'Bright': A Review
A Netflix continues its meteoric rise, they expand their range of TV shows and movies in an effort to put their own permanent stamp on the entertainment world. Enter: Bright. This is Netflix's first big-budget movie coming in at costing the company $90 million to make. It was a big gamble for the company, and if the critics are to be believed, then the gamble has failed to pay off. But you know what? 11 million viewers in its first three days tells a very different story of a movie that, despite being panned by the "professional" critics, is still able to draw in a huge viewership. In fact, the story is also very different when you consider the professional critics rating vs the ratings from the fans. Review aggregate, Rotten Tomatoes has Bright sat at 29 percent approval from professional reviewers, while it's sat at 80 percent approval from regular fans. I have to say, I'm very much with the fans on this one.

Peter Capaldi's Letter to a Fan Is Something Truly Heartwarming
In 2013, it was announced that Peter Capaldi, probably best known at that time from his role of Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It, would become the Twelfth iteration of the famous Timelord. Taking over from the beloved Matt Smith, Capaldi quickly, and with great ease, put his own spin on the character, introducing his own brand of fun and mischief, while at the same time embodying an element of darkness about the character we hadn't really seen before.

5 Marvel Comics Events That Need to Make It to the Movies
So the Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps on rolling, churning out success after success. It seems they can do no wrong, but all these movies have been working to one ultimate goal, a mega crossover event to end all mega crossovers: Infinity War.

New 'X-Men: The Dark Phoenix' Photo Shows a Beaten Magneto
So as you may remember, there was a movie that came out last year called X-Men: Apocalypse, which was about the 600th movie released in the massively popular X-Men franchise. While the movie divided critics and fans, it was enough of a success to warrant a sequel getting the green light, which was announced to be none other than X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

Marvel Cancels 'Luke Cage'
Marvel Comics, it seems, has been on a bit of a cancellation spree of late, cancelling such titles as The Unbelievable Gwenpool, Generation X, and Hawkeye, but fans are in for a shock as it's been announced that 'Luke Cage' is also getting the axe.

Why I Love the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm scum. Perhaps rebel scum for daring to utter the opinion that the Star Wars prequel trilogy is anything but utter garbage. Maybe you're right, maybe you're an authoritarian sack of shit that can't handle someone having a different opinion to you. I dunno, just a thought I guess, but here's my coming out story; I LOVE the Star Wars prequels.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': A Review
Last night I went with a friend to see the much anticipated second film in the latest Star Wars trilogy, mysteriously sub-titled The Last Jedi. In typical Disney fashion, the secrets of this movie were on lockdown. Nobody knew what to expect other than what was fed to us by the posters, images, and trailers authorised for release by the studio. There was many a theory about what the posters signified, what the brief flashes of scenes in the trailers showed, many just wanting to know precisely what really was next in store for the Skywalker saga. I will note once again at this point, that this is my review of the movie, I'm making the decision not to steer clear of spoilers as I will be touching upon scenes and moments that really caught my attention and made me go "WOW!" that are ultimately spoilers.

Should Disney Revoke EA's Exclusivity Deal?
For the past couple of weeks, anyone with access to the internet will have heard about the Loot Box controversy involving EA's newest game Star Wars Battlefront II. The general gist of the criticism falls upon the notion that the developers had made it so difficult to unlock their favourite characters in the game without paying more money, that if the player really wanted these characters, then they would be compelled to fork out the dough.

How Deadpool Saved the Superhero Genre
I'm not exactly someone who can be considered a hardcore Deadpool fan. I've read some of the comics, played the video game, and just generally had an appreciation for the unique nature of the character as he existed within the Marvel world. Those who are perhaps a bit more hardcore than I when it comes to the fandom, however, are the real stars in this story, as it's because of them, and only them, that Deadpool ever made it to the big screen in the first place.

Atomic Blonde: A Review
I'm gonna say it right off the bat, you'll all probably hate me for it, but I'm gonna say it anyway; I don't much care for James McAvoy. There. I said it. It's out on the internet now, and there's nothing I can do to change things. But luckily, James McAvoy isn't the central focus of this film, the central focus here, and rightly so, is the magnificent Charlize Theron. She's playing a kick-ass MI6 Agent sent to Berlin around the time of the fall of the Berlin wall to investigate a rogue agent and locate a secret dossier that puts the lives of all MI6 agents at risk.

America Really Needs to Address Its Gun Problem
At the time of writing, the website massshootingtracker.org has the number of mass shootings in the US currently at 377, with the number killed sitting at 542 for this year alone. The fact that such a website even exists is startling, but the numbers make for some truly horrifying reading.
