Another week, another scene to add to our Scene of the Week segment. This Sunday, I have chosen a moment in cinema which captures one of the greatest fictional characters of all time, in his simplest form, the ending of Batman Begins. Batman Begins suffered, somewhat, from the Batman films prior, due to George Clooney officially ruining the Dark Knight, but as time went on this film matured like a fine wine; more and more people saw it, and more and more people loved it, as i

Today we launch our new weekly segment, Scene of the Week. Within this, we will pick and review a scene every week that means something to us or to cinema in general. Starting this new segment off, we thought there would be no better choice than to pick from one of Christopher Nolan’s huge catalogue of iconic moments.

The scene we’ll be concentrating on will be the very last one, where we see Cobb and the team wake up from each of their dreams. Inception is a film about entering other people's dreams to access information about that person, of which they may not necessarily give up in reality, as well as making them unaware this theft has happened, due to them t

The second trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk was launched on Friday, and it presented plenty to talk about. However, funnily, it didn’t present much to talk about from a story/clues angle. I’ve always felt Nolan’s trailers tend to be from this mould - never giving much away, but this is an historical, real-life event, so the approach lends itself here. It did provide opportunity to talk about the visuals though, again being a staple of a Nolan trailer, and ultimately hi
