Is this the Ferrari Enzo’s successor?

First off, let me say this rendering is not of the official Ferrari Enzo successor, the F70. However, the fact its designer is one Constantin-Gabriel Radu, a full-time designer at Pininfarina’s German subsidiary in Rüsselsheim, does lend it an added degree of credibility.

Film review: How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson is 56 or so now, and looks it, as frayed at the edges as he’s been frayed in temper lately. Just the right man, then, to play an ultra-audacious, ever-resourceful small-time career crook who slams his robbery getaway car across the American-Mexican border to get away from the US cops but...

Film review: Dark Shadows

Another magnificent Johnny Depp turn, another gorgeous-looking fantasy film from Tim Burton. Their eighth partnership together, based on a little-known American ’60s daytime TV show, may not be their best, but it is funny, creepy and a whole lot of fun.

Lamborghini unveils first ever 4×4

For some years now Lamborghini has been toying with the idea of adding a third model line to add to their minuscule range, which currently only consists of two-door, two-seat supercars.

Film review: The Cabin in the Woods

Five American college friends head off to the countryside for a break in a relative’s remote cabin in the woods. Only trouble is, they’re being tracked by a couple of evil old blokes (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford) at the computerised controls of a weird corporate organisation clearly up to no good. There’s grim foreboding as...

Film review: Battleship

Taylor Kitsch frowns cutely as troubled maverick US Navy hunk Alex Hopper, who gets into a sea of trouble even before he sets sail to save the world, all because he fancies a girl called Samantha (‘actress’ and former model Brooklyn Decker).

Official trailer: Total Recall

You’ve got to have some real balls if you’re going to remake a Hollywood classic, especially the Phillip K. Dick-inspired blockbuster that is Total Recall.
