Not content with dropping a major Star Wars scoop earlier today, Latino Review has now turned its attention to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to report that Jason Momoa has entered talks with Marvel Studios about joining the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy in the role of Drax the Destroyer. Momoa tested for the role […]

As part of the summer blockbuster preview in the latest issue of Total Film (via CBM), Henry Cavill has briefly spoken about donning the cape as Superman in Zack Snyder’s hotly anticipated reboot Man of Steel, as well as touching upon Warner Bros. planned DC team-up Justice League. “This is not a movie about Zack […]
The Walking Dead Season 3 – Episode 9 Review
Piers McCarthy reviews the ninth episode of The Walking Dead season 3… Much to some readers’ consternation, I felt the midseason finale of The Walking Dead’s third season wasn’t all that wonderful. It was still energetic, visceral and enjoyable (bettering the majority of contemporary television) but was noticeably poorer than the 7 episodes that had […]
Harrison Ford reportedly returning as Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode VII
Latino Review has just dropped some pretty big Star Wars news: Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Han Solo in J.J. Abrams’ upcoming continuation of the franchise. This is huge news, and one I’m sure many fans will have been hoping to hear, including myself. It felt essential to me that Star Wars: Episode […]
The Oscar for most criminally ignored performances by the Academy – Actress Nominations
Tom Jolliffe on the female acting performances criminally overlooked by the Academy for Oscar recognition… It’s often said that the men in the acting world, particularly Hollywood, have monopolised the best roles. Most biopics are about great (or heinous) men from history. We see more heroes than we see heroines and so on. Some actresses […]
Sons of Anarchy Season 5 – Episode 2 Review
Paul Risker reviews the second episode of Sons of Anarchy season 5… Entrenchment, networking and uncertainty… Three words most apt to describe the latest episode of Sons of Anarchy. Void of the poetic motion that graced the opening of episode one, ‘Authority Vested’ the second episode of the fifth season of Sons of Anarchy feels […]
Comic Book Review – Batman #17
Martin Deer reviews the latest issue of Batman, featuring the conclusion of Death of the Family… “Death of the Family comes to a close as The Joker’s plan reaches its climax.“ My own personal synopsis would include the words “huge” and “let down” prior to ‘climax’. I’ve been a big fan of this run by […]
The Following – Episode 4 Review
Matt Smith reviews the latest episode of The Following… So, another week, another episode. It’s not getting old, but it feels kind of routine now (especially as I’ve noticed I begin most reviews of The Following with ‘So…’). I can’t remember my life before Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy were in it, butting heads as […]
