  • The King’s Man: Is a WW1 Prequel the Right Move for the Kingsman Series?

    10/09/2019
    When it was released in 2014, the first Kingsman film was a breath of fresh air. I grew up on the Bond films of old, where Roger Moore would utter some contrived quip before saving the world, using a gadget to dispatch the megalomaniacal villain, and so I embraced...

  • Why (and How) James Bond Should Die in No Time To Die

    27/08/2019
    Just last week, a couple of months into production, the title of the latest entry in the long-running James Bond franchise was revealed. No longer do we have to refer to it as ‘Bond 25’ or the rumoured title ‘Shatterhand’, but instead we now know that it is officially...

  • Why Batman Returns is a Great Movie but a Bad Batman Movie

    13/08/2019
    On the third of June earlier this year, Warner Bros released the Burton/Schumacher series of Batman films on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray, and, as an avid fan of this growing home entertainment format, I snatched them up. Not all of them of course, I’m not a crazy person. I bought...

  • Ranking Every MCU Movie (Including Spider-Man: Far From Home)

    16/07/2019
    With the release of Avengers: Endgame, the first saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – ‘The Infinity Saga’ – was completed. But that ending certainly didn’t last long with Spider-Man: Far From Home hitting the big screen just two months later. Far From Home closes out the MCU’s third phase...

  • Raising the Dead(wood)

    02/07/2019
    First of all, I apologise for the terrible title. I just couldn’t help myself. But more importantly, Deadwood’s back! 13 years after the HBO series came to an abrupt end after a three-season run, Deadwood returns as a made-for-TV movie, written by David Milch, which offers our final glimpse...

  • Ranking Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie (Including Avengers Endgame)

    07/05/2019
    With the recent release of Avengers: Endgame, the first saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – ‘The Infinity Saga’ – is complete. 22 films over 11 years is an unprecedented feat, even more so when you consider not one of them is bad. There are certainly bad moments and...

  • What Does Endgame Set Up For The Future of the MCU?

    30/04/2019
    This article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. Duh. Avengers: Endgame marks the end of the MCU’s ‘Infinity Saga’, acting as a colossal conclusion to this 22-film epic narrative. The film’s greatest success is just how satisfying a conclusion it is, ending character arcs a decade in the making and...

  • Why Pierce Brosnan Should Return as James Bond for One More Film

    12/03/2019
    I desperately want to see an old James Bond. Not Roger Moore in A View to a Kill or Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again, where they ignored the fact that these men were far too old for what the film required of them, but rather a Bond...

  • My Hopes For The Next James Bond Film

    26/02/2019
    It’s crazy to think that when the 25th James Bond film premieres early next year, it’ll have been almost 5 years since the previous entry Spectre hit cinemas. That’s a year longer than the break between Die Another Day and the modern reboot Casino Royale. Looking back, it’s hard...
