Ted

A sweet and innocent tale... which turns into much more than a light hearted affair when Seth Macfarlane takes centre both behind and centre stage. Young loner John Bennett's life is turned around forever when one magical Christmas night he wishes to finally have a friend, only in the morning he finds that wishes can come true in the form of the living cuddly bear, Ted. Years later both bear and boy have grown to mischievous adulthood, gone are the days of innocence (By far, these guys like to party) but still the two are nevertheless inseparable. Though not all is as rosy as it once was when John's long-time girlfriend Lori highlights that his failures in life all lead back to his juvenile magical bear, not wanting to lose either friend or girl John tries to balance both alongside a career. Trying to move on and leaving his old Thunder-buddy behind is harder than he expected and for the best of friends they used to be John finds himself slipping back to the good ol' days. ...

Weekend Classics - Evil Dead: Army of Darkness

Sam Raimi finishes his hat trick trio by sending Ash(Bruce Campbell) back in time to face against the darkness a third and final time. At first viewed with speculation and believed to be part of a conquering army, Ash is dragged forward by his captures to pay for his imagined crimes. However on seeing his amazing ability to survive(it's as if Ash were in Return of the Jedi vs a Rancor) the supernatural and his 'boom-stick' the primatives turn to Ash to aid them in their battle. Ticked off, chainsaw armed and out of time, Ash sets out to be as groovy and awesome as he can and how can he not with that chin! Only one name needs mentioning Bruce. Campbell. His badass and arrogant nature this time around win out as he's pushed to the limit (wouldn't you if it's happened twice before!) and Campbell makes us remember the character of Ash so much so that he's a cult hero! With brilliant yet terrible one liners and his cheesy completely off the page remarks generati...
