Henry Bevan on why we shouldn’t dismiss the Oscars as out of touch… Yesterday, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced the 89th Academy Award nominations.

Kurt Russell – A Retrospective
Kurt Russell is amazing. That’s all there really is to it, quite frankly. Hell, he’s so cool that when he gets cast in a Marvel superhero movie they decide he’s not going to play a superhero. He’s not even going to play a baddie. He’s going to play a planet! That’s right, a planet – in […]
Were Amy Adams, Clint Eastwood and Finding Dory snubbed by the Oscars?
Anghus Houvouras on whether Amy Adams, Clint Eastwood and Finding Dory were snubbed by the Oscars with today’s Academy Award nominations… No. They totally weren’t. None of them belonged on that list.

Is Cinema Really Dead If Scorsese Says It Is?
Henry Bevan on whether cinema is really dead… The ‘cinema is dead’ narrative has gone around for a while. It is normally spouted by some blogger who wants to get across their “hot take”. But, sometimes, someone of note joins in, and as 2016 came to a close, a director trifecta chimed in — Martin […]

How The Young Pope Has Set The Bar for 2017’s TV
Samuel Brace on The Young Pope… Every once and a while, a new show comes along that makes a statement, a statement not necessarily thematic – though this one does – but a statement regarding its quality, one that says, “look out world, you’re going to have to be better now”.
