dec 2013 - 06:52
We talk to the great Benedict Cumberbatch about playing the dragon in The Desolation Of Smaug, Sherlock and more...
You only have to spend a moment or two in Benedict Cumberbatch's company to realise why director Peter Jackson cast him as the title dragon in The Desolation Of Smaug. He has that sonorous voice, those hypnotic eyes. But unlike Smaug, the psychotic flying serpent with a lust for gold, Cumberbatch proved to be thoughtful, gentle, and thoroughly pleasant.
And while one European journalist's suggestion that Cumberbatch's characters are "intelligent and arrogant" left him understandably irked, he responded enthusiastically and eloquently to our suggestion that the avaricious Smaug's still a relevant symbol, more than 75 years after Tolkien first created him.
With The Desolation Of Smaug out in UK cinemas now, here's what Cumberbatch had to say about his performance as the dragon, his take on Sherlock Holmes,...

Daniel Hubbard made a parody of the movie Gravity that has already received a lot of internet attention and over 640,000 views in just four days.

Aflonso Cuarón’s “Gravity” made audiences feel just how terrifying it is to be lost in space, and now a parody of the hit thriller is reminding them that getting lost in Ikea is a terrifying prospect, too. Filling in for George Clooney, New York-based comedian Daniel Hubbard recreated the “Gravity” trailer in the giant furniture superstore, where he spent an entire Saturday looking for his girlfriend. Also read: ‘Gravity’ Effect Fails to Boost 3D for ‘Thor: The Dark World’ “At over 346,000 square feet, there is no sense of direction, no silence, bad cell service,” the fake trailer explains. “It’s like way too.

Yep, it’s come to this. “Gravity” has basically gone mainstream. The Alfonso Cuarón 3D spectacle has grossed a whopping $476 million worldwide and having just opened in the U.K. with China still to come, some pundits are guestimating the film could hit $600 million globally ($500 million is just around the corner). So that means spoofs. Today’s is “Alfonso Cuarón's Ikea” directed, written and starring Daniel Hubbard. It features that same, now kinda iconic trailer music by Arvo Pärt (it’ll be amusing to see the classical called "the 'Gravity' music" in a few years) and it's amusing little riff on the vastness, space and impossible-ness that is visiting an Ikea store. Once you enter, can you ever get back safely? Watch below.
