Avengers: Endgame – New Superbowl TV Ad
It’s midnight here in the UK so forgive the lack of game-related puns in the title or in this very short article, to go with a very short teaser. Marvel aired a new TV ad for Avengers: Endgame during the Super Bowl tonight (I think it’s the Super Bowl – British football isn’t my strong… Avengers: Endgame – New Superbowl TV Ad Read More
Ant-Man And The Wasp 3.5 stars
Scott Lang – Ant-Man, father, and according to the trophy his daughter gave him, World’s Greatest Grandma – is only a few days away from the end of his two-year house arrest after his breaking of the Sokovia Accords. So it’s unsurprising he’ll end up entangled in a plot that requires him to be anywhere… Ant-Man And The Wasp Read More
Incredibles 2 4 stars
“Done properly, parenting is a heroic act” intones Edna Mode, maker and mender of superhero apparel, and when Edna speaks we should all listen. Incredibles 2 is a film that holds a mirror up to how we live now. There’s the obvious (very obvious – at one point Elastigirl says “”Independence from screen slavery!” as… Incredibles 2 Read More
The Incredibles 4 stars
“Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don’t think so. I don’t think so…” says Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and The Incredibles movies (the sequel, made 14 years on but set immediately after the end of this movie, is out now) always manage to turn expected Superheroics on its head. Above all, The… The Incredibles Read More
Deadpool 2 4 stars
It’s half way through Deadpool 2 and as the body count rises the Fourth Wall is reduced to mere rubble, which means in future all movies will simply be our favourite stars talking directly to us through the screen, or maybe next to us on our sofas. The opening credits to Deadpool 2 are as… Deadpool 2 Read More
Avengers: Infinity War 4 stars
I enjoyed Avengers: Infinity War, despite or perhaps because I wasn’t always sure what was going on. A familiar superhero problem for me, though at least this time I spotted Stan Lee. The movie is fantastic fun, a ballsy blast, though for me mostly emotionally unengaging. Admittedly I’m not that invested in superheroes, but also so… Avengers: Infinity War Read More
Super Man To Superhero? Keanu Goes Kapow!
Look, I don’t write these headlines! Actually I do, I write everything on here. According to Deadline, Keanu Reeves is in talks to star in a vigilante superhero movie. His first superhero film – or alternatively his seventh, if like me you include both Bill & Teds, Constantine, John Wick 1 and John Wick 2…. Super Man To Superhero? Keanu Goes Kapow! Read More
Thor: Ragnarok 3D 4 stars
If, like me, you don’t know your avenger from your enemy, don’t worry. Thor: Ragnarok is full of useful exposition that’s wittily done. In fact the whole film is awash with gags. You could call its humour Shakespearean, as slapstick punctures the bumptuousness and self-aggrandisement of the film’s heroes and anti-heroes, and if that isn’t… Thor: Ragnarok 3D Read More
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie – 1 Minute Video Review Includes Video 4 stars

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie 4 stars
This is a film all about the strength of laughter, friendship, and knicker elastic – the ties that bind us and the binds that stop our underwear from falling down round our ankles. George and Harold go to a miserably joyless establishment called Jerome Horwitz Elementary School where children are so unhappy they climb into lockers at the… Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie Read More
