Over the last ten years the gloriously-named Rondo Hatton awards have established themselves as the most prestigious in the world of Horror. So we’re delighted that Jovanka Vuckovic’s splendid ZOMBIES! An Illustrated History of the Undead has been nominated for Book of the Year! [...]
It was exciting to see the BAFTA awards the other night and to realise that no fewer than three of the winners have given us – which means you – the benefit of their wisdom, in recent months. Dante Ferretti, long-time Scorsese collaborator, won [...]
Some of the most exciting developments in cameras and smartphones have taken place in the world of Android; the first eight megapixel cameras, amazing screens like the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, and features like face detection and sweep-panorama all appeared [...]
