After two films of varying quality the Kingsman franchise returns for a prequel film that shows the origins of the spy organisation.

When The Great War erupts Oxford starts up a spy network and along with his son, Conrad (Harris Dickinson), they get involved in some […]
And the award for Most Cynical Movie of 2021 goes to… Don’t Look Up is the latest genre-defying dark comedy from the very specific mind of Writer/Director Adam McKay. The film paints a bleak portrait of humanity through its satire, reveling in the worst of our impulses with its tale of scientific denial, greed, and […]
Kingsman: The Secret Service was the film that Matthew Vaughn choose to do instead of X-Men: Days of Future Past. It was a decision that led to two great comic book films being created and started a kick-ass spy franchise. Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) is a young man who has had a tough life. His dad […]
It has been 18 years since The Matrix trilogy concluded. The franchise has been resurrected for a fourth entry despite the trilogy’s conclusive end. Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a successful video game designer in San Francisco. His most successful game is ‘The Matrix Trilogy.’ But Thomas suffers from visions and dreams from the games and his […]
If there’s one criticism that can be levied against the slate of Disney+ MCU television shows it’s that they have trouble with endings. WandaVision, which was one of the best MCU offerings to date, stumbled at the close. Loki packed a punch, but also needed to introduce a villain for a future MCU project, so […]
Another year has flown by, and while we still remain in the clutches of a pandemic, 2021 brought with it a host of new, complex, and interesting television shows – a change from 2020, where the industry started running out of new content by year’s end. As is always the case, my list started out […]
Spider-man is a character that needs little introduction. He is one of Marvel’s most famous characters and has been popular across many forms of media. His third film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is his biggest yet. Spider-man: No Way Home picks up where Spider-man: Far From Home left off with Spider-man’s identity being revealed to the world […]
Shakespeare movie adaptations are hard. Due to the contrast between the heightened nature of the classical dialogue and the more grounded language of film it’s incredibly difficult to get them right. There are truly faithful film versions of the plays, like those made by Kenneth Branagh and Laurence Olivier, but they can feel stuffy and […]
It appears that my worries following last week’s episode of Hawkeye (that the show wouldn’t be able to adequately wrap up its every increasing list of storylines by series’ end) were unfounded, as this penultimate episode managed to pare down the list of remaining arcs to a precious few heading into next week’s finale. And […]
When I started the season three finale of Succession, I was disappointed. After the series dropped two of the show’s biggest series bombshells in its penultimate episode – Kendall’s apparent drowning and Roman’s ill-sent dick pic – it appeared to dismiss them out of hand with two throwaway lines of dialogue. Kendall was physically fine, […]
