Edgar Wright’s latest film is everything and more you could have hoped for from the man known for his exciting filmmaking techniques and originality.

The Oscar DVDs are still trickling in, with this month offering some of the smaller fare which may have missed your nearest multiplex, as well as some of the big-winners of the night, including for Best Picture. If that isn’t your thing, there’s also one of the big sleeper hits of this year from one…
Wonder Woman has been both critically acclaimed and been smashing box office records. This success means so much more than it would for just any other superhero film, or any big budget release for that matter. As the first female superhero film (of this modern era), and the highest grossing film by a female director,…
Knowing the works of various filmmakers and actors can often make us more inclined to see one of their films, as the mere mention of their name can represent a sense of trust for style or quality, allowing us to feel a sense of confidence that our time watching will not be wasted. This is…
So the DCEU finally has a hit, and we have a solo female superhero film. Whoever didn’t believe women could direct or lead huge blockbuster action films better take a look.

So the sixth film in the Alien franchise, second chronologically, has finally hit our screens. It is a step up from previous installments, but not quite a return to form. Alien: Covenant follows the crew of the eponymous spacecraft as they commandeer a colonizing mission, heading for a new planet. After a forceful and tragic…
As one of the first films sold as a summer comedy to hit our screens this year that features a cast of both old and new top comedy talent, Snatched arrives as a bit of a disappointment. The film is lead by Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer’s mother-daughter duo as they go on a trip…
When Mamma Mia was released in film-form in 2008 it wasn’t exactly the most critically acclaimed output of the year, but for those who saw it for what it was – a great piece of feel-good musical fun – it became a DVD staple. Now, almost 10 years later, a sequel has been announced to…
