#309 - Event Horizon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My close, personal friend Paul WS Anderson makes his much awaited return to the show. The consensus the second time around from the skeptics? He's still doing pretty good! Event Horizon has garnered a significant cult following post its rocky box office debut and these days is considered as one of the best efforts of the director. A sci-fi horror tale that strongly embraces its inspirations and still carves out a path of it's own, the film does all it can to stun its audience even after being gu
#308 - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mask of the Phantasm is perhaps the most famous Batman movie outside of the live actions yet it remained a gaping hole for each of us on CE until last week.

Question Of The Week: What is your

Jessica Chastain stars as a fresh faced agent tasked with the impossible but armed with any amount of human rights violations to get it done. A brilliant supporting cast brings tension and excitement to even the quieter tradecraft scenes in the film balancing out the equally enthralling action throughout. We sing our p
#305 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oh that me? Pure aura. Press tours, polyester edits and a hunger for Tom to return as Spidey on our big screens after a 5 year drought has created the worlds newest and fastest billion dollar movie. No multiverse, no surprise cameo's, a world of quality. Holland and friends play their characters better than ever, and new comer Sadie Sink is fierce in her role introducing the next era of the MCU. The film walks a fine line of getting caught up in the past and being overstuffed however just like i
