Indulge me and cast your mind back to 2006. Raven Software released the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance to a pre-iPhone world. Nobody knew what a streaming service was, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a mere twinkle in an executive’s eye, not a Disney-owned media juggernaut, raking in nearly $3 …

To infinity and beyond is not an ethos anyone wants applied to the Toy Story movies. The original trilogy is nigh-on perfect, with 2010’s Toy Story 3 (only the third animated film to date to score a Best Picture nod) putting an impeccable cap on the story arc shared by …

Well, that’s it. Game of Thrones is over after eight years, and I don’t blame you if Game of Thrones season 8 leaves a slightly bad taste in your mouth. While it has its good moments, most of this season is simply too rushed, with characters taking minutes to make …

Despite a torrent of scathing reviews and some extremely meme-able editing, Bohemian Rhapsody (opens in new tab) was a commercial smash, banking close to a billion worldwide and bagging an Oscar for its leading man Rami Malek. It set a high bar for Elton John biopic Rocketman, starring Taron Egerton …
