The loveable ginger cat Garfield makes his third appearance in a theatrical film. This reboot sees Garfield move back into the field of animation and sees an all-star voice cast in a heist adventure. As a kitten Garfield (Chris Pratt) was abandoned by his father, Vic (Samuel L. Jackson). Luckily he adopted Jon Arbuckle (Nicholas […]

Argylle Review
Argylle sees Matthew Vaughn move away from the Kingsman series to start another potential spy franchise. This time he’s armed with an ensemble cast and a reported $200 million budget. Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard) is the author of the Argylle series, a popular series of spy novels. She’s an unassuming woman who lives alone with her cat, […]
The Marvels Review
The Marvels sees the return of Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel. This time she teams up with a couple of stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Disney+ Shows. In the deepest depth of space, the leader of the Kree, Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton) finds an ancient bangle. This discovery leads to a chain of events that results […]
Secret Invasion – Home Review
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 […]
Secret Invasion – Harvest Review
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 […]
Secret Invasion – Beloved Review
“Beloved” made clear two glaring issues with Secret Invasion that its writers (and Marvel) appear perfectly content to simply ignore. First, the narrative structure of the series is a complete mess. In order to have a cliffhanger last week, the writers were keen to ignore a key plot point (and a really cool, important one!) […]
Secret Invasion – Betrayed Review
Sigh. G’iah, we hardly knew ya. (Seriously, thanks to an utter lack of character development and a narrative that has been so concerned with showing us various plots to get humans to kill off each other that are so thinly developed that we only hear about them moments before their execution so we’re half in […]
Secret Invasion – Past and Present Review
Well, two episodes into Secret Invasion and it appears that only Olivia Colman is having any fun with the rather crazy and outlandish story we’re in the middle of. Her unrestrained glee at getting to torture the captured Skrull operative certainly brought some energy to a rather uninspired episode of television. If the series can’t […]
Secret Invasion – Resurrection Review
I have very high hopes for Secret Invasion, the latest entry in the now sprawling MCU – a series that has had far more misses than hits in the last couple of years. Billed as an espionage series and starring a murderer’s row of incredible actors – Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick […]
Britflix – Kingsman: The Secret Service
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 […]
