Saturday 10 May 2025 02:00 PM
Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is coming to a close – and some may argue that is a good thing. To be honest both Phase Four and Phase Five have been pretty confusing – there have been characters with origin stories that we have never heard from since and plots from the past that seem to have been completely forgotten.

When it comes to heroes in spy films on our screen it feels like there are two extremes. You either get the highly trained at their job, like Ethan Hunt or James Bond, or you get the bumbling buffoon like Johnny English, who is there for comedic relief.

Take one of the biggest action heroes in modern cinema, Jason Statham (Hobbs & Shaw) and place him in a film co-written by Oscar winning screenwriter Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and directed by the brilliant David Ayer (Suicide Squad) and you would expect something brilliant – right?

When it comes to cinema there is nothing that filmmaker Steven Soderbergh has tackled over the years. From big Hollywood franchises like Magic Mike and Oceans through to alternative films like Sex, Lies & Videotape and the very under-rated Haywire.

In a time period where cinema trailers are often accused of giving away plot points that should have remained secret, it is has been kind of nice to see a trailer released that actually leaves the public asking questions.

As a cinema audience we have been so overloaded with action films over the years that is rare these days that we sit in a cinema in awe of what is occurring on the screen. Yes, maybe it has happened a few times with Tom Cruise’s stunts in the Mission:Impossible films over the years – but outside of that not so much.

Take one of the most exciting directors of our time, Bong Joon Ho (Snowpiercer), and get him to work on a film with one of the most underrated actors of our time, Robert Pattinson (The Batman), and the result should be something special right?

Mixing comedy and horror together is always a risky venture for a filmmaker. Get it right and you end up with a classic movie like Scary Movie or Werewolves Within. Get it wrong and you get a film that is dangerously likely to pick up a Razzie or two.

There is no doubt that Hollywood has programmed audiences to see Artificial Intelligence as a bad thing. While movies like ‘Short Circuit’, ‘Chappie’ and ‘Wild Robot’ suggest the opposite, films like ‘Terminator’ and ‘The Matrix’ are just too powerful at portraying AI as the villain.

It is not an overstatement to say that filmmaker Leigh Whannell is one of the men responsible for changing the face of modern-day horror. His screenplays introduced us to the world of ‘Saw’ and ‘Insidious’ while his directing skills have brought us the fresh and creative ‘Upgrade’ while ‘The Invisible Man’ took him to a whole new level to receive both critical and fan acclaim.

Gone are the days when horror films were just simple’ plotless slice ‘n’ dices with B-Grade actors. Today the genre sees some of the top writers, actors and directors flocking to make films in it ‒ largely due to the fact that you can use the horrors of the paranormal and supernatural worlds  to make some pretty powerful metaphors and statements about the real world.

The modern-day cinematic journey into the Universal Monsterverse has been a rocky one. The Tom Cruise-led ‘The Mummy’ became one of the most unfairly maligned films in Hollywood history while films like ‘Dracula Untold’ barely raised a blip on the radar.

The Sony Pictures Spider-Man Universe finally draws to a close with the release of ‘Kraven: The Hunter’. This is a franchise that has had highs and lows. While the Spider-Man movies have become fan favourites – the Morbius, Madame Web and Venom films have copped some pretty unfair flack.

The original ‘The Lion King’ animation is considered a film classic. Not only was it a film loved by families right around the world but it gave us all a spectacular soundtrack led by the classic tracks ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight?’ and ‘The Circle of Life’ so beautifully recorded by Elton John.
