Anghus Houvouras reviews Earth 2: World’s End #1…. I’m an alternate universe junkie. It’s probably why I’m such a fan of Grant Morrison’s Multiversity project. Since I was a kid I found myself more drawn to the other Earths. The ones with variations of our well know icons. The worlds where Superman was old, or […]

Anghus Houvouras reviews episode 3 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2… Early into its second season, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. feels like a show with a purpose. The pace is frenetic.

Anghus Houvouras on the ‘Franchise Wars’ and the end of anticipation…. The Hollywood landscape has changed so much in the 21st century. Hollywood has always been keen to build a franchise.

Anghus Houvouras shares his disappointment over the first episode of Gotham…. Origin stories. They are the bane of this current wave of comic book culture. You can’t turn on a television this year without seeing a comic book adaptation. Arrow, Flash, Constantine, and the most high profile of them is Fox’s attempt at bandwagon jumping: […]

Anghus Houvouras reviews the first episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2… If Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. perfected one thing during its first season, it was dropping Easter eggs.

Anghus Houvouras’ Most Disappointing Films returns with X-Men: First Class… Disappointing movies are all about the final product falling short of expectations. That shouldn’t have been a problem with X-Men: First Class (henceforth referred to as ‘First Class’) because it had such earnest goals. To start the X-Men franchise over. To erradicate the creative horrors […]

Anghus Houvouras on whether Americans are too stupid for subtitles… Recently Helen Mirren stirred some controversy while discussing her latest film, The Hundred-Foot Journey.
