We’ve reached the final climb to the climax of VisionQuest – the Client (whose identity I think the show tipped with their dialogue this week – more on that in a minute) has decided not to kill Vision, should he come to them, Jocasta and Ultron have created their own unholy union* and unleashed the first […]
Nocturne Review
While watching the screeners for Nocturne, the upcoming psychological thriller series from AppleTV, I kept waiting to see when it would present the twist that would set it apart from every other story about a serial killer playing a cat and mouse game with a grizzled investigator. Unfortunately, that twist never materialized, and the series […]
Avatar: Seven Havens – Episodes 7 to 9 Review
Avatar: Seven Havens has reached its third block of episodes, and it’s the best so far by expanding the plot as Ellora’s tensions come to a head. Pavi and Nisha’s objectives start to diverge. Nisha wants to knuckle down with training and prove she is a worthy Avatar, whilst Pavi wants to continue the search […]
Elsinore Review
There’s nothing all that suspenseful about the action within Elsinore. That’s the way of things when you’re watching a biopic that turns on a singular event: actor Ian Charleson (Andrew Scott) is determined to portray Hamlet on the stage of the National Theatre before he dies of AIDS. It really happened, it was – by all […]
Klara and the Sun Review
Taika Waititi takes on the job of adapting Kazuo Ishiguro’s dark sci-fi novel Klara and the Sun and turns it into a whimsical fable. In the future, androids have been developed and sold as artificial friends for wealthy teenagers. One of these artificial friends is Klara (Jenna Ortega), an old B1 model. Klara gets her […]
The Liberation Review
The Liberation is a frustrating film. It had a series of truly spectacular performances to anchor the complex themes of the story – a story that is based on writer-director Guy Nattiv’s own grandmother’s life story. But it also has an incredibly unsatisfying ending – not unsatisfying in what happens in the film’s final fifteen […]
Street Fighter (2026) Review
The 2026 version of Street Fighter is the third attempt at starting a live-action Street Fighter film series. This attempt is a silly, campy adaptation of the popular video game series. In 1993, M. Bison (David Dastmalchian) organises a second Street Fighter tournament so he can harvest the power of the winner. His main target […]
Clayface Review
Clayface is the third film in the DCU and the most unexpected film so far due to it being an origins story about a Batman villain. Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) is a rising star in Coast City, an actor who had worked his way out of Gotham City’s roughest district. His acting career reaches […]
VisionQuest – Reboot/Malware Review
Oh Vision. Manipulated into giving up the controls to Ultron with a simple appeal to your burgeoning emotional attachment to Thomas. I expected more of you. And yet, that might just be the surest sign that White Vision is slowly but surely morphing into something much closer to The Vision – helped along with malicious […]
The Debut Review
Something happened at my screening of The Debut that has never happened at a film I’ve been at before. Following an absolute stunner of a speech from Julianne Moore’s Mona Friedman (a sequence that all but assures Moore is going to get a nomination for the Best Actress Oscar this year, if not start the race […]
