“TOY STORY 4” You know you’re getting old when the first film in the franchise comes out when you’re five years old and you’re now going to see the fourth entry to the series at the cinema, one year and couple months off from turning thirty! Development of the Toy Story films have probably been…

“MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL” Men in Black: International is one of the quietest big releases I’ve seen all year. I had no idea this film was coming out for ages. Now MIB is in theory a franchise that could really work. I say in theory because in practice it seems it hasn’t really worked. We…

“X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX” Dark Phoenix might not have been shot to be the end of an era but due to recent events it now transpires that that is going to be the case. But Disney’s acquisition of the X-Men franchise, along with their purchase of 20th century Fox, it’s been all but confirmed that this…

“GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS” Godzilla, King of the monsters is the second entry in the recent Godzilla reboot for western audiences. As well as being the third film in was it currently being a kaiju or monster cinematic universe, with the second entry being Kong – Skull Island. The franchise has certainly been through…

“ALADDIN 2019” Aladdin is a childhood classic of mine. I’ve watched that film so many times and you know what, I actually re-watched it in preparation for seeing this film and it’s still really dammed good! If you want testament for its quality, you have to remember this was for the longest time Disney’s most…

“JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM” This is the third entry in the John Wick series. I have reviewed both of the previous films; you can get my thoughts on them there although I would say don’t go back to my original John Wick review since I didn’t fully appreciate it when I first saw…

“POKÉMON: DETECTIVE PIKACHU” Anyone following this site for a while knows my real nostalgic love for Pokémon and with this being now the 22nd Pokémon film if we’re counting it amongst all the other Animé films then we’re heading towards this becoming a Bond style franchise. This is the first ever Western produced Pokémon film…

“THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA” The Curse of La Llorona is the latest film in the current ‘Conjuring’ extended Universe. This time John Woo once again staying on in the role as a producer, although this time directing duties have been given to first time feature director, Michael Chaves, who will also direct the upcoming…

“AVENGERS: ENDGAME” Avengers: Endgame has been an agonising year long wait for the Russo brothers to give us the final portion of the Cinematic Universe. With Endgame finally upon us, people have been begging for no spoilers and as a result, this review will contain no spoilers for Endgame, however, I will talk about the…

“RED JOAN” Red Joan’s story is based on a book which was, in itself inspired by a true story of a pensioner who had been outed as being a spy for the Russian Government during the twilight years of her life. It’s a fascinating idea as a story to tell, but it’s frankly one that…

“HELLBOY” Hellboy is one Guillermo del Toro’s most well known films and probably one of the films that largely brought him to public attention. Now, he made two films with star Ron Perlman, setting up an arc, that unfortunately was never quite fulfilled, but that being said, even with that in mind the first two…

“SHAZAM!” Shazam! is an interesting superhero film. The characters origins going back to when he was originally being called Captain Marvel, before DC would later change his name to Shazam! feels rather ironic and appropriate given that his film was now coming out mere weeks after Captain Marvel. Shazam! has had a rather troubled history…

“DUMBO” Dumbo is the first of 3 Disney Live Action remakes that are coming out this year, the other two being Aladdin, which is directed by Guy Ritchie and The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau. Dumbo is directed by Tim Burton, last time he remade a Disney classic, it turned our appallingly with his…

“US” Us is the latest film from Writer/Director Jordan Peele whose previous film “Get Out”, I reviewed very favourably. But at that time, I wasn’t anticipating the levels of success that Jordan Peel was going to receive from the film, not only was it a box office hit, but it also managed to gain several…

“FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS” This film is a fictionalised documentation of the lives of a group of fishermen from Port Isaac, Cornwall who got famous after appearing on television after they were hired to perform the National Anthem. Although what actually happened I won’t spoil since this is actually covered in the film. The film looks, from…
