• Look Out For… September

    Ah, September; the beginning of my favourite time of year. Soon the wind will be crisper, the leaves will become multi-coloured, and – most importantly – it will be awards season again. But before we’re bombarded by a barrage of hoity-toity Oscar hopefuls, there’s a plethora of films on...
  • Film Review – X-Men: Apocalypse

    In a year where the superhero genre has arguably hit the heights of greatness (Captain America: Civil War) and the depths of the cesspit (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), X-Men: Apocalypse provides a safe middling entry to the list. The weakest of Bryan Singer’s four contributions to the...

  • TV Review – American Horror Story: Freak Show, Episode 1

    Almost a year has passed since the promise of a good story, and it’s a very scary one we’ve been waiting for. The fourth season of American Horror Story (labelled Freak Show) delivers after the interlude, and this time is at it superbly, as shivers shroud our senses from this...
