There’s a whole lot of nothing special out this week. Besides for the cold-war drama Bridge of Spies, everything else scores less than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ugh, Star Wars has never seemed so far away. Bridge of Spies Tom Hanks stars as the American attorney tasked with negotiating the release of a U-2 spy plane pilot who was shot …

While I think the Noomi Rapace starring original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was a bit more visceral, I was rather impressed with David Fincher’s 2011 English language remake starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig (the fact that I’m a gigantic Fincher fanboy obviously had nothing to do with this totally unbiased opinion… Obviously). But while the film was …

I was not a fan of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate it; but that would probably have been a more favourable response because then I would have felt something instead of the overwhelming meh-ness I actually left the cinema with.

One of the best espionage dramas to come out of Britain in the last few years is the the spy show Spooks. The series focused on a group of MI-5 officers and ran for 10 seasons culminating with 6 million viewers tuning in for the finale back in 2011.

Every time I see something for 13 Hours, I have to remind myself that this is a Michael Bay movie. Sure the Baysplosion Master is well known for his almost pornographic love of the US military in his movies, but those slow-mo shots of choppers in front of sunsets are usually either preceded or followed by exploding robots or vapid …

The epic tale of boy wizard Harry Potter may be over (well at least on the big screen), but that doesn’t mean that we need to say goodbye entirely to the magical world created by author JK Rowling. At least not if Warner Bros’ accountants have anything to say about it. The studio is revitalizing their once top selling franchise …

Every single time I switch on my Kindle, there’s an unread book there that glares at me accusingly for not having read it yet despite owning it for ages. But don’t worry Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, I will read you one day. And hopefully that day is before the planned TV series adaptation of Gaiman’s beloved fantasy epic actually arrives …
