Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Supergirl… Aside from the double-edged sword which is this week’s tagline. Supergirl manages to sneak in something far deeper than Melissa Benoist’s husband Blake Jenner. Not that his contribution fails to bring substance to the episode or Cat Grant’s adopted son Adam Foster. To be honest I had […]

The X-Files Season 10 Episode 1 Review – ‘My Struggle’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of The X-Files season 10… Just before we get into this I should make one thing clear. For me The X-Files was never a big deal. Sure it was on the cultural radar and Chris Carter is a name I recognised post 1994. But in terms of drawing me […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Childish Things’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Supergirl… A few things have caused me to cast aside trivial preoccupations. The double departure of David Bowie and Alan Rickman has knocked me for six. Whilst the red band trailer for Deadpool and Hard R rated lip synch rendition of ‘Pony’ by one Jenna Dewan Tatum, has […]

Book Review – 13 Minutes by Sarah Pinborough
Michelle Herbert reviews 13 Minutes by Sarah Pinborough… 13 Minutes, the new novel by Sarah Pinborough, will probably be classed as a YA novel, due to the fact that the main protagonists are teenagers. Although that doesn’t mean that the contents of the novel are childish, instead I would say this is a book for […]
The Overlooked and Under-Appreciated – Demolition Man
Tom Jolliffe kicks off a new series looking at the overlooked and under-appreciated by revisiting the 1993 action classic Demolition Man… I found myself thinking recently about films that have been repressed to the dark recesses of forgotten cinema. The sort of films where you find yourself snapping a finger and exclaiming “oh yeah…I remember […]
