News
▸ The biggest film news this week was the announcement of the Golden Globes, which kicks the awards season into a new gear. With their very passionate opinions, Daniel and Chris dissect the night's best moments and all of the winners.
▸ We all know how the model works: a film is slightly successful (or very successful) and the studios decide to capitalise on this and create a sequel. So now we have 20 'Fast And Furious' movies and a second 'Pacific Rim' film - and now, even the very mediocre ‘Bright’ has been confirmed for a follow-up on Netflix. So why do we keep getting sequels to generally considered bad movies?
▸ This week saw the release of a controversial new book about the inside of the White House during Donald Trump’s first year in office. A fake except of this book has since gone viral, explaining Trump’s obsession with a non-existent 24 hour Gorilla Channel. Which got us thinking - what 24 hour channel would you like to see come to fruition?
