How 'The Jinx' Makes Making A Murderer Look Like Sesame Street
Last year's Netflix hit Making A Murderer took the world by storm, across 10 episodes, millions were drawn to see the case of Steven Avery and his (proposed) innocence unfold. However, at the end of last year, flying slightly below the radar was a show that makes Making a Murderer look like a pre-school scuffle. Body parts washed up in bin bags, 30 year old disappearances and a man disguised as a mute old woman. From the shadows came the life and deaths of Robert Durst. This is his story...

Hollywood has been in reboot/remake mode for quite a while now.

Kindergarten Cop 2: The Film We Never Need
It is rare that you can say that Dolph Lungren won't be the deciding factor in what kills a film, but will a direct to video/DVD/projector/hologram to 1990's Kindergarten Cop really be that bad? That's right ladies and gentlemen, on 17th March this year, Kindergarten Cop 2 will be soiling diapers worldwide... What's worse is that they couldn't even get Arnie onboard.

Spider-Man Is #TeamIronMan — But Will He Stay That Way?
I've finally had time to fully digest the news that SPIDER-MAN HAS BEEN REVEALED!!!! *ahem* Sorry about that. Just as I had made peace with the fact that he wasn't going to show up in the trailers at all, he finally appeared. After eight years, the moment we all wanted came: Marvel's flagship hero has finally been introduced in the MCU. I had goosebumps all the way through the Captain America: Civil War trailer and my favorite arachnid-themed superhero's appearance was the icing on the cake. We all knew he was going to appear, I just expected to have to wait until I saw the film.

'Agent Carter' Season 2 Overview
This post will contain SPOILERS for Agent Carter Season 2 that you may prefer to avoid. Last year I wrote an overview of Agent Carter Season 1 and the time has come again for me to look back upon the series. I've already said it, but just so you can't shout at me there is a good chance that spoilers will occur. So if you're in the UK and haven't seen it yet, you'd best click elsewhere for now (though come back once you've seen it all).

Middle-earth Is Coming to Amazon Studios
As television networks and streaming services scramble to fill the void that Game of Thrones’ end will inevitably create in 2019, Amazon has taken their first steps to do so—by bringing one of the original fantasy behemoths to the small screen, The Lord of the Rings. In the beginning of November, Amazon announced that they had acquired the television rights for the book series and have a multi-series commitment. While many fans may be worried that this is an effort to remake the well-loved The Lord of the Rings movies from director Peter Jackson, Amazon assures fans that the television series will focus on events that took place before Frodo ever stumbled upon Bilbo’s cursed ring. The deal reportedly is priced somewhere between $200 and $250 million.

Still No Spider Man in the 'Civil War' Trailers! But That's OK!
Apparently, a rather large sporting event took place in America recently. It involved some sort of Superb Owl and a load of dudes in helmets. I am not a big fan of American "Football" (seriously, why is it even called football?) but I digress. During the (many) ad breaks that take place throughout the Super Bowl, there are often trailers for upcoming films or special adverts made specially for this ad break. Because of the HUGE audience, these are some of the most sought after (read: expensive) advertising slots in television, and as such people put a lot of effort into them.
