  • Bad Luck and Trouble: ‘Reacher’ second season heads to Amazon…

    After two Jack Reacher films starring Tom Cruise in 2012 and 2016, which received mixed reviews (decent story and action but controversial casting for a 6ft+ man-mountain of a character), it’s generally conceded that last year’s Reacher tv series finally got all the ingredients of Lee Child’s novels and...
  • Cold Open: Next Ghostbusters to send a chill down your spine…

    Ghostbusters has been a generationally successful franchise – the first movie (released waaaaaay back in 1984) being a landmark movie that still works today.

  • SKY’s ‘The Lazarus Project’ resurrects for second life in November…

    It seems that 2023 is the year for timer-travel. Or was. Or will be.  As everyone knows it’s the sixtieth anniversary of Doctor Who, complete with three specials starting next month and a Christmas adventure for the incoming Doctor. Quantum Leap got a second season, we’ve also had Netflix‘s...
  • Grand Guignol and Gugino: Flanagan helps to ‘Usher’ in a more overt horror…

    Over their long lives, Roderick and sister Madeline Usher have had astoundingly successful careers – they have come from nothing to head an empire with wealth, power, influence and a notorious lack of accountability.  Roderick’s children – with several different mothers over the years – have also seemed to...
  • Continental: ‘Pain’ and Pleasure as everyone checks in or checks out…

    Winston knows time is of the essence and readies his disparate comrades for an all-out assault on Cormac and the assassins of The Continental. But Cormac is equally aware of the dangers and organises a pre-emptive attack. With everyone racing to beat each others and some alliances still not...
