The Suicide Squad (2021) Review

The first thing to note about James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is that it is better in every imaginable way to David Ayer’s disastrous 2016 effort. Rather more surprisingly however, is just how good Gunn’s film is when compared to the rest of the DC superhero movie pantheon. It’s a gross-out splatter-fest, earning it’s 15 rating in almost every minute of run time, but with a big ol’ heart underneath all the guts and gore. It’s not entirely perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun and is undoubtedly the DCEU’s best movie yet.

Doctor Who – Series 10 Rewatch and Review

Series 10 marks the end of an era for Doctor Who in a big way. Not only was it the end for leading man Peter Capaldi, but it was also the final series for long-time showrunner Steven Moffat – as well as all the usual writers and directors that had made his era so iconic.

It’s (still) up for debate as to how successful this shake up has been, but it undoubtedly makes this series feel far more final than any other in the revived series.

Doctor Who – Series 9 Rewatch and Review

After finding his footing in the previous series, Peter Capaldi returns to the role of the Doctor with a slightly different approach. The grumpy, harsh Scottish man has gone, and we’re left with a Time Lord who’s more akin to a fun, spacefaring uncle. He’s a bit wackier, his outfits reflect this, and he seems to be having more fun.

Jenna Coleman’s Clara is also back for the ride, though she is destined not to survive the series.

Doctor Who – Series 8 Rewatch and Review

So Matt Smith is gone and in his place we have an old, angry Scottish bloke. It’s a real heel turn for the character of the Doctor and really helps to keep things fresh, and it doesn’t hurt that Peter Capaldi appears to have been born to play this role.

Still travelling with Clara, the Doctor spends much of this series coming to terms with the man he is.

Doctor Who – The Specials (2013) Rewatch and Review

Following the cliffhanger ending of the seventh series, Doctor Who had two specials before the next series could begin. The first of these is “The Day of the Doctor”, which is still the biggest thing the show has ever done. This was followed at Christmas by “The Time of the Doctor”, which saw Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor take his final bow.

Doctor Who – ‘The Eaters of Light’ Review

Classic Doctor Who writer Rona Munro is behind this weeks episode ‘The Eaters of Light’. Featuring Roman centurions, Celtic warriors, light devouring beasts, and the fabulous Nardole, do all the elements come together to create a good episode?

Doctor Who – ‘Empress of Mars’ Review

Mark Gatiss Doctor Who efforts can range from some of Doctor Who’s best episodes to some of it’s worst.

Now he’s back, once again with classic villain The Ice Warriors. But is ‘Empress of Mars’ more ‘The Crimson Horror’ or the universally despised ‘Sleep No More’?

Doctor Who – ‘The Lie of the Land’ Review

So the ‘Monks Trilogy’ comes to an end and it’s been a wild ride. Each episode has been interesting and varied.

Does ‘The Lie of the Land’ reach a satisfying conclusion? Or is it a bit of a mess?

Doctor Who – ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’ Review

A great follow-up to last week;s stunning episode. Some things are a little silly this week but by the last few minutes you will have forgotten all about it.

Also Brian from ‘My Parents are Aliens’ almost kills us all.

Doctor Who – ‘Extremis’ Review

The Doctor and friends go all Robert Langdon this week when he’s asked by the Vatican to investigate an ancient book that makes its readers commit suicide.

So just another day for The Doctor then. And yeah, he’s still blind.
