When it comes to Marvel’s cinematic universe (MCU), you’re probably a lover or a hater by now. The likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor have enjoyed a huge amount of exposure in the big screen in recent years – and together they’ve changed the face of cinema. But Marvel is now looking to introduce a few of ...

Film review: Ted 2 (15)

Before making my way to Boston’s West End Cinema, I wasn’t really convinced there was any need for a Ted sequel. Sure, the 2012 original, starring Mark Wahlberg (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Mila Kunis (Jupiter Ascending) and the voice talents of Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) was a pretty good laugh. But the novelty of having a walking, talking, living and ...

Film review: Terminator Genisys 3D (12A)

I’ve always thought that a generation of film fans show a degree of snobbery when it comes to the more recent Terminator sequels. Sure, Rise Of The Machines (2003) and Salvation (2009) never really reached the lofty heights of cult classics The Terminator (1984) and T2: Judgement Day (1991). But I certainly don’t think they are bad films. Indeed, I ...

Film review: Minions 3D (U)

I’m probably in the minority here, but prior to watching Minions on Thursday I had little or no knowledge of what they actually are. The curious yellow blobs are absolutely everywhere, be it starring in TV adverts or featuring in ridiculous memes on social media. Hell, there’s even a blow-up Minion in The Spalding and South Holland Voice office. Having ...

Film review: Entourage (15)

It was hard to watch Entourage without feeling a little bit like I was the new kid at school. Here’s a film born from the popular HBO series (2004-11), which followed a family-like group of friends that moved to Los Angeles after one of them hit the big time. Having not seen the show, it almost seemed a shame to ...
