Outrageous, silly fun that probably should have just left it at that

FILM REVIEW: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon deliver yet another funny journey on "The Trip To Spain"
Byrdon and Coogan return with their delightful blend of the comedic and the culinary. In this case, The Trip to Spain delivers precisely what we’ve come to expect from the series. Beautiful scenery, amazing food and a couple of weather beaten male comedians who flit between self-deprecation and vanity.
FILM REVIEW: "American Made" Only Gives Cursory Nods to the Humour In American Bullshit
American Made subsists on the fumes of jaunty cynicism and glibness despite its potential as something greater: a searing, dark comedy. Its title is perhaps the cleverest and most honest thing about it, implying a kind of sleek superficiality which permeates this film.
James Cameron's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" Returns to the theatres in 3D
Judgement Day is a historic accomplishment, one that merits a proper re-watch, not a mere piecemeal revisit through scenes on YoTube or TV
Who's the best Defender? We rank every Marvel Netflix show: From Worst to Best
The Defenders will see three widely beloved street-level heroes - Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones - and Iron Fist teaming up to, presumably, defend. This is as good a time as any to rank each and every one of the Marvel Netflix shows.
The Stylish "Atomic Blonde" Never Comes Together, Is Maddeningly Inscrutable
Stakes. Character. Exciting action. Boom. For a few minutes, one of the guys who directed John Wick, David Leitch, took full command of his movie. It was beautiful if brief, and the only thing about Atomic Blonde worth remembering.
Film Review: "Valerian & the City of a Thousand Planets" is a dazzling, hollow spectacle
Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets (hereafter Valerian) is a technically proficient movie with a plot you can't care much about.
Spoiler Nation: Could we finally get a Tyrion and Jaime reunion? Debriefing Game of Thrones 7x04, “The Spoils of War”
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”.
Spoiler Nation Podcast: Debriefing Game of Thrones 7x03, "The Queen's Justice"
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.
Film Review: Christopher Nolan rejuvenates the war film genre with "Dunkirk"
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 is a Slick Weepy
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: an existential saga lacking in humanity
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

Spoiler Nation Podcast: "Alien Covenant", "Wonder Woman", "The Mummy", and why movie franchises fail
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?
