Review: Legend (2015)

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Sam S-P

The first time we see Ron Kray, he’s talking animatedly about taking another man’s sausage. Over the two uneasy hours we spend with him he progresses to claiming to be able to see the future, and doesn’t seem to be … Continue reading →

Series Retrospective: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Posted on September 1, 2014 by Sam S-P

Ten films, six years, and two distinct phases later and Marvel are sitting pretty as kings of the proverbial movie castle. Try and cast yourself back to before Tony Stark strapped on his first scrappy suit of armour to escape … Continue reading →

Review: Doctor Who: Deep Breath (2014)

Posted on August 26, 2014 by Sam S-P

On Christmas Day 2013, Matt Smith regenerated into a very different actor. Arguably no more drastic a change personality-wise than it was from Christopher Eccleston to David Tennant two regenerations ago, but certainly a world apart from youngish David Tennant … Continue reading →

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Posted on August 5, 2014 by Sam S-P

It’s good! Marvel’s biggest risk to date (and we really mean that this time) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is not only a pleasantly shiny space adventure film with laughs, loveable anti-heroes and fireworks aplenty, but it’s also the most outright … Continue reading →

Time of the Timelord

Posted on November 23, 2013 by Sam S-P

I know this is a film blog, but I couldn’t resist marking this occasion. Today’s the day (as if you’d managed to miss it), the 50th anniversary of the debut of DOCTOR WHO. I haven’t always been a diehard fan … Continue reading →

Review: Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Posted on November 3, 2013 by Sam S-P

As well as all involved have tried to hide it, THOR: THE DARK WORLD feels more than a little fractured. It looks fantastic, and the key players bring their A-game, but the plot veers and lurches alarmingly. Following the events of THE … Continue reading →

Posted on October 26, 2013 by Sam S-P

This article was originally published on Subtitled Online May 2013 If there’s a single thing filmmakers working in Britain and Ireland do well it’s black comedy. Perhaps you can blame the awful weather – you have to find brightness in … Continue reading →
