November 23, 2023 by Tom Jolliffe

With diminishing returns and a lack of interest from big-screen audiences, are old-school action heroes heading to the retirement home…? In the 1980s and 1990s, you couldn’t move for action heroes.

The Contemporary Queens of Action Cinema

March 1, 2022 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe on the current leading ladies of action… The 21st century has seen many things. Among those has been a push for equality across all spectrums.

The Craziest Takashi Miike Movies

November 22, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno on the wildest work of Japanese director Takashi Miike… With over 112 directing credits to his name, the word prolific doesn’t even begin to describe Takashi Miike.

August 1, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno looks at eight of the best women-led blockbusters… We are entering almost unknown territory with the success of Barbie. As the film inches to half a billion in just one week of release, we see a female-led (and female-directed) blockbuster hit heights we never thought possible.

GoldenEye: The Film That Revitalised the James Bond Franchise

November 20, 2023 by Ricky Church

Ricky Church on 1995’s GoldenEye, and how it revitalised the Bond franchise… For a film franchise as long-lasting and famous as James Bond, it is hard to believe there has been a point during the secret agent’s 60 year onscreen career that it ever seemed likely there would be no more films featuring 007, yet […]

September 17, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno looks at Marvel Studios’ efforts to cast the MCU’s Fantastic Four… For months, we’ve seen rumors surrounding the casting of the Fantastic Four.

The Most Disturbing Horror Movies of the 1980s

November 1, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno on the most disturbing horror movies of the 1980s… The 1980s is the prime time for horror films, but oddly, the decade’s movies aren’t as shocking as the 70s or even the torture porn era of the 00s. Hunting for the most shocking and disturbing movies of the decade wasn’t hard, but it […]
