‘Onward’ (2020) Review
‘Onward’ (2020) Review: My Magic Brother The world of ‘Onward’ is the familiar mixed with fantasy. On the one hand you have all the usual signs of modern day city living, but on the other, the creatures often seen only in the books of Tolkein. It’s a world where magic
‘The Invisible Man’ (2020) Review
‘The Invisible Man’ (2020) Review: A Clear Classic 2018 saw the release of an amazing action film called ‘Upgrade’. Initially I reviewed it as being “some of the most imaginative, fun and wildly expressive” action I’d seen in a long time. Sadly, since ‘Upgrade’ there hasn’t been anything to quite
‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ (2020) Review
‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ (2020) Review: My Friend Sonic Movie trailers are a funny thing. They’re meant to get you hyped, but there’s a balance to making a good one. Show too much and you ruin the movie. Show too little, and there’s nothing to get excited about. Show your character
‘Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)’ (2020) Review
‘Birds Of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)’ (2020) Review: The Merc With Make-Up I think Harley Quinn just became my favourite superhero. This isn’t exactly a new development. The character has been a cult favourite since her first appearance on the Batman Animated Series, all the
‘Dolittle’ (2020) Review
‘Dolittle’ (2019) Review: Talking To No One 2020 is not even a month in and we already have not only one of the worst movies of the year, but a strong contender for a spot on the worst of decade list. Yet unlike so many films as bad as this
‘1917’ (2019) Review
‘1917’ (2019) Review: A Walk Through Hell From the moment I first saw the trailer for Sam Mendes’ 1917, I was intrigued. In it, the main character is running towards the camera and suddenly the film is cropped to only be seen through the text “1917”. It was a neat
‘Bad Boys For Life’ (2020) Review
‘Bad Boys For Life’ (2020) Review: Ride Till I Can’t No More In the 25 years it’s existed, I’ve never seen a film from the ‘Bad Boys’ series. If you asked me the names of the characters, I would have said “Fresh Prince & Martin”. Still, even with my limited
‘Underwater’ (2020) Review
‘Underwater’ (2019) Review: Jawlien When Martin Scorsese compared superhero movies to theme park rides, he did so attracting the ire of fans the world over. Though his comments weren’t unfounded, I couldn’t help but find them reductive. A theme park ride has little to no story, character types instead of
‘Maleficent Mistress of Evil’ (2019) Review
‘Maleficent Mistress of Evil’ (2019) Review: Guess Who’s Coming To The Castle. Full disclosure: I have not seen the 2014 film ‘Maleficent’. When it came out I was more or less unenthused by the concept. It seemed like a film no one asked for, and there were far more interesting
‘The Addams Family’ (2019) Review
‘The Addams Family’ (2019) Review: To Die For I know we live in a world where everything that’s old becomes new again, but I’m honestly surprised there’s a new ‘Addams Family’ movie. Beloved franchise aside, surely there comes a point where the creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky family stops being
