I have to admit, what initially drew me in to watch Code of Silence, the new British drama series, was its basic conceit. Police canteen worker Alison is asked to help out on an investigation into a potential robbery of a high-profile necklace after it becomes clear that the police will not be able to […]

Strange New Worlds – Wedding Bell Blues Review
Everything can benefit from having Rhys Darby. And boy, did this outing from Strange New Worlds absolutely soar with his addition to the proceedings as Trelane, a trickster character from The Original Series that we now know – thanks to a delightful voice over appearance from John de Lancie – is officially a part of […]
Strange New Worlds – Hegemony Part Two Review
When you end a season on a cliffhanger and then wait so long to release the next season that the season after that one starts production, it becomes hard to hide whether or not certain characters make it through the resolution of said cliffhanger alive and mostly well. And when you release a trailer that […]
40 Acres Review
It’s dizzying how quickly Danielle Deadwyler burst into the limelight. Her screen debut came over a decade ago, after which she only occasionally worked but was often hailed as the highlight when she did. Her supporting role in The Harder They Fall in 2021 finally made general audiences take notice, and 2022’s Till earned her […]
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Three Review
After two years in stasis, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back for its third season. And, just to give you a taste of how long it’s been off the air, in that time the series has started filming its fourth season (several months ago, in fact) and been renewed for a fifth – and […]

Superman (2025) is arguably the most anticipated film of the year, with James Gunn rebooting one of the most iconic superheroes and starting a new DC Cinematic Universe. Three years ago, Superman (David Corenswet), revealed himself to the public and became the most popular hero in the world. Superman controversially stops a war between the […]
Heads of State Review
An attack on Air Force One forces the UK Prime Minister (Idris Elba) and US President/Hollywood action hero (John Cena) to make their own way to a NATO summit in Italy. Along the way the two heads of state – who don’t get along – will have to battle hostile locals and an army of […]
In Defence of Man of Steel
Man of Steel is arguably one of the most divisive superhero films, mustering a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.1 score on IMDB. It acted as the start of the DCEU, aiming to be a darker counterweight to the MCU, sparking furious debate for years. My controversial opinion is that Man of Steel […]
Jurassic World Rebirth Review
After a three-year break, the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise has rebirthed itself with a soft reboot, with old and new franchise DNA for a standalone adventure. The dinosaurs are dying out, unable to survive in a modern climate. The few that are alive survive on small islands across the equator, and they have been made […]
