Stranger Things and the immense weight of fan expectations
From Stranger Things to Game of Thrones, fans increasingly demand endings on their terms. The final season of Stranger Things arrived at the end of 2025, accompanied by immense anticipation following nearly a decade’s worth of build-up. The feature-length finale dropped on Netflix on New Year’s Eve 2025 and received a passionate response from fans. For many, it delivered a bittersweet sendoff…
100 Words or Less – Avengement (2019)
Title – Avengement Released – 2019 Director – Jesse V. Johnson Starring – Scott Adkins, Craig Fairbrass, Thomas Turgoose. Review – One of my favourite things is when a talented team take a super trashy concept and elevate it. From the title to the cast, you think you know what you’re getting in this British crime actioner. But it’s so much better than that! The action here is crunchy and…
100 Words or Less – The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Phantom Train of Doom (1999)
Title – The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Phantom Train of Doom Released – 1999 Director – Peter Macdonald Starring – Sean Patrick Flanery, Ronny Coutteure, Paul Freeman. Review – This Young Indy adventure came bundled with the original three films when I received the VHS box set in the 90s, so I always just considered it equally canon as the Harrison Ford trilogy. And it holds up! The…
Companion (2025) Plus/Minus Review
When we (the creative ramblers) think of a companion, one thing that comes to mind is our trusty pooch, Fifi. Here she is. Ain’t she a doll? But for others, the simple love (and judgment) of a lil pup isn’t quite enough, and they seek something more: A human friend, a human lover, or maybe something a little more dangerous. Speaking of danger, this isn’t quite your normal review. It’s what I’m…
Train Dreams (2025) Review
“He felt, at last, connected to it all.“ Denis Johnson’s 2011 novella Train Dreams is a quietly epic and occasionally surreal story of the life of Robert Grainier, a self-described hermit who works on the American railroads around the turn of the 20th century. It was a beautiful and powerful piece of Americana and I absolutely loved it. So I was intrigued, and admittedly a bit worried, when I…
Eddington (2025) Review
“We need to free each others hearts.” Eddington is the latest film from A24 royalty Ari Aster. His films Hereditary and Midsommar helped turn the indie film studio into a household name (well, in the houses of cinephiles anyway). He was also a key player in the ‘elevated horror‘ genre of the last few years – a term which is a load of crap but is a shortcut to saying horror which is more…
100 Words or Less – Wild Card (2015)
Title – Wild Card Released – 2015 Director – Simon West Starring – Jason Statham, Michael Angarano, Milo Ventimiglia. Review – Not at all what you’d expect. The poster suggests typical Statham action but our bald hero and reliable director Simon West craft something a lot more colourful. The film is basically a weirdly episodic day in the life of Las Vegas bodyguard Nick Wild (not the one…

100 Words or Less – Dead Birds (2004)
Title – Dead Birds Released – 2004 Director – Alex Turner Starring – Henry Thomas, Nicki Aycox, Isaiah Washington, Michael Shannon. Review – After a bloody robbery, a group of Confederate deserters hole up in an abandoned plantation, waiting to split their gold. And it doesn’t let up from there. Dead Birds does a lot with a little thanks to a reliable cast of actors and great cinematography,…

100 Words or Less – Sympathy for the Devil (2023)
Title – Sympathy for the Devil Released – 2023 Director – Yuval Adler Starring – Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman Review – A driver is stuck with a terrifying passenger across one neon-soaked night on the Las Vegas outskirts. Thanks to a surprisingly tight and clever script and an all-out Cage performance (after a few acclaimed but subdued roles), Sympathy for the Devil is far more engaging…

100 Words or Less – Hardwired (2009)
Title – Hardwired Released – 2009 Director – Ernie Barbarash Starring – Cuba Gooding Jr., Val Kilmer, Michael Ironside, Tatiana Maslany Review – Hardwired is a cheap sci-fi film with clever ideas and a sprinkle of low-grade cyberpunk. Gooding Jr.’s Luke Gibson wakes from a coma following an accident to find he’s been implanted with a microchip. With no insurance, he’s saddled with intrusive…

Inside No. 9 – The Top Nine Episodes
Over 49 episodes, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have made the definitive anthology show. One episode might be the scariest thing you’ve ever seen, the next might be kitchen sink drama, and the next might see a flatulent and German Steve Pemberton evacuating his bowels into a shoebox. Which makes ranking them difficult. The show has a few constants. Every episode takes place in one…

Mycreativeramblings' Alternate Academy Awards 2023
The Oscars this year were surprisingly great. However, I feel there were a few omissions...
The 95th Academy Awards are upon us. Last night, on March 12th, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) celebrated the exciting year of cinema that was 2022. And for the first time in a number of years, there seemed to be genuine excitement for this year’s event. Last year, the 94th Academy Awards saw a mixed bag of films from 2021 nominated,…

The X-Files (Seasons 1-4) The 5 Best Episodes
Check out my list of the top 5 episodes of seasons 1-4 of the X-Files. I think there may be a few surprises in there (although I can reveal now that there are no episodes featuring demonic kittens)...
“The truth will save you, Scully. I think it’ll save both of us.” The X-Files is one of most daring and unashamedly insane shows on mainstream TV of the last 50 years. I started watching it months ago and I am slowly but surely making my way through the entire thing. I know this is slow going, and it’s not that I don’t want to binge it, but I am enjoying the show so much that I don’t want it to…

Doctor Who - 'The Power of the Doctor' Review
My quick review of 'The Power of the Doctor'. I loved it, and thought it avoided a lot of the mistakes of the Chibnall era.
Tag, you’re it! Like the rest of the Chibnall era, ‘The Power of the Doctor’ was messy. But I’m very happy to say that it didn’t really matter at all. Aside from a typically long-winded plot, Doctor Who fans were gifted a ninety-minute extravaganza that celebrated everything that makes the show great. There were the obligatory fanservice moments, but ultimately, I can’t remember the last time I…

All V/H/S Segments Ranked - Worst to Best
Before the release of V/H/S/99, I've tried to rank all 16 segments. It was tricky! But only one was ever going to come out on top...
With the V/H/S franchise, producer Brad Miska aimed to combine two mainstays of the horror genre: found footage and the anthology format. The hook here is that every grainy segment is written and directed by different people – often the biggest names in horror. And it’s a wild ride, with each film offering a mix of scares and gore. It’s tailor-made to be watched at one in the morning with…

The Lord of the RINGS: The Rings of Power - First impressions / Episodes 1 and 2 Review
The Lord of the RINGS: The Rings of Power – First impressions / Episodes 1 and 2 Review
Firstly, thank you to Jack and Tom for letting me host this review here. People have asked about my opinions of this show, so I thought I would spend the time to properly articulate my thoughts. There is a lot to like, and a lot to dislike. ***SPOILER WARNING*** for everything under ‘The Likes’. Everything under there will spoil the first two episodes of the show, and will reference events from…

'Batman - One Bad Day: The Riddler' - Review
‘Batman – One Bad Day: The Riddler’ – Review
Back in 1988 there was a little comic released called The Killing Joke, written by Alan Moore. It redefined the character of The Joker and has gone on to become one of DC’s all-time biggest comics, never going out of print. Within the pages of that story, The Joker says: “All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one…
