The Americans: Travel Agents Review

The first is an exciting KGB vs. FBI pursuit of everyones favorite unwitting secretary turned mole Martha. The second is essentially a marriage drama in which Clark is forced to finally break up with Martha. Both aspects of the episode work on their own but the sum isnt equal to the parts. Travel Agents feels more like two distinct blocks rather than one cohesive narrative. attempt to think of how many times a character has flat out run inThe Americans....

How Better Call Saul stepped out of Breaking Bad’s shadow

Better Call Saul has developed into a TV drama every bit as compelling as its predecessor, Breaking Bad. Not to mention the world class direction and beautiful cinematography.

Star Wars: what we learnt from Force Awakens’ deleted scenes

Ad content continues below Canon or not, meagre or otherwise, who cares? Does she not trust them? Perhaps she believes them to be incompetent? A great little scene and one for my money that should have stayed in. Theres no doubt that Han Solos tragic demise in the films finale leaves theStar Warsuniverse a significantly emptier place. More than anything else though, its the cocksure smugglers verbal jousts that will be most widely missed....

Christopher Nolan and his impact on comic book movies

Comic book movies are getting darker and grittier in some quarters. That’s down to Christopher Nolan, right? Well, not quite… The word gritty would be used. Thus, goes the theory, comic book movies and blockbusters in general are favouring dark and gritty. My own personal frame of reference is, as ever,Doctor Who. This meant Nolan had free reign to reboot. Thus, Nolan decided a good way to achieve realism was to significantly ignore the comics universe....
