Infinity War has finally arrived, marking the culmination of ten years of planning (and 18 cinematic releases) from Marvel Studios.

After all, the majority of today’s film media spends so much time talking to (and about) famous […]
Being a film fan in the English regions can often feel frustrating. Unlike the music industry or even the literary world the talent you so admire rarely visits.

Awards season. That unapologetically back-slappy period where society’s richest and most privileged come together to reward each other with golden statues.
