‘The Martian’ Review (2015)
The Martian (2015) Review: Cast Away. In Spaaaace. Ridley Scott is an interesting director to say the least. While his beginnings of ‘Alien’ and ‘Blade Runner’ cemented him as a sci-fi great, Scott’s curriculum vitae is as broad as the xenomorph’s skull. He’s done a war film in ‘Black Hawk Down’, a
‘Black Mass’ (2015) Review
Black Mass (2015) Review: Strictly Criminal Crime films are quite possibly the most conflicted genre of cinema. Here you have films that depict the most gratuitous acts of violence, moral depravity and disregard for the rules that society has agreed to align themselves by. Their characters use foul language and
‘The Perfect Guy’ (2015) Review
The Perfect Guy (2015) Review: Evil Ealy Stalker movies are a special breed of horror. While most horror films take a supernatural element and then go from there, stalkers tend to be less fantastic. Sure you have slashers like Halloween and Friday the 13th, but those always end up morphing
‘Transporter: Refueled’ (2015) Review
Transporter: Refueled (2015) Review: Running On Empty This summer saw quite a few fourth and fifth franchise iterations. There was ‘Jurassic World’, the spiritual sequel to the original 1993 epic, but still the fourth film in the series. ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ saw the return of a franchise long thought
‘Hitman: Agent 47’ (2015) Review
Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) Review: Shoot to Thrill Video game movies are plagued by mediocrity. Every attempt at producing a film based on the interactive art form has done nothing to appease those who say it simply can’t be done. The end result is always a half assed attempt to
‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E’ (2015) Review
The Man From U.N.C.L.E (2015) Review: Sleek, Stylish, and So-so. 2015 seems to be the year of the spy. Just last month Ethan Hunt and co. returned to perform their rather difficult assignments, in one of my favourite films of the summer. In as little as 3 months Daniel Craig
‘Straight Outta Compton’ (2015) Review
Straight Outta Compton (2015) Review: Need Watch Again When it comes to biopics, they’re kind of the perfect combination of filmmaking. You take a character with a story interesting enough for a 120-minute run-time, and you imbue the legitimacy of being a true story. Suddenly your film has an immediate
‘Ricki and The Flash’ (2015) Review
Ricki And The Flash (2015) Review: Rockin’ Past Closing Time Ever since chief Brody blew up Bruce the shark and Luke exploded the Death Star, the summer has been reserved for the less thoughtful productions. This is the time of year where Optimus Prime and company typically mull about with
‘Southpaw’ (2015) Review
Southpaw (2015) Review: Fall, Box, Grow, Repeat The sports movie is truly special. There is no other genre of cinema that has prospered despite having changed mostly nothing in the decades it’s been around. The plot points are predictable, the characters are paint by numbers, and you can even pinpoint
‘Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation’ (2015) Review
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) Review The Mission Impossible franchise has always had something to prove. The first film was an action movie based on a television series from 30 years prior, striving to find it’s own footing amidst an established mythology. The second was a follow-up to what was a surprise hit and
