THIS POST IS PURELY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN BATMAN V SUPERMAN AND WILL BE FILLED WITH SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. SCROLL DOWN PAST THE POSTER BELOW AT YOUR OWN PERIL. I’ve now seen Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice twice already, and I cannot recall when last multiple viewings of a movie has left me this conflicted. Oh wait, I can! It …
Marvel officially closed off their Phase 2 this weekend past with the release of Ant-Man, a movie that may have had a troubled production but ended up being pretty great. It’s a substantial change of pace for Marvel, eschewing the crazy big cosmos-shaking ramifications that has underpinned all their recent fare for a story that’s much smaller in scope (and …
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s been promising to be back since 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement day, and now, more than two decades later, he’s finally done it. Well sort of. Terminator Genisys may suffer from some bland casting (seriously, Hollywood, just stop with this Jai Courtney experiment!), a coupled forced moments of nostalgia and one or two dodgy action beats, but it also …

And I was one of them, checking it out for the second time on IMAX and enjoying it even more than the first time as a great big thrill ride.

While it does boast Colin Firth – COLIN FIRTH!! – in one …
It’s pretty clear who the winner at this weekend’s box office was, as Fifty Shades of Grey gagged and whipped all their competition on the way to a gigantic opening weekend. With EL James’ Twilight fan-fiction turned novel trilogy being as popular as it is, that kind of runaway success was always likely for a movie adaptation. But the big question is, is the …
The big release of this weekend past was undoubtedly acclaimed director Chris Nolan’s latest offering Interstellar. Despite some third act clumsiness where things almost go full M. Night Shymalan (you never go full Shyamalan!), I really, really enjoyed the film for its unrivalled ambition and mindblowingly big ideas. As a film it has it’s flaws (which we’ll discuss later), but …
