UPDATE - Future Reviews, Editorials, and More!

I don't think I've ever actually taken the time out to make some kind of update article as to what the future of this website and its respective YouTube channel holds, but I'd also like to thank all my viewers/readers for actually taking the time out to watch/read what I thought of a film, TV series or audio drama. So yes, thank you.
As for the updates, well I am hoping to see Ant-Man within the next week, and now with 7 free weeks (including a holiday, alas) video reviews might come more frequently. They go through phases of being released, and I understand that you're all long-overdue Arrow: Season 3, The Flash: Season 1 and Iron Man 2 reviews. Basically, the problem I have all comes down to actually writing these reviews. The Iron Man 2 review was all on-track until I read the review script aloud while recording and realized that the whole script was poorly structured and almost incoherent, funnily enough akin to the film itself. When I have A) the time and B) the motivation I'll look at my draft and re-write the whole thing. The Arrow: Season 3 review is written, and I'll try and proof-read that soon, and I still have yet to write a review for the first season of The Flash - both shows are very difficult to talk about, albeit for very different reasons. I also had a Constantine review planned when the "Save Constantine" campaign was going on, but regrettably didn't have enough time to make it, and before I could the series was officially cancelled. There are rumours as to a John Constantine appearance in Arrow: Season 4, so if this were to happen I'd try and get one done just to complete the DC TV Shared Universe reviews. I suppose I could also review Gotham, but in all honesty its a tough show to actually review not knowing what the whole thing is actually about in the first place.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Fantastic Four (Fant4stic) are films I want to see, so might well do video reviews of those, and I have a Doctor Who: The Unquiet Dead review to edit and release at some point, so bear with me on that.
I would also like to make an editorial at some point, but I'm not entirely sure how popular or difficult to make those would be. I have some topic ideas, but for now I'll leave it. I'd like to do some Top 10's at some point, for Doctor Who and maybe Marvel (although a Top 5 Batman films in 2016 would be good to try), but I'll see how it goes.
I really do enjoy making these reviews, despite some complications, and I'm very proud of how far they've come. I'm very happy with this year's movie reviews, and I think this format will stick for a while yet. I also hope you all enjoy this new video review format, and understand that sometimes editing like that can very difficult, hence some delays. Thank you for reading, and I'll see you guys next time!

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - Movie Review

Image
The Mission: Impossible franchise has experienced a mixed reception across its four prior installments, with the most popular being 2011's Ghost Protocol. I'm not entirely with the series, only that its pretty much Tom Cruise and co pulling off dangerous missions with some cool action and a catchy theme music, although I did end up watching Ghost Protocol one random night. Despite this, I have very little recollection of the actual film, and it obviously didn't leave much of an impression on me. Suffice it to say though that Rogue Nation is the first Mission: Impossible film I saw the trailer for, liked the look of and went to the cinema to see it, and my expectations were pretty reasonable - cool action, good stunts and an entertaining watch. I guess I got what I expected. The story follows the disassembling of the IMF, while Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is pursuing The Syndicate - a rogue nation that causes havoc across the world. Hunt teams up once again with Benjamin Dun

Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor (2022) - Review

And with that, the Thirteenth Doctor's era has come to a close. It's easy for regeneration stories to be overshadowed by the programme's future - understandable given the show's constant change and renewal - but suffice it to say that The Power of the Doctor makes for a fitting conclusion to this era of the programme. Kicking things off with a heist on a space train, we're reintroduced to the Cybermasters, returning from The Timeless Children back in Series 12. It's good to see them return, even if their ultimate roles in the narrative serve mainly as cannon fodder more than anything else. Their Cyber-converted planet, which I'd speculated to Gallifrey, was a nice idea even if it served as a backdrop to the events unfolding rather than playing a significant role. Quite why Ashad and his Cyber Warriors were brought back, other than fan popularity, I'm not sure. An off-hand comment about the Master cloning Ashad doesn't quite resolve the character'

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - Review

The phrase "I'm shook" springs to mind. Ten years after Marvel Studios released their first independent motion picture ' Iron Man ', the studio brings together (almost) all of their superhero characters into one enormous event film - ' Avengers: Infinity War '. Bursting at the seams with characters, ongoing arcs and a narrative sprawling across space, can the team behind ' Captain America: The Winter Soldier ' and ' Captain America: Civil War ' pull it off? Short answer: no, of course they can't. But they do a pretty great job trying. ' Avengers: Infinity War ' is a film perhaps lacking in character development all round, so much so that many characters feel like special guest stars in a film focused on bringing everything together. If there is a main character here, it's Thanos - played via motion-capture by Josh Brolin - on his journey to find all of the Infinity stones. The Russo brothers have compared this to a h
