‘F9: The Fast Saga’ (2021) Review
‘F9 : The Fast Saga’ (2021) Review: Big & Boastful. It’s hard to think of a film series with more humble beginnings. What began as a gritty exploration of underground street racing, has evolved into a spy action adventure franchise with the kind of special effects one used to expect
‘Cruella’ (2021) Review
‘Cruella’ (2021) Review: Emma vs Emma Of all the Disney villains in history, there are none quite so devious as Cruella De Vil. Royal traitors like Jafar and Scar take the prize for most ambitious, but there’s a particular black heartedness to planning the murder of a hundred adorable puppies
‘The Mitchells Vs The Machines’ (2021) Review
‘The Mitchells Vs The Machines’ (2021) Review: 21st Century Family In high school, the thing to talk about with the same passion and fervour that I spoke about seeing ‘The Godfather’ for the first time at 12, was football. I distinctly remember trying to fake my way through conversations about
‘Army of the Dead’ (2021) Review
‘Army Of The Dead’ (2021) Review: Roll of the Dice Making a movie in a beloved genre is a tricky thing. Mostly because those genres come with a set of rules. Depending on how you view it, these rules can be a beneficial guide, or a restricting hindrance. Adhere too
‘Mortal Kombat’ (2021) Review
‘Mortal Kombat’ (2021) Review: Press X to Skip As a kid, I had only one view of Mortal Kombat. That it was a hyper violent game that would certainly corrupt me and possibly take away my soul. This of course was not the case, as I remain uncorrupted and soulful.
‘Godzilla vs Kong’ (2021) Review
‘Godzilla Vs Kong’ (2021) Review:Best Frenemies Forever What a strange ride it’s been. It started out with a historic remake of a beloved classic, one that painstakingly refrained from showing its titular titan, and strived for an authentic aesthetic. As noble an attempt as this was, it ended up being
‘The Harder They Come’ (1972) Review
‘The Harder They Come’ (1972) Review: A Classic Sitting In Limbo When you hear about the greatest films of all time, you will inevitably come across a few typical names. Taxi Driver, The Godfather, Chinatown to name a few. Films that examine their setting with a critical eye, and give
‘Attack The Block’ (2011) Review
‘Attack The Block’ (2011) Review: A Would Be Classic Back in 2011, one of the biggest movies in the world for film buffs was ‘Attack The Block’. There was no escaping it. Every website, podcast, or personality associated with film would not shut up about it. The rest of the
‘Coffee and Kareem’ (2020) Review
‘Coffee and Kareem’ (2020) Review: Weak Tea. I’ll be honest, I never really gave too much attention to Netflix films. It’s an old fashioned notion, but I could never shake the perception that they were released on streaming services because they weren’t good enough to be released in cinemas. That’s
‘The Last Thing He Wanted’ (2020) Review
‘The Last Thing He Wanted’ (2020) Review: The Long Letdown. As the cinemas continue to be closed and new movie releases remain retired, streaming platforms have had to fill the gap. This week, I caught up with one of the newer Netflix only releases that had everything going for it
