Watching Sneakers in 2018 reminds you of how much has changed and how much has stayed the same.

They say a picture tells a thousand words, so really this review should be a picture of my face as the credits rolled on The Boxtrolls. However, I don’t know how acceptable that would be to my editor, or the readers, so around a thousand…

For me, my favourite superheroes end up being The Big Three (Batman, Superman, Spider-Man) and then the rest get to fight for my attention at the level just below. I've always loved The Incredible Hulk, because I grew up with the TV show…
