March 13, 2026 by Tom Jolliffe

The Oscars can’t always get it right, but were they seriously wrong with these omissions? The Oscars are almost upon us, and heaven knows what controversies and contentious decisions await.

Is the King of Action Back? Arnold’s Triumphant Return to Conan, Commando and Predator

March 10, 2026 by Tom Jolliffe

Do movie fans want Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to the big screen? I do… but what could we expect? Some projects remain in development hell forever.

Can Edgar Wright conquer America with The Running Man?

July 6, 2025 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe on The Running Man, and whether it will be the film to finally see Edgar Wright breaking America… Much like Oasis and Robbie Williams, Edgar Wright’s attempts to translate UK status and acclaim to the glitzy world of the US industry haven’t gone entirely to plan. He’s certainly got more name recognition than […]

10 Essential Comedy Movies of 1996

March 6, 2026 by Tom Jolliffe

We take a trip back some thirty(!) years to look at the essential comedy movies of 1996… Back in the 90s, the comedy genre was going through a purple patch.

Is AI About to Make Creatives Irrelevant?

February 16, 2026 by Tom Jolliffe

Are we at a crossroads with AI, or already way down the road leading to the death of the creative?
