Luther Season Finale Review: “Series Three, Episode Four”

The finale of Luther is always explosive. The end of of series two, with the culmination of those psychotic twins terrorising London as part of a demented role-player game, was a stroke of genius. This time around we don't get quite so many twists and turns, receiving instead a fistful of emotional impact.

Glenn Close Confirmed To Play Nova Prime In Guardians Of The Galaxy

Marvel have confirmed the start of production on Guardians of the Galaxy and that Glenn Close has officially been cast as Nova Prime, a character usually seen as a male. This is another instance of James Gunn's interesting spin on how these characters are going to be portrayed on screen and leads me to believe that they're going to have to pull out all the stops if they are going to come anywhere close to the numbers that The Avengers achieved.

Edgar Wright Confirms Hank Pym For Ant-Man

Ant-Man, directed by Edgar Wright (who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Cornish), has been gestating for almost as long as the current iteration of the Marvel universe has been extant. There's been a draft floating around since 2010, when Edgar Wright had enough info to confirm at that year's Comic-Con that the film will be an action film "with humourous elements", and one that "didn't work with Marvel's chronology" to fit into The Avengers.

J.J. Abrams And Alfonso Cuarón’s Upcoming TV Show Believe Looks Pretty Good

Alfonso Cuarón is a busy man. Not content with dazzling the audience at Comic Con by showing off the new footage for his upcoming film Gravity, he also stopped by the panel for NBC's Revolution to unveil another snippet he kept hidden up his figurative sleeve - news of a collaboration with all round genius J.J. Abrams on a new TV show for NBC called Believe.

Luther Review: “Series Three, Episode Three”

This review is a little delayed because I'm just trying to gather myself after the events of this week's Luther. It certainly has nothing to do with the excellent weather we're having, and the fine selection of ales available at the many pubs in my town. No way. It's all about this episode or, rather, the end of this episode. It's shattering. Think less typical cop drama, more Game of Thrones-type shit. Pure fucking heartbreak.
