A Few Thoughts More: Endgame

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

The following piece contains major spoilers for AVENGERS: ENDGAME. Alright, are we all caught up? OK then. Endgame is one of those particularly difficult movies to wax lyrical about (and I intend to) without talking about the specific things you … Continue reading →

Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019)

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 →

Series Retrospective: Bourne

Posted on January 14, 2017 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

In the latest look back at a long-running series, I’ve decided to look at everyone’s favourite amnesiac assassin, Jason Bourne. Robert Ludlum’s antidote to Bond has been knocking around for a while, and has not let his author’s passing and … Continue reading →

Review: Arrival (2016)

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

ARRIVAL is nothing like the way it was marketed (though you can’t blame the marketing guys for trying to get people through the door by making it out to be a disaster movie). Denis Villeneuve’s latest is a razor-sharp conceptual … Continue reading →

“Enough about me, let’s talk about me…”: When Actors Play Themselves (Sort-of)

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

What’s an actor to do when your star persona becomes a joke? You embrace it of course, and let the audience know that you’re in on the gag. It can be incredibly self-indulgent if mishandled, but if pitched just right … Continue reading →

Review: Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)

Posted on August 16, 2015 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

The latest outing for Ethan Hunt and the IMF is the most ambitious and technically accomplished to date. There really is very little to ruin your enjoyment of ROGUE NATION overall, and Christopher McQuarrie equips himself admirably as the latest … Continue reading →

Review: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Posted on April 27, 2015 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

This might be staying the obvious, but the problem with setting the bar ever higher is that each time it’s a harder task to clear it. Marvel might well have now reached that stage. The studio has become synonymous with … Continue reading →

Review: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

Posted on November 16, 2013 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS is a hoot. It begins like a much swearier and more violent Hammer horror film, and becomes an excessive tribute to EVIL DEAD-era Sam Raimi by the end. As a bonus the whole cast look like they’re … Continue reading →
