Dynasties will debut in the autumn. Controversial opinion here, but David Attenborough makes really good nature documentaries.

The 13-part series, which attempted to chronicle the history […]

Director James Gunn was removed from the project in July. For my money at least, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are secretly the best thing the Marvel Cinematic Universe has to offer.

2018’s scariest movie. Even if you haven’t seen it, you’ve heard that Hereditary is the scariest film of 2018.

From Stringer Bell to 007? A new James Bond is always a mixed bag of emotions. The sort of thing that, good or terrible, will seem to symbolise an era. It will be infinitely debated, thousands of euros will be placed on it at the bookies, and no matter who is picked, will definitely not […]
