Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Gotham… Julian Sands has always been a jobbing actor in predominantly risible fare. Warlock with the far superior Richard E Grant anyone? Or perhaps you prefer the less than engaging Boxing Helena with Miss Twin Peaks herself Sherilynn Fenn. Whatever you’re particular brand of vodka it would be […]
Gotham Season 1 Episode 15 Review – ‘The Scarecrow’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham… It occurs to me that I may have been a little harsh on Julian Sands. For whatever reason I failed to buy into his portrayal of Dr Gerald Crane, feeling that there was no inherent threat, fear or sense of foreboding. In ‘The Scarecrow’ the metaphorical penny […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Quid Pro Quo′
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Constantine… Quid Pro Quo: A reciprocal exchange from the Latin circa sixteenth century. Underutilised and under the radar no longer people. Finally seasoned supporting player Charles Halford gets his chance to outshine Matt Ryan, in a move destined to see the fortunes of Constantine take on a more […]
Gotham Series 1 Episode 13 Review – ‘Welcome Back, Jim Gordon’
Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Gotham… There is something strangely satisfying about seeing Jada Pinkett Smith chained up surrounded by instruments of torture. Whilst Ben McKenzie doing his full on righteous routine shoulder to shoulder with a seventy thirty split of dirty cops and those either side of that line, garnered a noticeably […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 11 Review – “A Whole World Out There”
Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Constantine… “The God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac. We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him?! What kind of god would do that?” Stephen Fry I never aim to be inflammatory. Offence is never intended. […]
Gotham Season 1 Episode 12 Review – ‘What the Little Bird Told Him’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Gotham… This should have been called something like ‘Coming Home To Roost’, more snappy, less obvious, no spoon feeding of your demographic. This would make for a less obvious tagline and therefore a more entertaining forty minutes of television. As it is we get ‘What the Little Bird […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Saint of Last Resorts’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Constantine… This review leaves me with a distinct sense of having missed the boat. Other opinions have been jamming up the internet for at least two weeks now, so you might rightly ask yourself what I bring to the table. Well if discussions about Christian iconography, far flung […]
Gotham Season 1 Episode 11 Review – ‘Rogue’s Gallery’
Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Gotham… I am going to say something which makes me sound old. Watching the latest episode from Gotham’s playlist this week made me think of Terri Hatcher. Not the Hatcher from televisual travesty Desperate Housewives, but more so the sultry persona which made The New Adventures of Superman […]
Gotham Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Lovecraft’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Gotham… A Penny(worth) for your thoughts? Alfred gets medieval while ‘Gotham’ goes to the dogs… ‘Lovecraft’ is a great name but not it turns out such a great title. What we have here is failure to communicate. Danny Cannon and Bruno Heller, who represent the creative help in […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Rage of Caliban’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Constantine… Let me start by being contentious. I have read other opinions on this episode. They may or may not influence me, but since I believe most have missed the point it remains unlikely. Forums and websites who afford the expert and ignoramus equal opportunity to air their […]
