‘Ghost In The Shell’ (2017) Review
Ghost In The Shell (2017) Review: Easy On The Eyes, Hard To Watch ‘Ghost In The Shell’ is the long awaited live action adaptation of the Manga of the same name. Set in the not too distant future, its world is refined and uninviting. Instead of clamouring for the latest
‘Power Rangers’ (2017) Review
Power Rangers (2017) Review: Flawed, But Fun When the 5 teenagers we’ve come to know and love finally don their armour, the evil Rita Repulsa remarks how cute it is that they finally have their super suits and dinosaur robots. She says this with an irony that is present all
‘Beauty And The Beast’ (2017) Review
Beauty And The Beast (2017) Review: Magic Brought To Life Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is the latest animated classic to get the live action treatment. While some might see it as a soulless cash in on nostalgia, others will revel in the chance to see a new spin on
‘Kong: Skull Island’ (2017) Review
Kong Skull Island (2017) Review: The Bigger The Better The eighth wonder of the world is back in theatres this week. I can’t count the number of times King Kong has graced the silver screen, but ‘Kong Skull Island’ is his latest, but not the greatest. This modern take on
‘Logan’ (2017) Review
Logan (2017) Review: A Superhero Movie Your Dad Will Like. 2009 saw the release of ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. A movie that has been called one of the worst superhero movies of all time. By me. Several times. Despite that movie’s critical failure, there was the release of ‘The Wolverine’ back

‘John Wick Chapter 2’ (2017) Review
John Wick Chapter 2 (2017) Review:John Wick and the Terrible, Murderous, No Good, Very Bloody Day It’s easy to think that originality in Hollywood is dead. Case in point: Lego Batman. A movie based on a line of toys, based on a comic book character. The cynic in me wants
‘Split’ (2017) Review
Split (2017) Review: Half Good/Half Bad After you’ve been called the Spielberg of a new generation, it’s hard not to fall below expectations. Still, M. Night Shyamalan fell pretty far. ‘Split’ aims to be a return to form for the once celebrated director. A genuinely interesting concept. It’s about a
‘Hidden Figures’ (2016) Review
Hidden Figures (2016) Review: Far Too Light I wasn’t around for the 1960s, but everything I’ve seen from the time period confirms two things. It was a great time for NASA, but a bad time for black people. Worse if you were a black woman. Never do you get a
‘La La Land’ (2016) Review
La La Land (2016) Review: No School Like The Old With 14 Academy Award nominations to its name, it’s hard not to walk into ‘La La Land’ affected by the hype. That hasn’t happened since Jack and Rose sailed the ocean. To Celine Dion no less. La La Land also
