Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Is The Best One Yet

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is the best Mission: Impossible film yet as the franchise launches the seventh film. We’re getting deeper into the franchise, which begs the question: in what way will Tom Cruise outdo himself on the stunt front? Cruise is always seeking to push the boundaries in terms of stunts. We saw this during his free climb of Burj Khalifa in Ghost Protocol even though he was safely attached to…

What If…?: Animated Series Depicts A Different MCU

Marvel Studios’ What If…? takes what we know as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) but delivers the animated action with a twist. The series draws on the Marvel Comics anthology series of the same name. Like the comic series, this is also an anthology series. We revisit key moments of the MCU through the eyes of Marvel newcomer Jeffrey Wright, who voices The Watcher, and see what would happen had characters done A instead of…

Blinded by the Light Is Now Available

Blinded by the Light, featuring a heavy Bruce Springsteen soundtrack, is now available for fans to bring home following January’s Sundance premiere.

Avengers: Age of Ultron – The Road to Endgame

Avengers: Age of Ultron is the penultimate film of Marvel’s Phase 2 and paves the landscape for phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This film is every bit as epic of an installment as the initial team-up in 2012.  Since the collapse of S.H.I.E.LD., the Avengers have been busy at work in defeating H.Y.D.R.A.  This time, they’re taking out Baron Wolfgang von Strucker’s (Thomas Kretschmann) base in Sokovia.  It just so happens that this…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier – The Road to Endgame

Sundance 2019: Blinded by the Light

Aided by the sounds of singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, Gurinder Chadha’s crowd-pleasing Blinded by the Light is rocking good time. Javed (Viveik Kalra) stands in for real-life journlist Sarfraz Manzoor in telling the story of a Pakistani Brit in Luton who became a Bruce Springsteen super fan in 1987.  Springsteen’s music played a tremendous role in helping the writer to find his voice.  He was someone who exercised his creativity by way of poetry without his…
