  Our Favourite Directors  To celebrate hitting 1000 views, we thought we would each dive into our five favourite directors. With so many great choices available there’s a good chance these lists could change day to day, but right now, here are each of our favourites! 1. Taika Waititi Taika Waititi is undoubtedly one of the most in-demand directors in current cinema, but I’m going to be honest, like a lot of other people, my first introduction to Waititi’s work was through 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok. Waititi’s ability to completely revitalise the Thor franchise, which was otherwise bland and largely considered to be the worst of the MCU titles, into a vibrant comedy that embraced the craziness of its source material within the first five minutes of its’ runtime is something to be marvelled at (excuse the pun). His work outside of the land of superheroes, however, is even more impressive. Oscar-winning Jojo Rabbit is a touching, yet absurd, film set in Nazi Germany that highlights t...

The Suicide Squad Review By Emily Hubbard Is this the best superhero movie ever made? James Gunn finds the perfect balance between humour, heart, and gore 5/5 cameras 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥 - Directed by: James Gunn - Starring: Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Viola Davis (and SO many more) - Where to find it: In Cinema Now No Copyright Infringement Intended   You could be forgiven for thinking that the movie market has been oversaturated with superhero content in 2021, what with the amount of Marvel Disney+ shows, films, and even Amazon Prime’s more adult-targeted superhero content.

The Blair Witch Project (1999) did it with the ‘found footage’ genre of horror films, and Jaws (1975) did it for monster blockbusters. With the superhero, or rather super-villain, genre in this case, that film is THE Suicide Squad   James Gunn’s take o...

  Slither Review By Calum Whitfield Kooky mid-2000s horror-comedy staring Nathan Filion and Elizabeth Banks plays out as a homage to horror through the ages, but is this B-movie throwback an A-class picture? 4/5 Cameras 🎥🎥🎥🎥 -Directed By: James Gunn -Starring: Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, and Gregg Henry -Where to find it: Amazon Prime Copyright Infringement Not Intended James Gunn is an interesting filmmaker. Best known these days for big-budget superhero blockbusters like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies as well as the recent Suicide Squad. But before his mainstream breakthrough James Gunn started his directorial career with an interesting little film called Slither. Slither flopped on arrival but is a film that deserves to be looked at again as it is, in my opinion a treasure. Slither follows the residents of a small town in South Carolina. When a meteorite crash-lands nearby a sentient alien parasite is released and begins to take over the community b...
