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 […]
Welcome to the year of the romcom! Much has been made of the genre’s disappearance from the theatrical experience. True, they still flood streaming services, with Netflix distributing the best of recent years in Richard Linklater’s Hit Man. But with the exception of Anyone But You, few have made any noise either at the box […]
It has been a long seven-year wait for Paddington’s cinematic return. The third film in the Paddington series sees the lovable bear return to his ancestral home for a big family adventure. Paddington (Ben Whishaw) has become a British citizen. He gets the opportunity to use his British passport when The Reverend Mother of the Home […]
The first portion of this review will contain some general thoughts about season three of The Bear. The second portion will have spoiler-filled, specific thoughts on what worked and what didn’t about this season. But fear not! There will be a clear delineation between the two sections, just in case you haven’t finished your binge […]

Willy Wonka is probably Roald Dahl’s most recognisable character, appearing in two novels, two adaptations of Charlie of the Chocolate Factory, and the Gene Wilder version being lovingly parodied in numerous American shows. The team behind the Paddington Movies aims to make a prequel about Willy Wonka and how he became the famous chocolatier. Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) arrives in […]
So, if the radiation at the Skrull compound was so intense that Gravik expected Fury to be a shaking mess even with his iodide pills, just how were all those captured humans able to survive hooked up to the machines for that long? Does pumping them full of iodide keep them alive? Or would there […]
So help me if Sonya Falsworth turns out the be a Skrull at the last minute in next week’s Secret Invasion finale (although I certainly wouldn’t be shocked with the way the series has kept her character and her motivations shrouded in some secrecy). But, at this stage of the game, with one episode remaining […]
