How do you solve a problem like Zack Snyder?

by

It’s a question that divides many. Some don’t even believe it needs answering, particularly those who defended Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice against the legions of critics and fans who heaped scorn on it. Warner Bros themselves didn’t think it was a question at all, given how shocked the studio were that people *gasp* […]

Daniel Craig, it’s okay if you let Bond go

by

Tony Black on Daniel Craig’s future as Bond…We all knew this was coming. By we, I mean the legion of James Bond fans and aficionados who have followed the bizarre media whirlwind that seems to forever cascade around 007 himself, Daniel Craig. The Daily Fail (sorry, Mail!) apparently claimed Craig is done – that soon […]

Time After Time: The Origin of Wells vs The Ripper

by

Tony Black on the original of Wells vs. The Ripper…It’s been quite the week for time travel TV shows, as first NBC’s Timeless dropped a trailer (and if that show could have more cliches, I’d love to know how), the announcement that Jeremy Carver has jumped from the good ship Supernatural to head up a […]

Tony Black looks back at The X-Files season 10…Words can not begin to express how excited I was when The X-Files was confirmed to be returning for the first time since 2007, and on TV since 2002. It has been the piece of entertainment closest to my heart since I was a child. I have […]

by

With Gareth Edwards exiting the Godzilla sequel, Tony Black asks what is next for the King of the Monsters…When Godzilla returned in 2014, the odds were stacked against him. The last time Hollywood had seen everyone’s favourite movie monster, he was ignominiously handled by the Roland Emmerich/Dean Devlin popcorn machine in 1997’s hokey version. Nobody […]

by

Book of the StrangerDirected by Daniel SackheimWritten by David Benioff & D.B. WeissJon & SansaHow awesome is it to have a section title with those two names together?

The ABC’s of Death: Does the network’s cull spell trouble for Marvel?

by

In one of the biggest TV culls of recent memory, ABC today cut a veritable swathe through some of its most well known and long-running material, cancelling a raft of shows with a built-in pedigree and audience. Castle is one of the most prominent, a Steven J. Cannell-esque procedural detective show that has seen the […]

MIB 23: How the most unlikely movie mash-up came to be

by

Tony Black on the Jump Street and Men in Black crossover MIB 23…Remember the big Sony leak at the end of 2014? The one that made everyone panic about that really rather rubbish North Korea-baiting Rogen/Franco comedy? Well aside from the news that Spider-Man might end up coming back to the MCU (and arguably the […]
