Henry Bevan on Sky High… In the week since its release Spider-Man: Homecoming has created a lot of web traffic. People have posted countless thought pieces on the wall-crawler with many focusing on how it attempts to be Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with spandex. While I think the film admirably fails to transcend the superhero genre (partly because […]
Directorial Vision vs Crowd Pleasing
Tom Jolliffe on directorial vision vs crowd pleasing… We’ve all done it in our lives. The crowd leans a certain way and we adhere to that. Maybe it was in school. Oasis vs Blur (yes, I’m old). The consensus is Oasis, so you put Oasis in your tape deck to please everyone. Secretly though you’re […]
Game of Thrones Fact Files: Sansa Stark
Tony Black counts down to Game of Thrones season 7… Of the two Stark girls to have their family torn apart in Game of Thrones, Lady Sansa has arguably suffered the least, but unlike her sister Arya’s exhausting, rough and ready journey across Westeros and beyond, Sansa’s has been traumatising in a different way.

Game of Thrones Fact Files: Cersei Lannister
Tony Black counts down to season 7 of Game of Thrones… There’s an argument that for all the tragedy floating around the world of Game of Thrones, the path Cersei Lannister has walked has them all beat.

Critical Thinking: Don’t Believe the Hype
Anghus Houvouras on hype and hyperbole… Hype is something every film writer constantly struggles with. The perpetual entertainment news cycle gives film fans so much to chew on. There’s a formulaic cycle of hype that happens with every new movie that strokes the cockles of film fans. Some movies come with preordained hype. A new […]
Hopefully the Han Solo debacle will teach Disney not to tread on sacred ground
Samuel Brace on the Han Solo saga and Disney’s handling of the Star Wars franchise… There were more than a few that let out cries of anguish upon hearing the direction of the next Star Wars anthology movie. The fact that we would be revisiting such a famous and iconic character as Han Solo seemed like […]
Binge-Watching the Spider-Man Movie Series
Henry Bevan binge-watches the Spider-Man movie series… Inspired by our viewing of Spider-Man: Homecoming, a film this website called “the best Spider-Man movie to date” and “another hit for the carefully crafted MCU”, a mate and I decided we should binge watch the previous five movies. While I’m personally conflicted about my favourite superhero’s latest […]
Game of Thrones Fact Files: Daenerys Targaryen
Tony Black counts down to season 7 of Game of Thrones… Khaleesi. Mother of Dragons. Breaker of Chains. Queen of the Andals and the First Men. Rightful Heir to the Seven Kingdoms.
