I’m a simple man who enjoys simple pleasures, and as such, a movie like Osiris should be right up my street. William Kaufman’s indie sci-fi...

When you really boil it down, the ending of Trigger, like the show itself, is a conflict over two competing ideologies. This theme is made...

Trigger has a fascinating and provocative dystopian premise, which imagines Korea awash with free, easily accessible firearms. The only man fighting against the tide is Lee...

The central idea of Trigger is that a lot of people are just waiting for the opportunity to shoot someone. Based on the shooting rates...

Nobody would argue that the ending of Red Eye Season 1 makes a great deal of sense. You can trace the plot particulars, obviously, but...

Richard Armitage was built for streaming. Stick this guy in a ropey thriller with any concept you like and he’ll do a halfway decent job...

Buddy cop comedies used to be ten-a-penny, and a lot of them were great – Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, 48 Hours, Tango & Cash, the...

I’ve had more problems with Murderbot than most, but you have to give credit where it’s due. I was right, at least, in my prediction that the...

You’d need both hands and at least half a foot to count all the cool stuff in Leviathan, Netflix’s anime adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s World...

Even if it wasn’t my job, I’d still find myself watching a movie like Ziam. As played out as zombies might be these days, the...

As a self-important critic, I’m very much a champion of films being Very Serious works of illuminating art intended to expand our horizons and fundamentally...

I never thought The Old Guard was as good as everyone else seemed to. It was fine, don’t get me wrong. It had kinetic hand-to-hand...

And just like that, it’s over. Feels weird, doesn’t it? Ironheart debuted with the first three episodes, and the ending arrives just a week later....

The segment of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon that opens Episode 8 of Murderbot goes on for so long that I genuinely worried that it would constitute the entire 22-minute runtime.

You have to wonder what Marvel Studios is hoping for with Ironheart. I’m a professional film and TV critic, and someone had to tell me it was out.

I could not help but have a slight smile during my screening of F1 The Movie, seeing fans donning outfits for their favourite motor racing...

You can make a lot of simple declarative statements about Episode 7 of Murderbot.

You judge Scott Adkins movies on a curve. There’s no point worrying about plot or dialogue or even acting, at least not the showy awards-baiting...

I often wonder–though the answer is obvious–why live-action remakes of animated movies are made. From an artistic perspective, you could argue that the merit is...
