Collateral is a Netflix Limited Series, together with the BBC2, using just four episodes to tell the story. A pizza delivery went wrong, as the delivery man is shot leaving the house…was it a murder? A targeted hate crime? Or was it somehow tied to a Labour Party member? The show is quick paced and an …

Alias Investigations, with Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), vigilante superhero, and Malcolm (Eka Darville), the cleaned up druggie, running it, are dealing with the dumbest …
Wakanda has a new leader after King T’Chakas death in Captain America: Civil War and a new Black Panther has been throned in his son T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman). But no leader can be in power without some challenges from some noteworthy people. Like Klaue (Andy Serkis), a man who has stolen from Wakanda in the past and …
Disney Pixar’s Coco may not have been nominated last night for Best Picture Award at the Oscars, but it was by far the best movie I’ve watched from 2017. Coco won two awards at the 2018 Oscars, Best Animated Film and Original Song for “Remember Me”. Every year on Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) families tell …
