The time has come for the age of Jurassic Park to end. When you have seen one velociraptor open a door you have seen them all do it. Where the first Jurassic Park built the tension perfectly, every film since has struggled to capture this, and especially so when it com...
When Solo: A Star Wars Story was announced, I have to be honest, I felt that a film about the legendary character Han Solo, from the original Star Wars trilogy, didn’t need to be made. One of the many great things about Han Solo is the mystery about his background and...
Due to Deadpool being a huge success, mainly because of the unexpected nature of the film, it was only a matter of time before a sequel was to follow. I was a fan of the first film, but have always said that it walked a very thin line between comedy and being outright...
