Gene Hackman is not well-known for his neurotic, somewhat paranoid or even timid roles. The Conversation showcases that side of Hackman though and he is fantastic. He plays a man employed by individuals or corporations to get evidence and recordings … Continue reading The Conversation (1974) Review
This month we review a selection of movies from Empire’s 100 Greatest Movies list. Today is Number 74: Mulholland Drive. All the ingredients seem to be there for a fantastic mystery thriller. A girl with amnesia, a keen wannabe actress, the … Continue reading 100 Greatest Movies Month: Mulholland Drive (2001) Review
I review a whole season rather than individual episodes, so there is a chance of spoilers. If you haven’t watched the whole season yet, stop reading now! When The X-Files left our TV screens in 2002 it felt like unfinished business. The final … Continue reading The X-Files (Season 10) TV Review
I’m very excited that The X-Files is back! I re-watched them all in the recent past and rekindled my love for the show, not realising at the time that the people behind the series were planning on bringing the show back … Continue reading What I want to see in The X-Files this January

If The X-Files had made its tv debut in 2012, I genuinely believe it would have been cancelled after season 1. It’s not that season 1 is particularly bad, it just doesn’t really feel like The X-Files that I was obsessed with as a kid.

It does have elements of that but only hints of it. … Continue reading The X-Files (Season 1) TV Review
