With 2013 now well in full swing, it’s time to look at the year ahead with relish! Luckily we avoided the apparent apocalypse we were all doomed for! Many people around the world prepared for their own demise, but none more than the Americans. People give Americans a hard time...

  Sam Mendes and 007 deliver their message to the nation…   A learned university lecturer once told me that James Bond has served to represent the social consciousness of the nation. Sorry if this sounds a bit highbrow, but for those of your at uni, this is how you’ve...

  Welcome to Pandora! Regular-looking Sam here to give you the lowdown on the new sandbox-gunfest that is Borderlands 2. First things first, this game has more guns than you can ever imagine. Literally, try and think about how many guns that is. No, there’s more. Everything killed...

  Yes, Yes. I know you’ve missed Olli T’s fast-paces ramblings from yesteryear. Not to worry, he’s back with more videos, more jump cuts, and more laughter. HAHAHAHAHAHA. For those of you who haven’t seen his Synopsisizes before, you’re in for a treat!...

  When I heard Ridley Scott was making another sci-fi film, I was as happy as a chestburster coiled in the innards of an unsuspecting victim. When I heard it was going to be a prequel to Alien, I yelled out in excitement and am now banned from my local library. When I heard that it...

  Is this the rebirth for the Original Lawman of Mega-City One or is the franchise Judge Dead?   Way back in the nineties, I was jealous child. Jealous of my older brother because he had recently acquired the Judge Dredd movie book and a seriously desirable Judge Dredd t-shirt. Now...

  Greetings one and all!   Welcome back to a brand spanking new musical musings! The attentive amongst you will notice that I’ve been rather quiet over the past month or so. ‘What have you been up to?’ I hear you say. Well thanks for asking, I’ve been over...

  Does Batman Rise to the Occasion?   I’ve been reading Batman for a long time and the character has been at the centre of some awesome story arcs such as Knightfall, War Games, and The Dark Knight Returns. And what I’ve always liked about Nolan’s Batman movies is...

  Amazing Fantasy…   Everybody loves Spider-man right? The first of the Sam Raimi trilogy was the first film to pass $100 million in one weekend, so that’s not bad, eh? So how does this one stack up? Well, it’s better. When people started talking about this movie it was...

  The ‘cabin in the woods’ premise has done so many times that even Michael Cera would agree that it’s getting repetitive. So when a film comes along by that very title, it confuses your brain so very much that grey matter begins oozing out of your ears. Is this a film so...

  I s it just me, or do trailers give away far too much these days? From nothing more than a few minutes of promo, you are already shown the epic finale, who the bad guy is, and all the funny lines. So when I saw the trailer for ‘The Raid’, which simply amounts to 1 and a half...

  Come one, come all! Let us join together in celebration of the Queen’s 60 years on the throne! I was once on the throne for a whole afternoon but Gary Barlow didn’t organise me a concert… Tomorrow, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations will reach a climax...

  Be sure to check out the YouTube playlist, so you can listen along whilst you read!   Hello one and all!   In this article we take a rare glimpse into the future, and see the acts that TrendFlux expects big things from. I know it’s not much of a revolutionary format...

  Band of the best……   Avengers Assemble (or just ‘The Avengers’, for those of us who are too cool for skool) has been met with both critical and commercial success. Tracking north of $150 million in its first weekend, this film has reached the dizzying heights it...

  “Pop music? About time!” some of you will say. I know it has taken me a while to let go of my fears and embrace the world of Pop, but I’m struggling to catch up with modern times. For example, I heard a lot about internet dating sites, so I decided to give it a go....

  To listen to this week’s playlist while you read, just click here   Recently, the UK has been enjoying uncharacteristically sunny weather, which has led to it being described as both ‘amazeballs’ and ‘totes sunny’. In typical British fashion, people...

  Wagwan peeps? (I expect answers to this question in the comments..)   In this article we will take a look at bands and musicians that hold their place in TrendFlux’s ‘Hall of Fame’. In the last dose of ‘The Greats’, we saw Bruce Springsteen, The...

  The Hunger Games takes place in a post-apocalyptic America where each year, 24 children are forced to fight to the death. Sounds pretty good so far, eh? As a punishment for a previous rebellion, two children are selected at random from each district to fight in a large arena until only...

  Salutations people,   Unfortunately this week I have been a very busy man. Therefore have little time to waste with such petty trivialities such as ‘words’ and ‘humour’. I do however have one little gag for you:   Two tampons walked past each other...

  In a nutshell, the boys got what they wanted. “Keira got her boob out!” was the common cry of many, and their little lives were complete. I let out a rather enthusiastic cheer at the first appearance of Michael Fassbender and that turned a few heads. So basically we were...

  Buenos dias mis amigos! This week I thought I’d try to bring you some class music from some even classer (not a word) films. Unfortunately, if you are a girl or a male hopelessly trapped in a closet deeper than Narnia, there is no music from the Notebook here. As I speak, I...

  Unfortunately, this will be the last Synopsisize for a while. Oh, how I loved the crushing regularity with which Oliver Taylor made these. And now next week, we’re going to have to… Well, just wait and see     For more Synopsisizes, click here But for...

  Do you have a film that you want to see, but only have 3 minutes in which to see it? Well, let us know, and perhaps Oliver Taylor can Synopsisize it for you! Everyone wins! Apart from Oliver, who has to spend hours in front of has laptop painstakingly editing it all...

  Perhaps one of my favourite Synopsisizes yet, even if I do say so myself. For those who don’t know what these are, basically Oliver Taylor talks really quickly about a film without stopping for breath, whilst simultaneously attempting to be funny. God, he’s...
