Gods Of Egypt Review

Proyas previously brought us such dark and moody delights as The Crow and Dark City, but Gods Of Egypt is completely unlike anything he’s made before. It’s big, it’s camp, it’s awash with CGI which varies in quality from shot to shot. In style and tone, it belongs in that same odd category of action fantasy films as Louis Leterrier’s Clash Of The Titans or Tarsem Singh’s Immortals. Put it this way: unless you’re planning to break into Fort Knox, you’ll never see this much gold flash past your eyes again....

Hang Ups Episode 1 Review

The bones of the premise are taken from Showtime’s Web Therapy starring Lisa Kudrow: a therapist offers troubled clients short bursts of online video chat counselling. The actors talk straight to camera, and largely, they improvise their dialogue. In place of Kudrow’s venal, unscrupulous Fiona Wallace is Stephen Mangan’s desperate, cash-strapped Richard Pitt. His group practice having failed, Richard has started the new online business as a way to pay off his loan shark debts and contribute to the chaotic household he shares with his successful wife Karen (Katherine Parkinson) and their cohort of teenage children and hangers-on....

Hannibal Ko No Mono Review

Then Graham caught Freddie Lounds snooping around his farm and dragged her off, kicking and screaming, before showing up for dinner at Hannibal’s house with a suspiciously sourced cut of meat. Which he implied was lady meat. Human lady. Which they then cooked and ate. But the weirdest scene for this viewer, hands down, was when Hannibal taught Bloom how to play the Theremin as a prelude to sex. A sexy time Theremin session?...

Has Wwe Found Its Next John Cena

Brisco recruits many amateur wrestlers for WWE. A former amateur-turned-pro wrestler himself, Brisco set his eyes this season on Duke heavyweight Jacob Kasper, and Kasper recently agreed to attend an NXT Tryout Camp later this month. Brisco told ESPN that he’s been following Kasper for some time, and it’s not just his wrestling ability that makes him a standout. With a 106-38 record in his career at Duke University, Kasper has all of the physical tools....

How To Get Away With Murder Freakin Whack A Mole Review

The whack-a-mole is Asher, who unexpectedly pops up at inconvenient times for his classmates and Rebecca, hiding inside Annalise’s office, and later, in his father’s study at their posh suburban home. It’d be safe to say this chapter is from Asher’s POV, as we travel along with him in the time leading up the bonfire. He’s awkward in his apartment. He could do with a few friends who’d tell him the truth about how he looks wiggling and jiggling around, trying to look cool....

How To Get Away With Murder He Has A Wife Review

Lila and Rebecca, unlikely best friends forever, share cocaine and girl talk on the rooftop that later had a special meaning. No one is who and what they seem on How to Get Away with Murder. People can defy stereotypes. The sorority girl can honestly be friends with the Goth girl from the other side of town without an ulterior motive. No slumming here, their friendship is the stuff of summer road trip movies....

It S Always Sunny In Philadelphia The Gang Broke Dee Review

“People have always found our show on their own,” Charlie Day told reporters at Comic Con. “We’ve been a show that’s survived thanks to audience ingenuity and certainly no thanks to awards programs. We’ve solely survived off generations of college kids telling their friends to find the show.” To get there, Dee’s comeback tour starts where she’s historically been the least successful: on-stage. With the help of a new routine, a creepy, overweight talent agent and the backing of her fan club, Dee is as famous as ever....

Jj Abrams Fringe Episode 14 Review

As a diversion the show doesn’t open with the weird and wonderful happening, that’s held till after the credits. What we do get is a revisiting of the events of episode 10, where Mr Jones teleports himself out of a German high security prison. We then cut to Mr Jones, who is released from a decompression chamber, as predicted would be needed by Walter, but doesn’t look too well for the experience....

Jj Abrams Fringe Episode 9 Review

The trademark strange opening is about an executive of Massive Dynamics, who after giving a presentation is attacked by one and then hundreds of butterflies that cut him like they’re razor sharp. To escape them, he jumps through a window, before falling from a significant height to his death. The odd graphics, eerie music and mystery begins. The toads she found, it seems, are a source of a highly powerful psychotropic drug that produces an effect so dramatic that if you think you’re cut, a wound will actually open....

John Hughes The Later Years

The first of these pictures was 1988’s The Great Outdoors. Teaming up with Pretty In Pink and Some Kind Of Wonderful director, Howard Deutch, it pairs Hughes favourite John Candy with one of the kings of 80s comedy, Dan Aykroyd. Roman is more than happy to make everybody aware of his wealth and so-called expertise on all subjects and it doesn’t take Chet long to despise him. But for the sake of the vacation he manages to bite his tongue....

Knightfall Episode 4 Review He Who Discovers His Own Self Discovers God

Knightfall Episode 4 “Are you sure you want this marriage?” Just when Knightfall appeared ready to focus on the romantic entanglements of its ruling class, “He Who Discovers His Own Self, Discovers God” takes the historical narrative back to its roots of mystery, murder, and political intrigue. Landry embarks on a vision quest and leaves Tancrede and Gawain behind to get to the bottom of the Saracen’s murder, but the tale takes an unexpected turn when the killer’s identity is revealed....

Legends Premiere Episode Review

At first it looked as though Sean Bean had his Oprah “you get a car” moment with Game of Thrones. Of course, FOUR YEAR OLD SPOILER ALERT BUT SERIOUSLY HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THIS ALREADY, that did not last a full season as Ned Stark kept up a running tradition of dead Sean Bean characters by losing his head. Now TNT has swooped in and “rescued” Sean Bean with another pilot to call his own, in Legends....

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 9 Review Beebo The God Of War

Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 9 So Jax left. It makes perfect sense as to why. After last week and the death of Martin Stein, he’s powerless, alone and a bit of a loose appendage on the Legends. If he stuck around, we’d be constantly wondering when he would get his Firestorm powers back. That doesn’t make this hurt any less though. This wasn’t the best episode of Legends, but in a way, it was the perfect episode....

Life Moves Pretty Fast By Hadley Freeman Review

The reason I bring the site up here – and thus prove my point about my own wordiness – is a question they asked Edgar Wright when on the junket trail for The World’s End. For they cut straight to the nub of it: what’s the film about, and then, what’s it really about? After all, it’s little secret to most of us who follow cinema that the creative risk has seeped out of big movies....

Line Of Duty Series 4 Episode 5 Review

When you come at Ted Hastings, you’d best not miss, son. Hilton doesn’t stand a chance, does he? I pray to the TV Gods he doesn’t. In Line Of Duty’s storm of moral murk and slippery wrong-doing, Ted Hastings is our rock, a stalwart who can always be relied upon to do the right thing, even—especially—when it’s not the easy thing. If they succeed in framing and discrediting Ted, we may as well chuck the whole concept of justice out the window and start living the lawless existence of Wild West frontiersmen....

Lockout Review

The story and its laconic hero are straight out of Escape From New York and its sequel. Its one-liners and duct-crawling moments of suspense are clearly inspired by Die Hard. The bickering chemistry between Guy Pearce’s hero and Maggie Grace’s imperilled president’s daughter Emilie Warnock recalls Romancing The Stone. There’s even a late one-liner that appears to be borrowed from the 1986 Stallone flick, Cobra. Accused of a crime he didn’t commit, Snow’s about to be put to sleep and shipped off to MS-One, a revolutionary prison-in-space where its inmates are kept in an experimental form of suspended animation....

Manchester By The Sea Review

We soon learn that Lee lives a simple and unfulfilled existence as a janitor in Boston, serving whingy residents in a run-down tenement. When he gets word that his brother Joe (Kyle Chandler) has succumbed to a terminal heart condition, he heads back to his hometown of Manchester, Massachussetts, to make arrangements for the funeral and look after his now-teenaged nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges) in the interim. Produced by Matt Damon (who originally intended to play Lee), this is neither a cut-and-dry cathartic weepie or a meditative statement about grief....

Marvel S Runaways Season 1 Episode 7 Review Refraction

Marvel’s Runaways Season 1, Episode 7 When the Marvel’s Runaways TV show was announced, a story about teenagers who find out their parents are murderers, one might have expected for a fair amount of coming-of-age angst. We’ve gotten it, but in a refreshing twist exemplified by the superb “Refraction,” it’s not only the teenagers who are suffering from uncertainty and growing pains. It’s the adults, too. This results in some major moves on behalf of the parents, the kind of plot developments I was bemoaning the lack of in last week’s episode....
