WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ve used the term ‘lost trope’ because, for all intents and purposes, it is rare to find a film nowadays where the non-white character is killed off first. Obviously you have the outliers like Scream 2 (and a couple of recent films mentioned below) but I think in a …
Rear Window vs Disturbia
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I’m going to start this by being completely open with you all. I know I usually keep the personally opinion until the end but I went in to this already believing that Disturbia was never going to be as good as Rear Window and I wasn’t disappointed. No, this …
Captain America AKA Chris Evans
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Now, I know what you’re all going to say and that’s that Captain America isn’t the first Marvel hero that Chris Evans has played because he was the original Flame Boy (of my generation anyway).

It’s almost like they have decided to create …
Kiwi Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, there isn’t much more I can say in regards to Kiwi horror than I did for Aussie horror a few months back. Maybe being from the same part of the world has caused this side-effect but as we all you know – you should never compare …
Wolfsbane AKA Maisie Williams
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I think I better get this out of the way here and now as I can’t write an article about Maisie Williams without mentioning Game of Thrones. Like another actress included in the ‘Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes’ section of this blog, this is where Maisie’s career began – …
Singer to Actor: Donnie Wahlberg
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers We’ve discussed one brother already and now it’s time to talk about the other. If it isn’t obvious, Donnie is the older brother Mark ‘Marky Mark’ Wahlberg.

The Beautiful Game – The Second Half
WARNING: This Article Contains Spoilers There have been many times in the football world when you have to just say “You just couldn’t write this stuff”; first that comes to mind is Leicester City winning the Premier League in 2016, having finished the previous season 14th (their first back in the top league after a …
