That’s right, with Skyfall releasing later this year I am opting to give you my thoughts on all of the Bond films! There’s twenty-two films, and when I started this challenge there were twenty-two weeks before Skyfall, sounds good to me! I grew up in the six year drought of Bond films, between the Dalton and Brosnen Eras,…
Saga Review: Batman
Possibly one of the most iconic, well received and respected “superheroes” created, Batman’s success is thanks to the relatively down-to-Earth nature of the character, a billionaire with a taste for vengeance, with training and a lot of gadgets.It is the villains that broaden Batman’s scope, and are always the most interesting and mesmerising elements in any story….

Trilogy Review: Men in Black
Men in Black You know, when this came out in 1997 I loved it, yet shamefully I have not watched it for years; this film is great! Based off a Marvel Comic (originally Malibu comics) Men in Black follows a New York cop who is enlisted into a secret organisation assembled to protect the public from…
Saga Review: Alien
The Alien franchise has to be one of my favourites, and I am always excited to have an excuse to rewatch them all, and what better excuse than a new film to be added to the series! Yes, I am off to see Ridley Scott’s Prometheus shortly, and so I have made a Saga Review of…
Review: Avengers Assemble (2D)
There are four films this year I am banking on being at the top of my list and Avengers Assemble was the lesser. My god this is going to be a good year for movies! Marvel Studios colossal gamble in combining four of their major comic brands into one film was subject to feeling clustered…
Review: The Hunger Games
I’m afraid to say it, but The Hunger Games left me starved of intrigue and commitment. Jumping on the Lord of the Rings > Harry Potter > Twilight bandwagon, the film is based off a series of popular books (that I hadn’t heard of until the film arrived) and follows a young girl sent into…
Review: Into the Wild
Based off a true story that was also novelised, Into the Wild tells the story of Chris McCandless and his very personal endeavour to escape society and the suffocation of modern life. Upon graduating with excellent grades, Chris abandons the parents he had grown to despise and takes to the road without a word. Under…
Review: THX 1138
Oh George, I go looking for your redemption in the years before your obsession… only to find more unnecessary CGI tinkering! Yes, before Star Wars and before American Graffiti young director George Lucas had a powerful collaboration with executive producer Francis Ford Copolla and composer Lalo Schifrin to create his first feature film, THX 1138. In a…
