On the face of it, Deadpool is just another entry in the long line of comic book movies. But maybe there’s more resting on the film than most others in the genre. Perhaps it could be the nudge that’s needed for a more adult selection of comic book movies to come…

Last Knights (2015) Review
Do you ever get the feeling that Ridley Scott has a few things to answer for? Don’t get me wrong, he’s made numerous films I’d list amongst my all time favourites, but for the re-popularisation of the swords and sandals genre alone (and its sibling, swords and sorcery) I think somebody should possibly be having a word…
Inside Out (2015) Review
Compartmentalisation of emotions, the loss of youth and the complex inner workings of the mind. No, it’s not the hard hitting drama it reads as on paper. It’s just another day in the office for Pixar Animation Studios. They sure do know how to toy with our emotions…

The fantastic folks over at Indiewire have been putting together their list of predictions for the upcoming 88th annual Academy Awards, and as always competition is fierce. This year in one category in particular we’ve had some truly stunning entries: Best Cinematography. From the sweeping desert landscapes of Mad Max: Fury Road, to the cold and…
Fantastic Four (2015) Review
What a great job Josh Trank did helming low-budget superhero flick Chronicle. Such a great job, in fact, that it makes his efforts with the Fantastic Four reboot all the more baffling. A few months out from its release there’s been plenty of time to dissect what’s gone wrong (read: everything), it’s taken its critical mauling and licked its…
