Review: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

Posted on June 22, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

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 →

Review: Legion: Season 1 (2017)

Posted on April 5, 2017 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

LEGION is bonkers and brilliant. If you were ever disappointed that Chris Claremont’s more out-there comic book stories weren’t adapted into the movies, look no further than this TV show to correct that. Although they still don’t go to space, … Continue reading →

Review: Logan (2017)

Posted on March 6, 2017 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

The title LOGAN is a mission statement. Finally, after six (full) movies filled with claw-popping, re-treads and contradictory flashbacks we are asking who he is. We know he was born James Howlett, served in the military and as a mercenary, … Continue reading →

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

Posted on November 16, 2016 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

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 →

Halloween Series Retrospective: A Nightmare on Elm Street

Posted on October 31, 2016 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Time once again to look back on a long-running franchise in its entirety. There’s a lot of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET movies. Not quite as many as its slasher fellows HALLOWEEN and FRIDAY THE 13TH, but Freddy sure did refuse … Continue reading →

Review: X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Posted on May 22, 2016 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

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: Deadpool (2016)

Posted on February 17, 2016 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

DEADPOOL is exactly what it should be. It’s not big (by superhero standards) and it’s not clever but it’s lewd, violent and supremely self-aware, just like its titular scarlet-clad antihero. Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) makes a dishonest living as a … Continue reading →

Spidey Slings Home…Sort-of

Posted on February 10, 2015 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

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 →
