Scott Davis reviews the latest episode of Community…. Don’t mention the war… As the new series of Community continues in earnest under its new leadership, one thing that seems to be consistent so far is its earnestness. A change to the sharp, quote-along aspect of its early nature, Community is beginning to involve into a […]

Matt Smith reviews the latest episode of The Following… So, another week, another episode. It’s not getting old, but it feels kind of routine now (especially as I’ve noticed I begin most reviews of The Following with ‘So…’). I can’t remember my life before Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy were in it, butting heads as […]

Luke Owen on last night’s episode of The Apprentice 2012… In the business world, there are winners and losers. Sometimes the winners don’t deserve to win and sometimes the losers don’t deserve to lose. That was the story of this week’s Apprentice. Lord Sugar called our teams to a sports hall which is apparently a big […]

Anghus Houvouras on why film fans need to stop their relentless pursuit of the next big thing… The Summer movie season is almost upon us. Even though technically Summer doesn’t start until late June, the big budget popcorn movie machine is already cranking out enormously budgeted blockbusters.
