Ant-Man Review

What a shame it is that Edgar Wright never got to see Ant-Man through to the finish. Because Ant-Man and the Shaun of the Dead/ Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright – who had initially been lined up for directorial duties – would have been a match made in heaven.

Mr. Holmes Review

Sherlock Homes is back on the big screen, but this time around it’s a much different light that we’re seeing him in.

Orange is the New Black: Season Three Review

Hands up, who’s still rooting for Piper? Though she was certainly never the most likeable lead, she had her moments. She’s self-centred, selfish and ignorant to other people’s feelings yes, but she had a certain charm about it at the same time. She was, after all, our Piper.
