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 […]
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. Much has been written about the film’s production troubles, which saw original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller fired with just […]
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.

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 […]
Was 2017 Really A Record Year For British Cinema?
Neil Calloway isn’t convinced by the BFI’s claims about the British film industry… This week saw the release of the British Film Institute’s official statistics for 2017.

Why is everybody hating on Ready Player One?
Anghus Houvouras on Ready Player One… Ready Player One. Ernest Cline’s huge hit of a novel came out in 2011 and was embraced by the geek community like few other novels in the 21st century. It was a highly coveted book even before it’s release when publishers engaged in a bidding war for the rights. […]
If you’re a person who gives bad reviews to films you’ve not seen, perhaps you should rethink your life
Samuel Brace on the campaign to sabotage the Rotten Tomatoes score of Marvel’s Black Panther… In the grand scheme of nefarious machinations, the topic of disgruntled movie fans (‘fan’ being a word I’m hesitant here to use) dishing out bad review scores to films which have yet to be seen, falls rather lower on the […]
How Far Can Star Wars Go?
Tom Jolliffe takes a look at the Star Wars franchise and just how far it can go… Before I start the ball rolling, I think we’ve all established that Star Wars: The Last Jedi was divisive. In the end the big band of people who thought it was a Cleveland steamer upon the chest of […]
