The Strain Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Silver Angel’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The Strain season 2… My experience of Mexican wrestling movies is limited to Nacho Libre. That ‘comedy’ which proved to me Jack Black should stick to what he does best. By which I mean singing and Kung Fu Panda sequels. That The Strain opens on just such a […]

Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Betrayed’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Scream: The TV Series… Amadeus Serafini is an anomaly. Part Christian Slater during his Nicholson phase, with a smidgen of Jason Patric pre Speed 2 and post Lost Boys. Noticeable only for his absence from my reviews, Serafini has floated around on the periphery having little impact for […]
