Gladiator is a timeless film that never needed or warranted a sequel, so perfect and wonderful in its execution that even the mere thought of doing a follow-up to it would be a mammoth task, up steps original director Ridley Scott to build on what many class as one of cinema’s ‘perfect’ films. No pressure…

Earnest but unremarkable, the movie…
Introduced on Japanese television in 1966, Ultraman went on to not only become a hugely recognizable icon in its native land, but transcend borders and cultures, becoming an international pop culture phenomenon in his own right. It’s not hard to see why, given that the character is driven by a strong, unwavering sense of duty…
Universal Studios UK is looking more and more likely to happen as a recent press release from the company indicates the multiple benefits the project will bring to the United Kingdom.

Directed by Richard Linklater, from a script adapted by the award-winning filmmaker and star Glen Powell, Hit Man was one of the best movies to land at the Venice Film Festival last year — and certainly the most purely enjoyable.

After a very questionable third instalment, Bad Boys Ride or Die 4DX redeems itself from its predecessor but still remains a little non-sensicle in a variety of places despite remaining funny, relevant and as high-octane as ever.
