When you look at the filmography of director John Hillcoat, it’s easy to see how he ended up at Triple 9.

Triple 9 is a tome almost dedicated to the nihilism of […]

Walking into the cinema to see Deadpool is a surreal experience in itself. Not just because it’s a movie based on Deadpool, not just because it’s Fox finally expanding on their incredibly underused X-Men license, but because Deadpool is effectively the last great sin of modern comic book movies being atoned for. This is, after […]

Rocky Balboa is one of the great champions of the big screen. Not a hero, a champion – his story is one of overcoming adversity and challenging himself endlessly before ultimately paying the price. The original Rocky resonates so much because it’s such a no-frills adaptation of that classic tale of overcoming one’s own personal […]
