Hot damn. The shortest episode in GoT history is also easily one of the most epic, rivalling Hardhome and the Battle of the Bastards in terms of pure fantasy spectacle. Howie and Rhys break down the latest Game of Thrones episode, “The Spoils of War”.
On the latest Spoiler Nation podcast, we had a lot of fun sinking our teeth into the subtle and big moments of this week's Game of Thrones episode, The Queen's Justice: Ice and Fire are brought together for the first time, revenge is a dish most poetically served with drops of poison, and Bran acts like a damn creepy weirdo.
With Dunkirk, Nolan is able to make the audience feel the anxiety and desperation of the soldiers, rather than rely on graphic imagery to remind us how depraved war is.
A Monster Calls feels like a good concept that was never massaged into a narrative that makes use of the full weight of its elements.
A Ghost Story takes a cosmic scope, but I can’t help feeling that it could have been so much pure and meant so much more if the lens was microcosmic. A study of grief and loss of love with grounding by Rooney Mara’s solar-plexus thumping performance would have been a brilliant thesis statement in its honest simplicity
Winter is well and truly upon us and we have previewed a number of films as part of the 2017 VOLVO Scandinavian Film Fest. Get down to Luna Palace to see some incredible pieces of Nordic cinema.
Here are the most interesting bits of film and tv news/footage/tidbits from this year's Comic-Con.
A unique combination of archival footage and rotoscope animation, Tower recreates the 1966 mass shooting that took place at the University of Texas.
In Part 2 of our Revelation Film Festival roundup, we review documentaries "Working In Protest" and "You've Never Had It: An Evening with Charles Buckowski"
Cult director Sofia Coppola makes her return after the mediocre Bling Ring with a re-imagining of the 1971 classic, The Beguiled.
But is it any good? (Spoiler: it's pretty damn good)
Snap reviews from the Revelation Film Festival
Our Spidey senses are tingling: Our definitive ranking of all six Spider-Man films, from worst to best.
Sequels. Cinematic universes. Movie franchises. Call it what you want, but for avid cinephiles or casual moviegoers, this is the reality we have to live with now. What makes some movie franchises successful, and what makes others flaming bags of garbage?
The VOLVO Scandinavian Film Fest is back again for another year and we are running a very special giveaway.
We're more than half way through the year already, but it's not all bad. Here our top picks to see at the cinemas this month!
The best thing about "Meal Tickets" is that we're privy to a group of young, dumb, full-of-cum dreamers slowly acquiesce to being one of the millions who never got their big break; there's a raw poignancy to that, a unique quality which makes this 90 something minute documentary worth the price of a ticket.
In Transformers: The Last Knight, the freak show has been toned down; there's precious little human bile forced down your throat this go around. Heck, there's even some attempts at respectability. Which is boring and nullifies the series' proudly nihilistic juvenile identity.
So, it's awful.
Wonder Woman is very much a coming-of-age movie about plunging into the deepest horrors of the world with hope -- and a grin, and with compassion.
While Chapter 1 was preoccupied with building its world by inundating us with specific rules that its characters have to abide by, "John Wick: Chapter 2" threatens to blow it all up by showing us what happens when those rules get broken.
