’24: Live Another Day’ Episode 12: ’10pm-11am’ review

Twelve episodes sooner than normal, we reach the end of the latest season of 24. Live Another Day has been an experiment from the off – a twist on the formula designed to breathe new life into the show and hopefully extend the longevity of the franchise for future seasons – and as we reach … >

’24: Live Another Day’ Episode 11: ‘9.00pm-10.00pm’ review

Rather neatly actually airing between 9pm and 10pm on Sky1 tonight, we’ve reached the penultimate episode of 24: Live Another Day and, while it’s been an entertaining ride pretty much throughout its abridged run, it’s only in the past few weeks that the bar has really been raised. It’s been the introduction of Cheng Zhi … >

’24: Live Another Day’ Episode 10: ’8.00pm-9.00pm’ review

24: Live Another Day is moving at a frantic pace now. With only two episodes to go, this hour provides more plot points, action and reveals than perhaps all the previous combined.

’24: Live Another Day’ Episode 9: ’7.00pm-8.00pm’ review

’24: Live Another Day’ Episode 8: ’6.00pm-7.00pm’ review

After last week’s explosive episode, Hour 8 of Live Another Day is a far more subdued piece of television, but it’s equally as effective.

’24: Live Another Day’ Episode 6: ‘4.00pm-5.00pm’ review

The streamlined episode order means that the plot has moved along at a snappy pace, and many of the pitfalls and traps that usually derail a season that has twenty four episodes to fill have been excised. Unfortunately Hour Six sees … >

‘Penny Dreadful’ preview

The horror genre has always been most closely associated with the medium of film, but in recent years it has made long over-due in-roads into television. The ratings behemoth that is The Walking Dead has proved that horror in the long-form format of television can be hugely successful, while other shows like American Horror Story, … >

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ movie review

The first Captain America film set itself apart from the rest of the Marvel franchise by being essentially a period piece, with most of the action taking place in the 1940s. The second instalment finds itself firmly rooted in the modern day and the real world, perhaps more so than any other Marvel film to … >

‘Godzilla’ first preview and Gareth Edwards Q&A highlights

It’s been over 15 years since arguably the most iconic monster in cinema history made an appearance on the big screen. But the less said about Roland Emmerich’s big budget attempt to drag the mutated giant lizard into the present day, the better – it was a near total failure, and doesn’t hold up well … >
