20 Reasons We Love Doctor Who in the 2000s
It was the decade which saw a whole new generation fall in love with Who, and here are 20 reasons why.

Ender’s Game
Orson Scott Card’s opinions on gay marriage may have turned Ender’s Game into one of the most notorious films of the year, but director Gavin Hood tells us there’s a lot more to the movie than that.

Masters Of The Universe
We take a time machine back to 1987 for the ill-fated He-Man adaptation Masters Of The Universe . If only they’d have put Battle Cat in there.

Colton Haynes
We speak to the Teen Wolf / Arrow star about life as a superhero sidekick.

Reviewed And Rated
