‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ brings back the classic arcade game
When the film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim was released in 2010, it was like an explosion of colour and two-tone jingles.

In order to date her, Scott has to defeat the League of Evil Exes – Ramona’s exes. All seven of them. More

As such, The World’s End is as peerless as a mainstream film gets. More
