GREETINGS STARFIGHTER! YOU HAVE BEEN RECRUITED BY THE STAR LEAGUE TO DEFEND THE FRONTIER AGAINST XUR, AND THE KO-DAN ARMADA. GET READY! Screened on the Bristol IMAX screen as part of the excellent Forbidden Worlds festival – this tale of a trailer park whiz kid being recruited by an alien to pilot a fighter spacecraft…
It’s tough with these franchises-of-my-childhood getting latter-day instalments, because the key players are all past it and the wellspring of ideas it all stemmed from was long since exhausted. So, the best thing you can say about this was that it wasn’t as bad as the last Indiana Jones film. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character carries most…
Well, that was an antidote to Marvel films, wasn’t it? Best multiverse story outside of Rick & Morty. Bloody staggering. Love love loved it. 👍👍
It was a long night – but once you rewatch Deadpool it’s foolish not to play on. Not sure if the streamed version of this was different to the last one I watched, or whether my recollections differ due to sleep deprivation. At the same time as saying that though…. “shirtcockin’ it” is still a…

I’ve been a fan of Jean DuJardin’s OSS117 films since seeing “Lost in Rio” in 2010 with Hannah & Paul, and it’s been a bit of a hard sell to bring other people on this ride with me… but me ol’ chum Wazza the Irish fella (who speaks French and lives in I think Portugal?)…
For a futuristic virtual-world story this one came off as quite fresh & original – I wonder if any of the cracks in the story were papered over by the legion of little pop-culture references buried (and more overtly placed) throughout? I remain baffled as to how in the hell they got Mark Rylance involved…
What a weird film! I think we got drawn into this by seeing Alexander Skarsgard on a chat show and selling the idea so fully. And yet when you watch it you find yourself thinking, “Well, this isn’t what I thought this was going to be”. Great prodiction values for an epic story – however…
