Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Finale Review – ‘One World, One People’
Martin Carr reviews the finale of Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier… There is a turning point in this finale which makes the running time worthwhile.

Apple TV+ Review – The Mosquito Coast
Martin Carr reviews Apple TV+’s The Mosquito Coast… In 1986 Paul Shrader and Peter Weir tackled The Mosquito Coast on film.

Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4 Review – ‘The Whole World is Watching’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier… There is no denying the chemistry between Bucky, Sam and Baron Zemo. Daniel Bruhl is having a blast adding humanising shades to his heinous creation. He may never to be trusted, but neither is Zemo likely to be dull. Theological conversations, […]
TV Review – The Nevers
Martin Carr reviews HBO’s The Nevers… With Oscar nominees on production design and behind the camera, this Penny Dreadful throwback comes with pedigree. Featuring steam punk invention, this turn of the century X-Men gender mash starts strong with Joss Whedon writing, directing and world building.
