Yes, I too am concerned that the cyclops and Scylla will be historically inaccurate
Now the debut trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is out in the wild, age-old debates about “historical accuracy” have reemerged.

The most stressful time in my entire working life was having to break up a fistfight on the floor of HMV between two guys over the last Wii Fit.

Enjoyed WAKE UP, DEAD MAN a lot. Perhaps my favourite of the Blanc whodunits so far thanks to Josh O'Connor's terrific performance, and a nicely twisty mystery that has a pretty satisfying conclusion. One of these films every two years is a genuinely great thing. Here's to many more.

Del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN is very patchy. Incredible performances, particularly Elordi who nails the Creature in a way I haven't really seen since Johnny Lee Miller. But some dodgy CGI animals, and an overly sentimental final third really really do test your patience.

The original version of Speak No Evil. Absolutely loved it, but jesus christ, what a bleak, bleak film.
Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.
