‘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
‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ (2019) Review
‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ (2019) Review: You Can Take The Spider Out of New York… It might seem unbelievable, but back in the days of the early 2000s, superhero films were a rare breed. Good ones, even rarer. Mostly they were a collection of films that were graded on a
‘Sprinter’ (2019) Review
‘Sprinter’ (2019) Review: Goes For Gold For many reviewers, talking about independent films is a bit of a struggle. Often times, they aren’t as polished as your typical cinema fare. That’s either a result of a next to nothing budget, or startling inexperience of the filmmakers. Yet despite their shortcomings,
‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ (2019) Review
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) Review: The End? Imagine a superhero film that has all of the characters you’ve known and loved for over a decade, coming together for an ensemble film unlike anything you’ve seen before, for one stunning conclusion. If you thought of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, you could hardly be
