Captain Underpants: The First Epic Adventure Review

Now when I was younger I was a big fan of the Captain Underpants books. As immature as they were, there was a great level of charm to the books, and actually a bit of a subversive streak if you look deeper into them. However, when the film was announced I didn’t really pay much…

Dunkirk Review

I’ve made it no secret in the past that my favourite director working today is Christopher Nolan. His films are some of the best examples in modern film in the use of time and structure to play around with the audience, putting the audience in the right frame of mind for twists and suspense. For…

Spider-Man: Homecoming Review

This is one of the rare times that the MCU has had to handle a superhero that has previously had a big screen adaptation of the character. Sure there have been versions of Captain America, Thor, Nick Fury and Doctor Strange, but those were on TV or straight to DVD, the only character in the…
