‘Ghostbusters’ (2016) Review
Ghostbusters (2016) Review: A Funny Kind Of Awkward Whatever happened to remakes and sequels? I realize I’m about to argue the artistic integrity of a practice that involves recycling the same stories. I know that’s not a winning stance to take, but in my eyes, these movies used to at
‘The Legend of Tarzan’ (2016) Review
The Legend of Tarzan (2016) Review: As we reach the middle of the summer blockbuster season, I think it’s time to acknowledge: This is a really weird summer. After the explosive way it began with ‘Captain America: Civil War’, week after week has been a constant stream of movies that
‘Finding Dory’ (2016) Review
Finding Dory (2016) Review: Just Keep Feeling I’ve now reached a point in my life where the unnecessary sequels that are being made are based off of movies that I saw in their initial release. The feeling of a beloved story that may be muddled by the cash grab disguised as the
‘Kingston Paradise’ (2016) Review
Kingston Paradise (2013) Review: Glory & Grit The Jamaican film industry is not overburdened by choice. The adage best equipped to describe it is quality over quantity. With such a small group to choose from, it’s not difficult for viewers to set one film as the standard of all Jamaican
‘Warcraft’ (2016) Review
Warcraft (2016) Review:Don’t Believe The Hype* *(Non-Existent) Just as 2015 seemed to be the year of the spy, 2016 is apparently the year of the video game movie. Already we’ve had an Angry Birds movie, and later on we’re going to be treated to an Assassin’s Creed film. Those two
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows’ (2016) Review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) Review:And Into The Trash Of all the properties in the world, I can’t imagine why this one has staying power. It’s name alone is a jumbled mess of concepts, thrown at the viewer with the subtlety of a freight train. It
‘The Nice Guys’ (2016) Review
The Nice Guys (2016) Review: Action Comedy At Its Finest Being a big movie fan, you tend to hear certain names pop up now and again. There’s the usual like Spielberg, Cameron, Kubrick, Tarantino. Those are sort of introductory level names. As you go a little deeper though, you hear
‘X-Men Apocalypse’ (2016) Review
X-Men Apocalypse (2016) Review: Uncannily Boring X-Men has never been my favourite superhero franchise. As action movies, they’ve had a few stand out moments here and there, and as superhero movies, there haven’t really been characters to follow besides Wolverine who kind of ran his course. That is of course
‘Barbershop: The Next Cut’ (2016) Review
Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016) Review: Fresh & Sharp When I was a kid I used to watch shows that were created for the sole purpose of getting across some message. Don’t raise your voice, read your bible, eat your vegetables. Back in the day, the message was always crystal
‘Mother’s Day’ (2016) Review
Mother’s Day (2016) Review: Sorry, Moms. I can’t fault a movie like ‘Mother’s Day’ for existing. It’s a two hour greeting card put to film that stuffs all the faces that mothers like seeing. Julia Roberts. Jennifer Aniston. All it’s missing is a Sally Field or a Sandra Bullock and it would
