Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Gotham season 2… Up in your face like Eli Roth on acid, episode two carves its intention across the screen using big fat marker pens. Coming across like a youthful Nicholson with all the imbalance of Ledger’s darkly edged Joker, Jerome sets a fire under your arse straight out […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘Damned If You Do’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Gotham season 2… From the opening frame of this new season Gotham seems like a different animal. There is a swagger in the step, a confidence somehow sealed in stone, which was lacking last year. Those villains are nastier, more sordid and somehow more stylish as a result. […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Battle for Red Hook’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of The Strain season 2… In the words of legendary singer songwriter Tom Waits I am a day late and a dollar short. Right now more than a week late and well past due on this review. It could said, and you wouldn’t be the first to say that […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Dance’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Scream: The TV Series… Earlier this week news broke of Wes Craven’s death from brain cancer. A debilitating, dignity stripping disease which I have had the unfortunate honour of witnessing first hand. However, with anything which has such a devastating affect it is best to reduce any column […]
Scream: The TV Series – Season 1 Finale Review
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Scream: The TV Series season 1… Paying tribute to Wes Craven in its opening moments, Scream: The TV Series launches into the season finale without missing a beat. Employing multi-media to isolate, frighten and confuse whilst keeping everything on track. To reveal our killer would be taking away […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Intruders’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of The Strain season 2… Anything which opens with Shakespeare and closes on family in fighting must be worth watching. That The Strain manages to lever arch in some decapitation, merely adds spice to an already combustible combination. Indulging in a soupcon of theatricality, some smoke and mirrors and […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Ghosts’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Scream: The TV Series… As we roll into the final few episodes Scream: The TV Series is gaining some serious momentum. Either putting Willa Fitzgerald through the Scream Queen wringer. Peppering the walls with Kubrick references, or employing strobe effects and pints of fake blood. Elsewhere however homages […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘Identity’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of The Strain season 2… Resurrected with an authentic chrome dome Corey Stoll is kicking arse and taking names. Since casting off his synthetic weave Ephraim Goodweather has found some cojones. No more the mild-mannered CDC executive. Now we have a lothario with germ warfare in mind. Having thrown […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘The Born’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of The Strain season 2… Once again I’m late to the party with fleeting impressions of episode seven. After another blinding forty minutes of television my conclusion is simple. The Strain was worth every penny they paid to adapt these contemporary tomes. Bouncing back and forth between ancient Rome […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘In The Trenches’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Scream: The TV Series… When a twist makes you swear out loud, then someone, somewhere, did something right. Especially if that curveball is proper ‘Heath Robinson’. If I’ve lost you just Google the reference. Name checking The Expendables, Maze Runner and Shawshank in the space of five minutes […]
