‘Warcraft’ (2016) Review

Warcraft (2016) Review:Don’t Believe The Hype* *(Non-Existent) Just as 2015 seemed to be the year of the spy, 2016 is apparently the year of the video game movie. Already we’ve had an Angry Birds movie, and later on we’re going to be treated to an Assassin’s Creed film. Those two

‘The Nice Guys’ (2016) Review

The Nice Guys (2016) Review: Action Comedy At Its Finest Being a big movie fan, you tend to hear certain names pop up now and again. There’s the usual like Spielberg, Cameron, Kubrick, Tarantino. Those are sort of introductory level names. As you go a little deeper though, you hear

‘X-Men Apocalypse’ (2016) Review

X-Men Apocalypse (2016) Review: Uncannily Boring X-Men has never been my favourite superhero franchise. As action movies, they’ve had a few stand out moments here and there, and as superhero movies, there haven’t really been characters to follow besides Wolverine who kind of ran his course. That is of course

‘Barbershop: The Next Cut’ (2016) Review

Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016) Review: Fresh & Sharp When I was a kid I used to watch shows that were created for the sole purpose of getting across some message. Don’t raise your voice, read your bible, eat your vegetables. Back in the day, the message was always crystal

‘Mother’s Day’ (2016) Review

‘The Jungle Book’ (2016) Review

The Jungle Book (2016) Review: New Old World. Remakes have always felt weird to me. They exist because of a desire to update an old story for a new audience, but only get made when the old audience still has nostalgia for the old story. Right there you run the

Captain America: Civil War (2016) Review: If It Ain’t Broke… It’s the first weekend of May and while that might not actually be the beginning of summer, it is the start of the blockbuster summer season. Coming our way weekend after weekend are movies with big budgets that hope to

‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ (2016) Review

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Review: I Think I Hate Superheroes Now. The very first review on this blog is for Zack Snyder’s ‘Man Of Steel’. In that review, I compared the development of a new ‘Star Wars’ movie as being just as ambitious as bringing Superman back

’10 Cloverfield Lane’ (2016) Review

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) Review: There Be Monsters. Back in the old days of…2008, there was a little movie called ‘Cloverfield’. ‘Cloverfield’ was a found footage film that told the giant monster movie from a much different perspective. It’s heralded today as one of the best movies to use the
