Review – Undefeated
11 Oct
It’s easy to get cynical in a world that’s full of selfish behaviour. People are worshipped in society for achieving nothing in their lives besides a crusade to satisfy their ego with unwarranted fame. ‘Undefeated’ is a reminder that there are good people doing amazing things in their community and it’s an emotional and inspirational experience.

Trailer for doco ‘Comic-Con IV: A Fan’s Hope’
23 Feb
For so long we have dreamed of attending Comic-Con in San Diego. We were meant to go this year but, unfortunately, the Australian Tax man decided to take all the money we had saved to buy ceramic busts of Batman and movie quality Indiana Jones replica whips.
Documentarian Morgan Spurlock attended Comic-Con in 2010 and collaborated with Stan Lee and Joss Whedon to put together the documentary ‘Comic-Con IV: A Fans Hope’.
A trailer for the film has been released and unlike most of Spurlock’s films, he is totally absent from the trailer and possibly the film. The focus is on the fans and the famous faces that champion the great event.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer.
