I went to see Batman: The Killing Joke having read the original graphic novel some years before, but not with it fresh in my mind and having read some SDCC-born concern over the treatment of Batgirl. I left wondering why we had two separate movies held together by a narrator. The first half has a […]

On one hand we’ve powerful and capable female characters, part of the Squad based on their abilities the same as the men but on the other hand some fans have concerns about the backstory variants and […]
They look like us! A review of the live action Parasyte movie
I rather liked the Parasyte anime, especially the start of the series when we were discovering all about the alien invasion and everything was going so badly wrong. I thought the ending was a bit luke warm but since the live action adaption of the series is split into two I knew I wouldn’t have […]
The second office Warcraft trailer channels the MMO
Here’s a challenge – name a really good movie that started life as a computer game? I think the best game to movie story I know is Final Fantasy and even that’s a bit of a cheat. Warcraft is due out in June in the States and Duncan Jones’ movie might be the first one […]
The Doctor Strange trailer is all about the origins
Need a Doctor Strange origin story? This, the first, trailer for the movie pretty much gives that too you. I don’t know about you but I find myself looking forward to Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Baron Mordo as much as I do Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange. Interesting that Marvel are calling this trailer a ‘teaser’. It’s two minutes […]

New TV spot puts Orcs vs Humans in Warcraft
Directed by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) Warcraft looks like it might be a rare thing. It might be a movie of a computer game that actually works. Not only that; a fantasy computer game. Let’s not jinx it, though. This is the second TV spot for the movie which is due out in the […]
Daniel Radcliffe as a magical thief in the Now You Can See Me 2 trailer
I rather liked Now You Can See Me. I went to watch it with no expectations but it worked really well. It was smartly written and different enough to be interesting. As much as I liked the original I didn’t expect there to be a sequel. There is and they’ve gone for a quirly, probably […]
X-Men: Apocalypse official trailer
We’ve not been kept wanting for sneak peaks at Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse and, to be honest, I thought we’d pretty much finished with the full length official trailer releases. I was wrong. The latest, official and two-and-half minutes fat, really spells out what’s going on. The god-like Apocalypse is on the way and the […]
