24 S09 E02 – Recap
Straight in with episode 2. I love that 24 does big season openers with multi episodes. The hunt for Jack begins and there’s dissention in the CIA ranks as not everyone is happy with Kate being re-instated to help with the search. We’re reminded that, not only was she the only one who knew Jack…

24 S09 E01 – Recap
And we’re back. Split screen action from the outset as we’re wandering around an East London market until it cuts quickly into a CIA field office. I’m immediately confused as to what Agent Sarah Walker is doing in London… Especially without Chuck. The show wastes no time throwing Jack straight into the middle of a fight.…

Game of Thrones – S04 E05 First of His Name
This week’s episode seemed again to be more filler than killer. Although there certainly was a fair amount of killing towards the end. We begin with the coronation of King Tommen the ‘how long will this one last’ and at this point I’m finding the phrase ‘Long may he reign’ to be more of an…

Game of Thrones – S04 E04 Oathkeeper
Any episode of Game of Thrones that starts out with a quiet conversation between two characters is obviously trying to lull us into a false sense of security. So, I’m immediately on my guard as a subdued scene between Grey Worm and Missandei takes place. It segues quickly into the overthrowing of yet another city…

Game of Thrones – S04 E03 Breaker of Chains
This week’s episode dispenses with a Previously… in favour of picking up where the last episode left us: staring at the bloodied corpse of the winner of this year’s “Much More Likeable Now He’s Dead” award, King Joffrey the Purple. Tyrion is arrested as Sansa is led off by Joffrey’s fool, narrowly avoiding being arrested…

Game of Thrones – S04 E02 The Lion and The Rose
Judging by this week’s Previously… it would appear that all the things I thought were notable by their absence last week are due to be addressed this episode. From the off, we get to catch up on what’s happening with poor old Theon Greyjoy, or Reek as he now appears to be called. Obviously we,…

Game of Thrones – S04 E01 Two Swords
And with a ‘Dun Dun, Da Da Dun Dun, Da Da Dun Dun, Da Da Dun Dun’ we’re back. A rather long ‘Previously…’ this time round, going all the way back to poor old Ned Stark’s rather extreme migraine treatment back at the tail end of season 1. The reason for taking us back this…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
After the almost pitch perfect performances of the preceding movies of Marvel’s phase two, surely it’s about time for a mis-step? Given that Captain America: The First Avenger was, in my humble opinion, one of the weaker phase one movies. I must admit that I went in to this movie prepared to be severely disappointed. However,…

The World’s End
Okay… Before you all hunt me down through my IP address and stab me, please know that I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I also love pretty much everything that Pegg/Frost/Wright have ever even sneezed on. So, please don’t take the things I’m about to say as meaning that I think they are shit/should die/will never…
