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 FryI never aim to be inflammatory. Offence is never intended. My reviews […]
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 Told […]
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 South […]
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 worth […]
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 this equation, […]
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 views […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Blessed Are the Damned’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Constantine…At the heart of this episode lies a theological debate centred on conflicting opinions; those of subjective faith and established dogma. For once the Hellblazer paradigm has been jettisoned in favour of an original piece of writing with a fresh approach.That it revels in an intentional blurring of […]
Gotham Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Harvey Dent’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Gotham…Gotham’s most famous schizophrenic makes his entrance……Nicholas D’Agosto is a whole bag of crazy. Clean cut image, catalogue model looks and a smile so superficial you know something sinister lies beneath. In political terms Bill Hicks once said that ‘anyone that far to the right is hiding a […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Danse Vaudou’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Constantine…Shall we play a game?What do you get when one veteran film maker with broad genre credentials takes on a protagonist with hell on his heels? Answer, a languid Louisiana vibe straight from the voodoo heartland of New Orleans. Filmed in back alleys, side streets and bearing the […]
Constantine Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘A Feast of Friends’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Constantine…John Constantine is about to have another bad day…..Imagine an addiction so powerful it consumes you. Flesh and blood are your only means of containing a compulsion both self-aware and demonic in origin. You need an impressionable vessel with some serious guilt issues, plus a sociopathic tendency for […]
