• TV Review – The Flash, Season 1, Episode 4

    This episode encapsulates the comic book and explodes it on to the small screen. Felicity Smoke (Emily Bett Rickards) and Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) steal this week’s addition of The Flash and make it the best one yet. Warning: Spoilers follow!

  • TV Review – Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Season 2, Episode 3

    Warning: Spoilers follow! Agent Simmons is back, and so is the fantastic plotline and pacing set in the first episode.

  • Trailer Watch – Kingsman: The Secret Service

    A dapper Colin Firth provides his sultry tones for the voice-over of this trailer. A stellar cast that includes Firth, Michael Caine, Samuel L. Jackson and Mark Strong. A small taste of the high-speed action that the film has to offer. Gadgets, gizmos and all the rest. What’s not...
