Many hands were wrung over the fact that the show had spent the first six episodes deliberately moving the chess pieces across the board only to then move characters around Westeros and Essos at breakneck speed in Season 7. So, the question became whether we would get to spend …
From Iron Man to Infinity War - Marvel’s Journey to World Domination
After initially struggling financially, Marvel released Iron Man in 2008. This was the pre-Disney Marvel, still weighed down by deals done to release Spider-Man and X-Men to Sony and Fox respectively. These stories were arguably their most marketable intellectual properties, and it was to be that they wouldn’t stand to make further money (initially purchase aside) from them for quite some time. Pre-Disney, Marvel realised they needed something new. That’s when the idea for a Marvel Cinematic Universe came about. …
Three Things I look forward to in The Last Jedi
Unless you are living in a hollow cave in Dagobah, there is a very good chance that you have heard of The Last Jedi – the eighth instalment of the pop culture behemoth that is Star Wars which is all set for worldwide official release this December 15. I’m dead excited like any human being, or droid for that matter, about the prospect of getting to know more about the story that I hold dear, in the galaxy that is …
6 Reasons Why The Last Jedi will be better than The Force Awakens
Without question, the biggest movie of 2017 will be Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Forget Wonder Woman, Fast and Furious 8, and Spider-Man: Homecoming; this will wipe the floor with everything when it comes to sheer buzz, spectacle, and ticket sales.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - The Build Up Begins
It is curious that in a week when Disney’s already gigantic empire looks set to grow further with the purchase of Fox, it is another one of their recently bought franchises, Star Wars, that will be showing any new content the way forward with The Last Jedi, a film that is, in all honesty, likely to break box office records aplenty.

Baby Driver - Movie Review
Baby Driver - Edgar Wright's heist thriller drives to a unique beat of its own precise making.
As I sat down to watch Baby Driver, I had a moment of fear. What if this film disappoints me, if it doesn't meet my unnecessarily high expectations. I only have myself to blame, I've followed the entire progress of this film, since it was announced. I clamoured for every poster, every trailer, because everything about it excited me! I need not have …
Wonder Woman – Movie Review
As the world makes progress and gets increased awareness in the liberal fields and feminism it’s no wonder, pun intended, that Wonder Woman got to hit the big screens.

After “Batman vs Superman” everyone was expecting Wonder Woman to be the next DC-inspired film to fill the theatres. With BvS receiving mostly …
