“CREED II” Creed II is the latest film in the Rocky franchise, which is now on its eighth film. The franchise rebooted two years ago, with a new main character, Adonis Creed son of first film antagonist Apollo Creed. If…

“ROBIN HOOD (2018)” What is it with Robin Hood films never quite working? Aside from the Disney one I’ve never heard of one that’s received no source of criticism. In fact, the one probably with the biggest cult status at…

“FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD” Ok I reviewed Fantastic Beasts a couple of years ago, I didn’t review it too well if you recall. I didn’t say it was a bad film, in fact if anything I thought it…

“THE GRINCH” Me and Dr Seuss adaptations don’t get along. That’s not too say I don’t like Dr Seuss, his books are fine, in fact some of them have actually held up remarkably well. The problem is that, well, his…

“MIRAI” Mirai is the latest film from director Mamoru Hosoda, who is one of my favourite directors. I could go on about him and his career but I devoted a portion of my upcoming book ‘The Nerd Consultant’s Guide to…

“BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY” Bohemian Rhapsody hasn’t been without its controversy. The first factor of this was this film’s gone between directors through the space of filming. The film was originally held by X-Men director Bryan Singer who left the project half…

“HALLOWEEN (2018)” Halloween (1978) is one of my favourite films. I am a huge fan of the original film, which not only started the slasher genre but also set the template for how all these films were going to appear…

“FIRST MAN” First Man is the first bio pic to detail the life and career of Neil Armstrong, who famously was the first man to walk on the surface of the moon. It comes to us from director Damien Chazelle…

“VENOM” Venom is a project that has been around for quite a while. He is one of the most popular villains in Spiderman’s books. I’ve always kind of liked Venom as a villain mainly because he was kind of this…

“THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN” It’s a tradition round here that I review all the DC animated films that come out every year and for the fourth year in a row I decided to finish off that selection. This year has…

“THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS” The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a film that took me off guard in several factors. I actually didn’t know it was coming out for one, and on the…

“THE PREDATOR” The Predator is the latest in what should be a long line of movies, but The Predator franchise despite its pedigree of being one of the films that help put Arnold Schwarzenegger on the map has surprisingly had…

“THE NUN” The Nun is the latest film in the Conjuring set of movies, having two main entries and two spin offs with the Annabel films. I have never really been a fan of the Conjuring movies as I’ve commented…

“SEARCHING” Searching is the directorial debut of Aneesh Chaganty and is his first feature film to date. The film did very well at The Sundance film festival and when trailers came out for it, it suggested a conceiving concept. The…

“SLENDER MAN” Slender Man is essentially a modern myth that was created for a photoshop competition. That’s really all there is to him. A tonne of people claim there is some reality to him but, no, investigation has found he…

“CHRISTOPHER ROBIN” Not to be confused with the film Goodbye Christopher Robin which I reviewed last year. Disney already had their own film that works, with them still retaining the right of this specific image of Winnie the Pooh. The…
