Review: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

Posted on June 22, 2019 by Sam S-P

I’ve already forgotten most of APOCALYPSE, though I do for some reason remember Michael Fassbender floating in the air, looking bored and not saying anything for half an hour. I also recall the apparent finality of the ending, with the … Continue reading →

Posted on October 8, 2017 by Sam S-P

A Few Thoughts More: X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Posted on November 16, 2016 by Sam S-P

I stand by my original review of X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, but now I’ve watched it again I have a few more thoughts. I don’t have any real issues with the film’s opening. The original Four Horsemen aren’t given much opportunity to … Continue reading →

Review: X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Posted on May 22, 2016 by Sam S-P

Well, as superhero movies go it’s certainly better than BATMAN V SUPERMAN. This time they try out a bit of self-aware humour when Xavier’s new students come out of seeing RETURN OF THE JEDI agreeing that “the third one is … Continue reading →

Review: X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

Posted on May 26, 2014 by Sam S-P

It was a tall order for Bryan Singer – who returned to helm the film franchise he fathered after a decade’s absence – to bring together two ensemble movie casts in an ambitious (and perhaps foolhardy) time travel story that … Continue reading →

A Few Passing Thoughts…

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Sam S-P

It’s been a pretty big week for the world of film. From further vague STAR WARS rumours (both for EPISODE VII and the long-mooted spin-offs) to a more concrete indication of Quentin Tarantino’s next film being another Western. SHERLOCK wrapped … Continue reading →
