Once again, Netflix have teamed up with Marvel to deliver another stellar series.
Following the success of Daredevil last year, Netflix are back with a new take on Marvel’s Jessica Jones. Krysten Ritter, of Breaking Bad fame, plays our heroine who possesses superhuman strength. Continue reading “Marvel’s Jessica Jones – the latest epic Netflix series”
If you listened to Episode 39 you will know that I have recently watched the 2014 Oscar winning film Selma. Yes, ok, I know it was released over a year ago, but well I’m a very busy gent! You know the score, things to do, people to see and all that. Anyway, Selma is a biodrama based on Martin Luther King’s campaign to gain equal voting rights for all American citizens by organising a march from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama 1965.

The same thing is said at the beginning of every year, but really, 2016 is going to be a huge year for film. There’s Deadpool, Captain America: Civil War, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Creed, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Suicide Squad, and yes, even Zoolander 2.
But there’s one film that really stands out for me, and I wait in nervous anticipation for its release this Summer, Ghostbusters. Continue reading “Ghostbusters – Will They Deliver?”
Set in New York, 70 years before the story of Harry Potter begins, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has divided the opinions of many, even 10 months before its release, and it’s not hard to see why. Continue reading “Unnecessary? Fantastic? Or Both? The Wizarding World’s Latest Addition”
So, as I’m sure you’re aware, the theme song for the latest James Bond film, ‘Spectre’, was released today.
It is performed by 23 year old Londoner Sam Smith, who has already achieved incredible success in his short career.
In February this year, he walked away with four Grammy Awards, having been nominated for six. Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year for ‘Stay With Me’, and Best Pop Vocal Album. It is fair to say therefore, that when it was announced he would be releasing ‘Writing’s On The Wall’ as the 24th official Bond Theme, expectations were pretty high.

I love horror films. I never like to watch them alone, but I just love the whole feeling of not knowing what’s around the corner and the build up of suspense makes them an exhilarating watch. I know this is going to sound ridiculous and an obvious point to make, but when I watch a horror film it’s a completely different feeling to watching anything else. Good horror films especially, they just seem to stay with you for a long time after it’s over. Continue reading “M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘The Visit’ is impossible to predict”
I don’t know about you, but I always get intrigued when a new Biopic pops up and is released. There’s something about watching and learning about the life of someone, that quite often you don’t really know much about. Finding out who they were, what they did, and why they were so important in the world in which we live. That is definitely the case with the new 2015 Biographical Drama ‘Trumbo’. Continue reading “Trumbo: What’s it about?”
When I initially heard about the planned cinema remake of the classic British sitcom ‘Dad’s Army’, I was quite apprehensive really.
I can’t claim to be a big ‘Dad’s Army’ fan but I certainly remember enjoying the odd episodes when I was younger with my granddad, who was definitely and still is a big fan of the show. I suppose I’m just growing increasingly frustrated with the sudden growth in popularity of remakes, and not just any old remakes. We’re talking about hugely influential TV shows and films that I really think would be best left alone. Continue reading “Give Dad’s Army Remake A Chance”
As soon as the trailer for ‘Southpaw’ ended I said to myself, “I have to see this”.
Occasionally films do that, somehow they just captivate you from the moment you lay eyes on the trailer. There aren’t any concrete reasons as to why ‘Southpaw’ was one of those films for me. Continue reading “High Expectations For Southpaw”
