Suicide Squad
Movie Review | Matt Looker | 5th August 2016
Here's something that shouldn't be a thing: any director, cast member or studio that says "we made it for the fans, not the critics". Now, I would say that I occupy a space somewhere in between those two clearly very unique and separate positions. I'm an occasional blogger currently writing a review (that, heaven forbid, will be listed on Rotten Tomatoes) but who particularly enjoys superheroes and comic-book movies. So where does the DC party line of 'fans not critics' leave me? I'll tell you where - in the same place as literally anybody else who sees this film: with an opinion, and only that. Obviously, it should be argued as objectively as possible, but for the sake of DC's stance in the matter, let me try to review this like a fan rather than like a clueless critic doing super-serious critiquing on Marvel's payroll. With that in mind, Suicide Squad is a bit rubbs.

Men sit at table in tantalising first-look House of Cards image
TV News | Ed Williamson | 2nd February 2016
Breaking new ground as ever, Netflix has today released this first look at House of Cards season four, confirming that all 13 episodes will consist of President Underwood talking to RoboCop at a table. The sixth will consist entirely of Frank's acerbic asides to camera, such as "Get a load of this bell-end!" It will then be all anyone talks about for a week because it's on Netflix.

RoboCop
Movie Review | Matt Looker | 6th February 2014
As with any remake of a beloved 80s classic, a lot of people will just want to know how similar it is to the original - and none of them are going to be happy, whatever the answer. But then the alternative is to do the sensible thing and judge the film on its own merits, and how do you account for all the elements that have been liberally poached from its predecessor? No, the one and only fair way to critique this remake is to judge it by RoboCop's own Prime Directives.

Trailer breakdown: RoboCop aka the roboplegic wrong-cop
Movie Trailer | Ali | 8th September 2013
RoboCop - he insists you capitalise the 'C' because he's so insecure - has had his system rebooted. Here's your first look at RoboCop 2.0 (or I dunno, 8.1 or whatever, I can't keep up with all the RoboCop sequels and TV series and cartoons) with Joel Kinnaman as the man in the machine and Abbie Cornish as the woman he loves. Let's be honest, this looks exactly how you'd expect a 12A RoboCop movie to look i.e. about as good as RobertCop.

The Killing (US) - season one
TV Review | Alex Gregg | 27th September 2011
One dead girl, an over-involved homicide detective and an investigation set in real time ... sound familiar? Nope, I'm not talking about some weird Hercule Poirot/Jack Bauer mash-up: of course I mean The Killing, AMC's reimagining of the successful Danish show of the same name. Nominated a whopping THREE times at the first Critics' Choice Television Awards, The Killing has just reached its staggering conclusion on Channel 4 and here's what we thought of it.
