Matt Rodgers on the rise of Blumhouse Productions… If you peek through the window at Blumhouse Productions, past the levitating chair in the middle of the room, and the dank haired girl performing a spasmodic rendition of the robot to creepy effect, you’ll see an empty shelf, suspended by cobwebs, on a wall with an […]
Oscars: What Should Have Won – The Big Chill over Terms of Endearment for Best Picture of 1983
Graeme Robertson on why The Big Chill should have won over Terms of Endearment at the Academy Awards… The Oscars celebrating the best of 1983 is something of a strange case. Looking at the line-up of the Best Picture nominees I was struck by the way in which all of the nominees, bar one, where […]
Replay Level? The Best Video Game Movie Scenes
Matt Rodgers on the best ever video game movie scenes… The first part of 2018 will see two high profile videogame adaptations hit the big screen in an attempt to do what 2016’s Assassin’s Creed couldn’t, by breaking a curse which has stretched back as far as 1993’s infamous Super Mario Bros. movie.

The Flickering Myth Reaction to the Solo: A Star Wars Story teaser trailer
They certainly made us wait, but yesterday Disney and Lucasfilm delivered our very first look at their second Star Wars Anthology movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story, with the release of a teaser trailer.

Is the future of film original screenplays or franchise continuations?
George Chrysostomou on original screenplays vs. franchises… After watching Edgar Wright’s critically and commercially successful Baby Driver, it struck me that this was the first movie I had watched in a while that was not only imaginative and unique, but was not based on any source material such as a novel or comic series, not a […]

Oscars: What Should Have Won – Judgment at Nuremberg over West Side Story for Best Picture of 1961
Graeme Robertson on why Judgement at Nuremberg should have won over West Side Story at the Academy Awards… It’s Oscar season again, so it’s time to take a look at Oscar ceremonies of the past and spotlight the films that I feel should have won the coveted Best Picture trophy over those that ultimately did.

An Unsubstantiated Opinion: Rian Johnson’s perplexing relationship with Star Wars: The Last Jedi critics
Anghus Houvouras on Rian Johnson’s perplexing relationship with Star Wars: The Last Jedi critics… When forging our opinions, we spend a unnecessary amount of time worrying about being on the ‘right’ side of an argument.
