Posted on April 29, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Eleven years ago the Marvel Cinematic Universe was born when Nick Fury turned up at Tony Stark’s house to talk to him about the Avengers Initiative. It’s been a long road to this point, but much like the three-hour AVENGERS: … Continue reading →

Review: Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Drew Goddard clearly loves genre storytelling, but in a sideways manner. His films aren’t really spoofs or pastiches, they’re twists and re-jigs. The essential elements that make a genre recognisable are all there, but arranged in a pattern you’ve never … Continue reading →

Review: Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Posted on May 2, 2018 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

What a mind-boggling juggling act this is. So many characters, powers, locations, histories and they all have to be brought together in a coherent, entertaining and emotionally satisfying way after ten years worth of setup. An lo and behold, the … Continue reading →

This does put a smile on my face…

5 Years On: The Avengers (2012)

Posted on April 26, 2017 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Review: Ghostbusters (2016)

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

I think I might have mentioned this before, but I’ve never really been that into GHOSTBUSTERS. Paul Feig’s new take has nods to the original and cameos, but otherwise strikes out on its own and largely it’s a successful venture. … Continue reading →

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

The following contains spoilers for AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. I’ve seen Marvel’s second super-team-up a few times now, and my initial reaction (it’s alright, I guess…) remains much the same. Let’s get into a few more things I picked up … Continue reading →
