Dune and Frank Herbert’s Dune
Chris Woods penned this review. It’s a surprisingly long time since Frank Herbert’s Dune was first published. I read it in the mid 1970s and had assumed it was new then. Although it’s possible the UK publication lagged a little, … Continue reading

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
I decided to watch Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse as a diversion while on an extended stay in the hospital for the first of my such visits for staphylococcus infections. I expected it to be entertaining, and I was right! It’s been a … Continue reading

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man
With great power comes great responsibility. It’s the guiding mantra behind one of the 20th Century’s greatest heroes. But before he was a hero, he was a young man. A confused teenager like every other, with a crush on the … Continue reading

Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man
