Review: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Sam S-P

JUMANJ was one of those 90s films. At the risk of being pilloried, I’m going to say it: it wasn’t great. It hasn’t aged well either, but there was definitely something about it, something that means a lot of people … Continue reading →

Passing Thoughts: Spider-Physics and a Case of Mistaken Identity

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Sam S-P

I have this physicist friend and the other day we were talking in the pub about nuclear fusion, like you do. My mind went straight to the scene in SPIDER-MAN 2 where Doc Ock attempts such an experiment to create … Continue reading →

Review: Ghostbusters (2016)

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Sam S-P

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 →

Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Posted on March 27, 2016 by Sam S-P

It’s been quite a journey to this one. I’m not just talking about the long wait, delays and steady build of hype throughout the production of BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, which have all been considerable, but also note … Continue reading →

Spidey Slings Home…Sort-of

Posted on February 10, 2015 by Sam S-P

The last few hours have had the internet in a frenzy. It was announced earlier that at long last, Sony has brokered a deal with Marvel/Disney to allow Spider-Man and associated characters to appear as part of the Marvel Cinematic … Continue reading →

Review: Lucy (2014)

Posted on February 6, 2015 by Sam S-P

Well, I guess I should be grateful that it was all in focus and the film itself was mercifully short. Aside from that, LUCY, Luc Besson’s latest attempt to return to his 1990s form fails in spectacular fashion. Lucy (Scarlett … Continue reading →

Looking Back and Looking Forward: 2014

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Sam S-P

Well, it’s been an interesting year on the Big Screen. Last year, I said that 2014 would be the cinematic pits. I’ll admit that I wasn’t entirely correct. Some of the films I dreaded did indeed turn out a bit … Continue reading →

A Few Thoughts More: The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Sam S-P

I hated THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 when I saw it earlier this year. I wasn’t planning on watching it again, but sometimes a movie you detest just turns up in your house and you’re strangely compelled to put them on. … Continue reading →

Review: RoboCop (2014)

Posted on June 15, 2014 by Sam S-P

Is it bad to be annoyed that I don’t hate José Padilha‘s ROBOCOP remake quite as much as I expected to? Don’t get me wrong, it’s bad, but not THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 bad. In an updated take on the dystopian … Continue reading →
