• Film Review – Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

    Foregrounded in the decrepit decor of Basin City basks bludgeoned beauty, thirstful revenge and unjust corruption. The gritty city streets can uncage even the humblest of inhabitants, though who’ll allow themselves to lose control? Which of them will truly let the monster out? Sin City: A Dame to Kill...
  • Review – Doctor Who: Deep Breath

    On the 4th August 2013, Peter Capaldi was announced as the newest actor to take on the role of The Doctor, taking over from Matt Smith. After 384 days of waiting, we finally got to see his Doctor emerge from the TARDIS… and boy, was it worth the wait....

  • Review – Guardians of the Galaxy

    The tenth instalment in their Cinematic Universe, Guardians of the Galaxy is a momentous accomplishment for Marvel Studios’ perpetually expanding franchise.
