Our Take On... Trolls World Tour
The first Trolls movie had a fair amount of cynicism around it. Coming in the wake of “The Lego Movie”, it initially ...

Our Take On... Watchmen - The Show
A sequel to a highly revered book made straight for TV was never going to be an easy sell. Even me, someone I would consider to be a big fan of “Watchmen” having first read the book about fifteen years ago, was sceptical about how it would go.

Our take on... Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker
While it may not be to the taste of all the fans of the series (what is?) “The Rise of Skywalker” is a satisfying end to a saga that started in 1977. It’s a non-stop, straight forward, old fashioned adventure film that has the feel of the original trilogy, rather than the complicated politics of the prequel trilogy...

Our take on... Game of Thrones, The Final Season.
When it was announced a couple of years ago that this eighth season of “Game of Thrones” was going to be its last, some fans expressed disappointment that the show was going to end, but were relieved at the fact that at least there would be a proper ending.

Our take on... Aladdin
While the film does feel a bit stagey at times, the musical numbers really pop with colour and excitement, the costumes look amazing and the live action sets are very impressive...

Our take on... John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum
The word “Parabellum” is translated from the Latin “para bellum” which means “prepare for war”, which is as much a warning for the character of John Wick as it is for the audience as this film is wall to wall action...

Our take on... Avengers: Endgame
So, here it is; the season finale of the first iteration of “The Avengers”. After this film, nothing in the MCU will be the same, and once you see it you’ll understand why...

Our take on... Shazam!
“Shazam!” works on a number of levels. Firstly, it’s very self aware in a similar way to “Deadpool” albeit more family friendly. It has the feel of an eighties films in that it doesn’t pander to kids and has a couple of scary moments and some occasionally salty language in the way “The Goonies” did...
