It’s been a few days since I first saw Avengers: Endgame, and at some point in the not-too-distant future I want to watch it again. Why? Well, for a start it’s a very, very good movie and I want to live through it all again now that I know where it’s going and how it […]

Avengers: Endgame – Spoiler Free Review & Essential Pre-Viewing Viewing
For the second time in my life, yesterday I made the crazy decision to sit in a cinema at midnight and watch a brand-new film. The previous film I did that for was Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and I have to say that this viewing experience was very different to that one. It was […]
Why Disney’s Streaming Service Could Become the Netflix Killer
We’ve all heard a lot about the streaming service market just recently. Big players like Amazon and Netflix have thrown a lot of money into producing more and more content exclusively for these services, and plenty more want a piece of the action. In the UK, the BBC and ITV recently announced they were planning […]
Why Kylo Ren May Have Saved Star Wars
There’s a lot of people saying that The Last Jedi (which I adored, FYI) was “not what they expected”, and there seems to be a lot of fans online who are disappointed in it, but those are subjects for other blogs at other times. Today, I’d like to talk with any and all who’ve seen […]
Justice League: First Thoughts
It gives me very little pleasure to report that this is not the best film of 2017. That said, it’s also not the worst either. It’s also an improvement on Batman vs. Superman, which is nice to be able to say. The story holds up better than that film, and there are no unresolved subplots […]
The Snowman: The Verdict
“Perhaps not the greatest thriller of all time, but a highly entertaining film with some decent performances that I’d likely watch a sequel to” As normal, I’m beginning with a TL;DR version of this review, which summaries my thoughts as above. I’m aware that the critical reviews of this film are less than favourable, and […]
Blade Runner 2049: The Verdict
“Not the worst film in the world, but a little short of being great” There was a lot of excitement when Blade Runner 2049 was announced. Having never seen the original by that point I was somewhat excited, given how much I’d heard about the original being amazing. Even after seeing the original and being […]
Blade Runner: The Verdict
“Did she just fall in love with her rapist?” For years whenever the subject of Blade Runner has come up people were shocked by the idea that I’d never seen it. With the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, out now I can confirm I’ve now seen the original twice and… I don’t get why people were […]
mother!: The Verdict
“Simultaneously one of the weirdest films I’ve ever seen, while also being possibly one of the best films I’ve seen in 2017…” Once again, I’ll begin with a TL;DR version of the review, and that about sums up my thoughts for “mother!”. It is genuinely impossible to categorize this film in the traditional sense. When […]
American Assassin: The Verdict
“When it comes to action/adventure films, this one ticks every box” Continuing with a TL;DR version of my review, just so you know what you’re getting into. And yes, when it comes to action/adventure films, this one does tick every box for a good film. From the moment I saw the trailers this was on […]
