1. Review of X-Men: First Class

   5 June, 2011:

   Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class is a welcome return to form for the X-Men franchise after the risible X-Men: Last Stand and the sloppy Wolverine origins story. The ’60s setting allows for a lighter tone than previous instalments but Michael Fassbender’s intensity as Erik Lehnsherr takes the film to some dark places.

   The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

   11 December, 2005:

   Let’s get this out of the way at the start; yes, this film has a Christian analogy in it, and no, it doesn’t matter. Impressionable children are unlikely to notice or be affected by it (which is more or less how it was with the books), and impressionable adults will have made their minds up about the whole thing already anyway, so it’s all OK. Relax, Mrs. Toynbee. Breathe.
