Onward – Review

“ONWARD” Yes, I was meant to see The Colour Out Of Space but to my shock, not a single cinema in my area was playing it, and I’m not about to hop on a train to London for one film

The Call of the Wild – Review

“THE CALL OF THE WILD” The Call of the Wild is the latest adaptation of Jack London’s 1903 novel, this time coming to us from normally animation director Chris Sanders. Chris Sanders started out working for Disney, holding both a

Sonic the Hedgehog – Review

“SONIC THE HEDGEHOG” The Sonic the Hedgehog movie has had one of the more troubled production histories in recent memory. The license was originally picked up by Sony, however, not much came about from the project. There were several names

Birds of Prey – Review

“BIRDS OF PREY” Birds of Prey is the latest film from the DCEU after taking quite a significant break after last year’s Shazam. The DCEU is in a bit of a weird quandary at the minute. While their films have

The Grudge (2020) – Review

“THE GRUDGE (2020)” You probably can guess from my love of lots of Japanese media that a new version of The Grudge would be right up my alley. Well, I certainly was interested to see how it turned out considering

Weathering With You – Review

“WEATHERING WITH YOU” Weathering With You is the most recent film from Makoto Shinkai, director of films such as 5 Centimeters Per Second, The Garden Of Words and the previously reviewed, Your Name, which I said was one of the

The Best and Worst Films of 2019

  So, 2019’s at its end. And overall, it was a year in cinema where I felt really cynical. More than ever it felt like films were coming out with a rather cynical cash-grab feel. There were bright spots within

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker – Review

“STAR WARS: RISE OF SKYWALKER” So, episode 9 finally came out and after a long break, I finally give my opinion of it. Well, this one has actually had a slightly troubled production. Episode 8 was not too well-received; it’s

Konosuba: Legend of Crimson – Review

“KONOSUBA: LEGEND OF CRIMSON” So, this is a review that’s really just for someone like me. I really, really like Konosuba. It’s one of the funniest Anime series that have come out in recent memory. Now, I wrote a large

The Irishman – Review

“THE IRISHMAN” Okay, I’m going to put my raging bias of my opinion of Martin Scorsese in light of his comments on Marvel movies to one side because all in all, I think it’s a bit unfair and unreasonable for

Promare – Review

“PROMARE” Promare is the feature length debut for Studio Trigger, one of my favourite animation studios out of Japan. And it also is the feature length debut of Hiroyuki Imaishi, who’s directed excellent television series, including Gurren Lagann, Kill la

Frozen 2 – Review

“FROZEN 2” So Frozen 2 was obviously going to happen. The original film really brought back Disney to the big time and has been a critical and major financial success. This time round, once again, we have directors Chris Buck

Le Mans 66 – Review

“LE MANS 66” Le Mans 66, or as it’s known in America, Ford vs Ferrari, which is also what its listed as on IMDB, is 20th Century Fox finally doing the story of Carrol Shelby and Ken Miles’ historic run

The Aeronauts – Review

Doctor Sleep – Review

“DOCTOR SLEEP” Doctor Sleep is an interesting film out of the gate. It’s essentially a sequel to The Shining, which in itself provides a bit of an issue. See, Doctor Sleep, rather like its previous counterpart, is a film based

Terminator: Dark Fate – Review

“TERMINATOR: DARK FATE” Terminator: Dark Fate is now the sixth movie in the Terminator franchise, a series that has gone on way longer than anyone could have expected. Now, once again, the film’s been helmed by James Cameron, but this

Zombieland: Double Tap – Review

“ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP” Zombieland: Double Tap is the very belated sequel to 2009’s Zombieland, and reunites the core cast of Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin, alongside director Ruben Fleischer. A Zombieland sequel was considered in development

Gemini Man – Review

“GEMINI MAN” ‘Gemini Man’ is a production that has been floating around in Hollywood since the late 90s. It has been kicked around so much that I think it’s very possible that anyone who had any vision must have left
