My favourite film directors, in no particular order, are Terry Gilliam, James Cameron, Michael Bay, Danny Boyle, John Woo, Tony Scott, and Ridley Scott. Zack Snyder is one of those directors I should love, he creates big, bold movies that are audacious, and which...

Captain America Civil War is the latest Marvel film, and on paper, like most of the Marvel movies, it shouldn’t work. Let’s do the math. The first Iron Man starred a washed up Robert Downey Junior and was directed by John Favreau who’s only other...
