The Journey Of An Almost Complete ‘Marvel Phase One’ Marathon
Following the one movie marathon to rule them all, the entire Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series, back to back in one sitting, myself and my movie marathon companions decided upon a lighter course for our follow up cinematic binge.

It’s Business, It’s Business Time!
In 2009, HBO’s Flight of the Conchords came to an end after just two seasons, and the world suddenly became a darker place.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation Review
Featuring not only the best car chase sequence this side of Mad Max: Fury Road, but also the best practical effects and stunts since the aforementioned post-apocalyptic explosion-fest, Rogue Nation is yet another fine entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise. It’s not quite as effective as 2011’s series best Ghost Protocol, which gave Tom Cruise’s ageing vehicle…
