The Review at the End of the Universe
James Wan’s Aquaman follows on from Jason Momoa’s full introduction of the character in 2017’s Justice League to flesh him out with his own adventure. Nobody knows if there’s such a thing as a DC Extended Universe any more but that isn’t stopping Warner Brothers making films featuring those characters. Aquaman was already well into production by the…
As I write this it’s the final day of 2018 so I’m probably a little overdue with my list of the best and worst movies of the year. The usual disclaimer that I haven’t seen every film applies and what follows is entirely my opinion based on what I personally saw. There is a supporting…
As I write this it’s the final day of 2018 so I’m probably a little overdue with my list of the best and worst movies of the year. The usual disclaimer that I haven’t seen every film applies and what follows is entirely my opinion based on what I personally saw. Unfortunately I don’t have…
The magical nanny returns to assist the Banks family in Rob Marshall’s long delayed sequel Mary Poppins Returns.

Spider-Man enters the world of cinematic animation in Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman’s reality hopping Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Audiences have seen a number of versions of Spider-Man since the 2002 Sam Raimi film set the world on fire and elevated interest in the character to a whole new level. We’re on our…
Ruben Fleischer’s Venom was released a while back and the team overcome problems like a loss in internet to get together to have a discussion about it. They talk inconsistencies, true symbiosis, Eminem’s theme song, the lack of Spider-Man and even take some of your questions. Craig and Angus can be found as writers on…
The growth of rock & roll supergroup Queen and the life of Freddie Mercury are brought to the big screen in Bryan Singer’s Bohemian Rhapsody.
