Joker: Folie à Deux – What You Need To Know
When Joker came out in 2019, I held mixed opinions; I liked the film but didn’t feel it fitted in with the DCEU. In short, it could have been about a random psychopath and the city just happened to be called Gotham. Still, if it is as good as the original I’m ready to forgive…

We all like a bit of news, gossip, rumor, and speculation about movies! Now that it seems like the world is returning to normal after a terrible pandemic, there is a new fervor surrounding film and TV releases.

John Wick: Chapter 4 – What You Need To Know
John Wick returns! Personally, I can’t wait. If they keep up the standard of the first three I’d be happy to see this franchise running as long as the James Bond one! Who is John Wick? John Wick is (was) a retired hit man. He was an exceptionally good one. Liam Neeson thought he had…

Best Of British Biographies – Danny Boyle

I’m sure that I’ve said somewhere else that, way back in the nineties, I bought a house based mainly on the proximity to the Davenport Theatre. It was couple of hundred metres away and I could walk around, get a pint or two, and watch a film. As the name suggests, it was originally a…

Wakanda Forever – What You Need To Know About Black Panther 2
Of all the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever may well be one of the most anticipated…possibly even more than the Infinity War/Endgame coupling. This is the first MCU film to be released following the real-world demise of a leading actor. The studio decided not to recast the role; personally, I…

Dune: Part 2 – What You Need To Know About the Dune Sequel
When Dune came out in 2021 it was to favourable reviews. It earned $401.8m against a spend of $165m despite being released during the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those two factors were enough to guarantee a sequel. What is Dune: Part 2? Fairly obviously, it is a direct sequel to Dune. This time…

MCU Eternals Actor Harry Styles – What You Need To Know
The news broke over the weekend that Harry Styles has landed a “$100m five film deal” as part of the MCU. Now I’m taking this news with a humongous pinch of salt because it was announced in two papers; one was the Daily Mail, which is famously untruthful, and the other was Metro, a free…

Ms Marvel on Disney+ — What You Need To Know
Marvel are opening more doors! They’ve taken another comic book character and created a new series around them. This time, though, the character is a teenaged Muslim girl, played by a first-time actor. Who Is Ms Marvel? Ms Marvel is the alter ego of Kamala Khan who worships Captain Marvel to the point of playing…

Best of British Biographies – Tom Hiddleston
There’s an astronomical term known as the standard candle. This is an astronomical object that has a known absolute magnitude. By knowing this you can use it to compare with other objects and, therefore, work out how big and bright they are. For me, Tom Hiddleston is something of a standard candle in that we’re…

Best of British Biographies – Christian Bale
—
Some actors can adopt any number of accents. Others are comfortable under pounds of prosthetics. Yet more can slim down, bulk up, or stack on mountains of muscle. It takes someone very special to be able to manage all three. I would argue that one such actor is Mr Christian Bale. To be honest, the…
