Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Gotham season 2… Storm clouds are gathered and winter is coming but this is no Game of Thrones. As Essen bleeds out and Gordon’s face turns to Mount Rushmore, you feel some serious shit is being thrown down. This is Straight Outta Compton crossed with New Jack City […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Assassin’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of The Strain season 2… Does anyone remember The Day of the Jackal? Not the sub-standard, Bruce Willis pay check movie where David Addison dyed his hair blonde. I mean the Edward Fox effort which portrayed a cold blooded, calculating killer wrapped up in a web of deceit. Before […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 11 Review – ‘Dead End’
Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of The Strain season 2… This is a two hander with some history thrown in. Split evenly between The Mayfield Hotel and Nazi Germany circa 1931 to 1935, The Strain proves adept once more at weaving a compelling web. You always had the inkling that Thomas Eichorst was a […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Knock Knock’
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 […]
