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

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

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).
