“BELLE” Belle is the latest film written and directed by Mamoru Hosoda, of whose works I have written about extensively in my book and I’ve even covered two of his films on this site, most notably The Boy and the Beast (2015) and Mirai (2018). I think he is one of my favourite directors, he…

“SING 2” Sing 2 is the latest sequel to one of Illumination’s productions. When I reviewed ‘Sing’ I never left that film thinking ‘that needs a sequel’. I know a lot of animated films are getting them now but Sing really felt like a one-and-done story. The cast list alone was a big source of…

“THE BATMAN” The Batman is directed by Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves, and is now the fourth time we’ve had a Batman reboot. I think the whole concept of Batman bears no introduction, but it’s very clear that Matt Reeves envisioned for this to be a big deal. He’s got an all-star cast…

“DEATH ON THE NILE (2022)” Death on the Nile is the second in a recent series of adaptations of Agatha Christie novels that have been directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars in the leading role of Hercule Poirot. And once again he returns with screenwriter Michael Green. This time probably being the second most…

“UNCHARTED (2022)” Uncharted is a new movie that is in the initiative that Sony is putting out to make films based on their PlayStation franchises. This is most evident from the fact that the opening sequence features a ‘PlayStation Productions’ logo, with lots of imagery of their current franchises like God of War, Horizon, Ratchet…

I just wanted to let people know that I’m still continuing to visit the cinema and review films, and these will be posted on the website soon. Calvin – Nerd Consultant Share This Post:

“SCREAM (2022)” The problem with doing these reviews is I’m often dancing around spoilers, so as a result I’m kind of put in a position where I can’t talk about everything I want to talk about, so you probably would get most of my thoughts of a film if you’ve seen it yourself and had…

“THE 355” Look, I don’t want to spend too long on this film because frankly, The 355 is rubbish. One of the first films to come out in 2022, releasing the weekend after New Year’s weekend, it’s arrived in dumping ground January. And it seems to follow suit—studios releasing terrible projects that they’ve tried to…

“SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME” Spider-Man: No Way Home is the third movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to feature the character front and center, and is once again directed by John Watts. At one point it looked like it was never going to happen with the dispute between Disney and Sony over the ownership of…

“WEST SIDE STORY” Steven Spielberg has spent years trying to get a remake of West Side Story off the ground, and I’ve somehow seen this on his IMDB page every time I’m looking up a film that he’s directed which I’m going to see. I actually thought the film was probably never going to happen,…

“Looking For Magical DoReMi” Yes, this is how I used my weekend: I went to see an Anime movie about an Anime franchise I barely watched because by the time it came to the UK I was really not the target audience for it. The thing is though, Magical DoReMi was a huge phenomenon in…

“HOUSE OF GUCCI” House of Gucci is a biopic directed by Ridley Scott. It is based on a book written by Sara Gay Forden, detailing the internal politics that created a major shift at one of the biggest fashion brands on the planet. Now, whether you’re a fan or not, Gucci has become one of…

“GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE” Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the newest entry in the franchise, and unlike the 2016 film which attempted to be a reboot for the franchise, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, was set to be a continuation and would act as a tribute to long-time fans. One of the notable inclusions this time round is director Jason Reitman, son…
