Vigilantes with skull themed body armour and radioactive mops, as well as a possible new candidate for the role of 007. It seems we have a lot to talk about. First off; Spider-Man may be making a new friend. Oh the irony... Peter Parker's first solo outing since he made the world forget about him. His first without a super-duper, teched-out Stark suit, and he's going up against a vigilante with more ammunition than the US Marine Corp. That's right, Jon Bernthal is said to be appearing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day  as Frank Castle. Do we know what he's doing? Not really, no. Does it matter? Absolutely not! As long as it involves Frank decimating legions of villains with wilful abandon, whilst engaging in hilarious repartee with Tom Holland's Wall-Crawler. This is going to be a lot of fun! We've already enjoyed seeing Bernthal's Punisher  fight with and alongside Charlie Cox's Daredevil , and now he's finally getting the chance to bring the character t...

A mother struggles with her daughter's addiction issues. But when Claire (Sydney Sweeney) comes home claiming to have accidentally killed her boyfriend, Kate (Julianne Moore) does everything she can to protect her daughter.  Echo Valley  is one of those stories that takes a very real and painful scenario and delivers one of the most extreme outcomes. But it begs the question; 'How far would you go to protect your child?' Although I'm quite sure there aren't many parents who would go as far as Julianne Moore's 'Kate'. Her dedication to her daughter is understandably strong, and while it may not exactly be relatable, it is at least believable that a parent would attempt this sort of thing for their child. And at the same time, you find yourself willing her to say no to Claire, even though you know she won't - at least in this instance. Both Moore and Sweeney deliver stellar performances as mother and daughter. Through it all, they are the movie's r...

Three improv actors are hired to do some low level undercover work for the police. But their improvisation leads them to accidentally infiltrate a major faction of London's criminal underworld. Have you ever sat through a movie waiting for the laughs to happen? That's was my experience with Deep Cover . Watching it with a group of friends, I was expecting the room to be filled with laughter, even if it was just at the ridiculousness of it all. But it never happened. There were some occasional smirks, that was it. And having finished watching it, the general consensus was that the movie is "watchable". It's a pretty standard story that aims for the usual sort of laughs. You certainly don't expect a movie like this to reinvent the wheel. However, the impressive cast do a pretty good job of setting the scene without ever trying to properly invest you in the story. Trouble is it's all painfully predictable. There are absolutely no surprises in store. And the a...

They better not fuck this up! That was my first thought when I heard they were developing a sequel to the beloved sci-fi comedy, Spaceballs . I know I'm not alone in this. In fact, I'm sure there are many people thinking exactly the same thing. Probably even more so, now that the hilarious teaser has dropped. After 40 years, we asked "What do the fans want?" But instead, we're making this movie. Nothing is known of the plot, despite Mel Brooks' helpful introduction, but according to Deadline , the sequel has been described "by those who have not yet read the script" as "A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part 2 but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film". Which suggests - rather reassuringly - that those involved clearly aren't taking this too seriously, and that it's highly likely  Disney is going to be the butt of many jokes. That last one being rather important! The trouble is, these legacy sequels can be rather risky. On th...
