Black Panther (MCU 16)
This film. Really. Everything about this film is wonderful. I firmly believe T’Challa is one of the greatest MCU heroes. He is confident, without being cocky. He is humble when appropriate – in the...

Thor: Ragnarok (MCU 17)
And so we complete my top 5 favourite MCU movies. The change in tone from the earlier Thor films can be summed up in one moment: the use of Led Zeppelin for the opening fight. I love this film a lot....

Ant-Man and the Wasp (MCU 18? or 19?)
So we watched this after Infinity Wars, but in retrospect that was stupid. The argument is that because the mid-credit scene happens in the Snapture, this should be watched between the two Avengers...

Avengers: Infinity War (MCU 19)
It’s taken me ages to write this review because… once you’re through, it has felt like there’s not much to say. So this isn’t going to be the most comprehensive of reviews. The opening is awesome:...

Terminator 1-3
I don’t remember how but we got started talking about the Terminator movies. One thing led to another, and suddenly we own all of them on DVD (trust me, it didn’t cost much), and we’re watching them...

Terminator Salvation and Genisys
I was thinking that I should review Salvation, Genisys and Dark Fate together, because then it’s two trilogies, in a sense… but then, no. Because Dark Fate definitely gets its own post. Therefore, a...

Terminator: Dark Fate
I MEAN. Just. I mean. What a film. I love T2, and I really enjoyed Genisys, but this… this is another league. Mostly, I love Sarah. I really, really love Sarah, and what she represents: I love that...
