The Awakening is a haunted manor house story from the horror subgenre that brought you classics like The Others, The Haunting, The Innocents and The Woman In Black, and while not perhaps as striking and memorable as those films, it works well as a post-WWI drama about loss and trauma, and also managed some decent[...]

I even saw some [meta] on twitter about reviewing biases and reliability in comics  It's sometimes easy to nod your head and move on in reaction to a review, but something about that rarefied point of view on display in this piece makes it a bit more likely you'll put your own two cents on[...]

If you’re tempted to see Weekender, Karl Golden’s E’s and Wizzorama, then I urge you not to do so with a row of alleged bit-part cast members. I say

They've also done a review podcast which should be up around now… So, what do we have? Stormwatch #1 by Paul Cornell and Miguel Sepulveda. Possibly the most disappointing of the first week of titles A title steeped in Warren Ellis, and Micah Wright Stormwatch, this feels like the blandest possible reinterpretation of those comics[...]

If DC keeps making comics like this, then any lingering fears about this new relaunch are alleviated for me instantly.  The bar has been set, and the battle to keep these characters around for future generations has begun.  I for one look forward to what comes next. For those keeping up with[...]

“The most sensational criminal endeavour of the century” remains one of its most deliciously callous comedies. If there’s more to nobility than kind

Dominic Frisby has recently had "the best week of his life" during a trip to Ireland and while he was there, he bought himself a ticket and saw The Guard:

During The Devil's Double, Uday Hussein, the lunatic son of President Saddam, abducts a quiet, even-tempered sergeant from his own army and forces him to

There's a twentieth century experience that I'm unfamiliar with, personally that is. Watching the television or listening to the radio in the belief that

But at the end of the day (and by that I mean at the end of the review) it's a comedy that makes people laugh, and I call that a success. 7/10 Is your boss a sex-crazed maneater? How about a slave-driving psycho? Or perhaps a sleazy tool? My boss is Brendon, so I'm going to[...]

I don't know about you but, for me, just the thought of a collaboration between JJ Abrams - director of surely the best reboot of them all, Star Trek -

Michael Moran writes for Bleeding Cool: Most people who read comics know at least the basics of the story. A puny 90lb weakling is transformed by a unique

Adi Tantimedh writes for Bleeding Cool: US cable channel Starz were holding preview screenings of the first episode of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY in cities across America on Tuesday evening, and I went over to the one in Downtown New York at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema, a rather nice Cineplex showing independent and arthouse films like Terrence[...]

As I mentioned earlier in the review, the film is a slow-burner and viewers with a short attention span might struggle to stick with it through to the end But screw them, this film is everything British indies should be: unique, tightly scripted, beautifully shot and with characters that will[...]

Michael Moran writes for Bleeding Cool: Fanboys have ruined the funnybooks. And they’re ruining the movies too. I should know. I’m a fanboy. The

I can't take The Watcher seriously anymore. I mean I'm not sure I used to anyway, but I definitely don't now. I can't even take the ones in Fringe

But here I find myself reviewing two comics that seem steeped in Vertigo, yet not published by them. And yes, talking about Brightest Day #23 in this way I'm going to have to use spoilers And that means spoilers beyond the last page posted yesterday as well. Not that you'd see the Vertigoness straight away It's colourful[...]
