Cleverer than all of us put together. Immortal. Millions of fans around the world. Immortal. Time travel in a phone box. Immortal. Loves dogs. Immortal. I grew up on Doctor Who. Though I can’t claim superfan status as I was behind the sofa the whole time and probably missed some key plot points. And you know how much… Kean-Who? The Doctor Will See You Now Read More
Top 20 Movie Reviews from 2017
I’d never have thought, as I sat in a New York screening room watching Super Dark Times back in September, that it would turn out to be my most popular review of 2017. Or that the overwrought 1996 Keanu Reeves vehicle Chain Reaction would deliver more traffic this year than Edgar Wright’s critically acclaimed, soundtrack-driven heist… Top 20 Movie Reviews from 2017 Read More

John Wick: Chapter 2 4.5 stars
One question, asks Julius, the manager of Rome’s Continental hotel. John Wick, the world’s most feared assassin, leans forward to listen: “Are you here for the Pope?” This absurd yet somehow sensible question sums up everything that is so perfect yet at the same time so batshit crazy about John Wick: Chapter 2. Bigger and bolder… John Wick: Chapter 2 Read More
John Wick Chapter 2 Trailer Goes 50 Shades Darker: “Will Somebody Please Give That Man My Number!”
The new John Wick Chapter 2 trailer is brilliant, though it looks pretty standard action for Valentine’s Day to me. I am hard as nails though. The sequel to the Keanu Reeves slow-burner from 2014 is out in a few days and I can think of far worse ways to spend Valentine’s Day than at the cinema… John Wick Chapter 2 Trailer Goes 50 Shades Darker: “Will Somebody Please Give That Man My Number!” Read More
Coming Out Of The Shadows – interview with director & rookie stuntman Steve Koepfer
“A film set is a living organism. Something as simple as slowly driving a car 20 feet as part of this constellation of activity can be very intimidating if you have never functioned in that space before.” Steve Koepfer Stunt men and women are the “shadow warriors”, in the background but pivotal to the scene. I… Coming Out Of The Shadows – interview with director & rookie stuntman Steve Koepfer Read More
NOISE COMPLAINT? Hell Yeah! John Wick’s Symphony Of Violence & A Poem
Want to see John Wick shooting his load over and over again? OF COURSE YOU DO! The new John Wick Symphony of Violence is filled with deaths from the original John Wick, set to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture Finale.

I’ve Found The Perfect Free Gift For John Wick’s Favourite Magazine
There’s a glossy-yet-shadowy magazine for assassins coming out this month, and I really hope that a pencil is the free gift with the first issue. (A decent quality pencil, tested to ensure each one can kill three people in a bar before breaking*). The new magazine is called Continental Quarterly and is the in-house publication of… I’ve Found The Perfect Free Gift For John Wick’s Favourite Magazine Read More
2017 Movies I Want To See Either Side of John Wick 2
That’s 2017 the year, not the number of movies. And these are the 10+JW2 I’m most looking forward to seeing – don’t let me down, film makers! As I keep pointing out, it costs me a tenner to go to the cinema and that’s before you factor in the drinks afterwards to help me cope with… 2017 Movies I Want To See Either Side of John Wick 2 Read More
OMG John Wick has killed Santa!
He knows when you are sleeping! (as if I’d be asleep). He knows when you’re awake! (hell yes). He knows when you’ve been bad or good (bad John, so very bad). So be good for goodness sake (I’ve been practising!). Come on, this is 2016, WORST YEAR ON RECORD, of course Santa turned out to be… OMG John Wick has killed Santa! Read More
Another day, another John Wick Chapter 2 trailer
John Wick is BACK!!! And just in time to ruin your Christmas party. John Wick trailers are like buses, none for ages then about three in a row (well, strictly speaking, looking at Wick’s mashed up face in the latest one, they’re like night buses going through a really dodgy part of Sarf London). See the 58th… Another day, another John Wick Chapter 2 trailer Read More
John Wick’s in Italy but his Holiday Wardrobe is Tactical in New Trailer for Chapter 2
Last week we got a teaser trailer for John Wick Chapter 2 that saw everyone’s favourite reluctant assassin who-once-killed-three-men-in-a-bar-with-a-fucking-pencil being measured up for a new suit for a party (the Tailor Teaser Trailer?). At New York Comic Con a bigger trailer dropped (yes now we get trailers for trailers. Though with John Wick no one’ll be complaining).
