Clear your schedule. It’s superb. Given the influx of superhero films, sequels and PG-13 friendly fare, it’s rare that an action film has enough punch and power to make an impact on audiences.

The documentary features people involved in the tragedy and will be of interest to fans of the excellent TV series.

Just one of the many issues in Season 8… In terms of things in Westeros that have holes in them, the list is quite extensive. There’s Rickon Stark who was turned into a human pincushion by Ramsay Botlon at the Battle of the Bastards. Yara Greyjoy’s fleet had more holes in it than a sieve […]

Excellent book, excellent show. Set record. In many ways, it’s fitting that George Clooney will be directing and starring in the upcoming adaptation of Joseph Heller’s seminal novel because to many, the Oscar-winner first came to prominence on the small screen.

If you watched the show, this is a must.

A few months ago, the tech giants unveiled the design for a new TV, called ‘The Wall’, and they’re […]
