‘X-Men’ Movie Marathon: Part II

Welcome back! You’re in for a treat, folks, as two of the three X-Men movies within this part of the marathon are within my “Top 3 of the X-Men Film Franchise” – Days of Future Past and Logan, obviously.   “The best since X2!” – Fans, 2014 My god, the above is/was disgustingly true. Days of Future Past was an absolute joy to watch. The concept of linking the heroes of the original X-Men trilogy … Continue reading ‘X-Men’ Movie Marathon: Part II

‘X-Men’ Movie Marathon: Part I

From 2000’s X-Men to this year’s Logan, over the past 3-4 weeks I have completed a marathon of 20th Century Fox’s most prolific superhero film franchise. TRIVIA: Logan is the only X-Men film that I have watched in the cinema. Initially, Mumsy possessed the desire to watch Days of Future Past, though she had not previously watched First Class, or properly watched the original trilogy; however, she had seen the trio of Origins: Wolverine, The … Continue reading ‘X-Men’ Movie Marathon: Part I

Sorry I’m Late: Thoughts After Watching ‘Star Wars 7’ or ‘The Force Awakens’ or Whatever…

Afternoon. Yes, I’m pretty late when it comes to watching Star Wars 7 – I was meant to see it on opening day (even bought tickets!), but something cropped up, and I’ve been either too busy or not in the mood to watch it since – this changed on Tuesday.

I’m Not Hyped About ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’

Man of Steel was okay (my brother really dislikes it). The Dark Knight trilogy was very good. Now, I am an avid comic book fan – I have first issues, first appearances, graphic novels, single issues of importance etc. etc. Also, I am a fan of both Batman and Superman, in film, cartoon, and comic. However, I’m not overly hyped about the new movie. Why, Dom? Why? Firstly, … Continue reading I’m Not Hyped About ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’

What if ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ is pure sh*t?

Yes, what if the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is pure shit – shit like Attack of the Clones? Imagine the mass hysteria it would cause. The Force Awakens is the most anticipated movie of 2015, and probably the most anticipated in years. This is massive. This is the first Star Wars sequel. The hype surrounding this movie creates high expectations, as one would presume. “Original trilogy” cast … Continue reading What if ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ is pure sh*t?
