Rank the Films: Marvel Cinematic Universe


As any regular reader of this blog will know, lists are pretty darn nifty. I have a profound appreciation for straight-up lists. This is the thinking behind Rank the Films, a regular feature that pulls apart the pros and cons of a series of films, ranking them in order of bad to good.

This month, to celebrate the release of Captain America: Civil War this week, I'm revisiting all thirteen Marvel Cinematic Universe films (count 'em!) and ranking them in order from worst to best. 

And yes, this list includes Civil War - I've seen it and I'm including it on my ranking. Where does it rate? What'll come out on top? Well, read on to find out...

Rank the Films: The Hunger Games


As any regular reader of this blog will know, I think lists are pretty darn nifty. I have a profound appreciation for straight-up lists. This is the thinking behind Rank the Films, a regular feature that charts the highs and lows through a series of films, ranking them in order from worst to best.

To celebrate The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 arriving on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, I thought I'd reflect on the The Hunger Games series as a whole. From 2012's promising opener to the morbid final chapter from last November, this is the series ranked from worst to best - question is, where does your favourite rest on my list?

Introducing Marvel Month 2016


With Captain America: Civil War hitting cinemas in just a matter of weeks, I've decided to dedicate a series of posts throughout the month of April to all things Marvel. 

From their highly-successful series of interconnected films to their darker Netflix series of shows, April is once again playing host to a celebration of Marvel's fantastic films, TV shows and characters.

I'll have a review for the latest season of Daredevil as well as speculation on the future of their Phase 3 slate of films and a range of other articles also. Oh, and a bumper review for Captain America: Civil War upon its release of course.

So keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for all things Marvel during Marvel Month 2016! Enjoy!
