Review: James Bond - Spectre

James Bond is back with this long-awaited follow up to Skyfall. But are we in 007th heaven with Spectre...?

I've been waiting for this one. Ever since catching Casino Royale, the first Bond film I saw, on TV and then seeing the premiere cinema showing of Skyfall, which turned me from a casual viewer into a fledgling fan, I've felt that Daniel Craig's Bonds were the best (minus Quantum of Solace, of course). And Spectre - named after Bond's arch-nemeses in the 60s - looked set to be the biggest and best one yet.

Review: Marvel's Jessica Jones


It's time to take a look at Marvel's latest female-led TV series. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jessica Jones...
While there is a lot of talk about the oversaturation of comic book films and TV around at the moment, I don't see this as a problem as long as the film/showmakers keep finding new ways to explore the genre. For instance, two of my favourite comic book adaptations of the year are the aforementioned Agent Carter, which gave us a period spy caper set in a superhero world, and now Jessica Jones which finally delivers the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first female superhero but is as far from the typical superhero story as you can get.
