Remember when M.I.A. stuck up her middle finger during a performance at last year’s Super Bowl?

Sharknado – seriously
We’re all sick of vampire movies by now (probably attributable to Stephanie Meyers). And zombie films, while deliciously enjoyable, are becoming increasingly predictable. But monster movies always seem to strike a chord with audiences, with the masses consistently flocking to cinemas for another dose of sci-fi goodness – even if they know it’s going to … Continue reading
