Captain America: Civil War Trailer And Posters Arrive
Good Morning, I’ve just got off my night shift to some rather welcome news, to provide some context, let me present this short, imagined conversation. Cinemagoer 1 – “You know what everybody says about Marvel movies right?” Cinemagoer 2 – “Oh they’re pretty good, but the villains are always weak.” Marvel Studios Exec – “Hello! […]
Song of the Sea Review
Song of the Sea is the follow up to Tomm Moore’s previous animation The Mystery Of Kells, and it continues much of the traditions of that work, highly stylised, beautiful art, charming magical realism and pure, concentrated Irishness, to the extent that the credits are in gaelic. The story concerns Ben, a boy living in […]

Seemingly out of nowhere, with none of the build up and announcement of the third domestic trailer, come this, billed as The Force Awakens International Trailer #2, with titles all in japanese.

I’ve yet to see the film, and probably won’t bother, but the consensus amongst those who have seems to be that while […]
8 Sequels And Remakes I Actually Want, That Hollywood Will Not Give Me
You don’t have to look hard to find film fans complaining, at length, about the indomitable tide of unwanted sequels or remakes swamping our cinemas and taking funds away from creative or interesting ideas.
