“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 this point is the film starring Kevin Cosner??? That being said it’s been quite a…

“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 was a good film, but it wasn’t as great as many people made it out…

“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 movies are not so great, and that’s basically because most of these films were not…

“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 Anime’ to talk about his career and his previous films. I want people to actually…

“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 way through to be taken over by Dexter Fletcher of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking…

“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 in the future, you have to really give credit. It’s also directed by one of…

“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 who I’ve previously talked about on this site. He is an Oscar nominated director, though…

“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 interesting alter Spiderman. He knew everything about him and how to counter him, and of…

“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 been a rather mixed bag with my reviews of Batman: Gotham and Suicide Squad: hell…

“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 other hand it was also a film that surprised me when I found out more…

“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 fewer entries than you really remember. The series had to entries back in the day,…

“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 on this site in the past. I don’t like that they present these as true…

“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 concept is not entirely new and I will be getting into more detail about it…

“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 was just a photoshop competition entry. This later transitioned into a mobile game, which would…

“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 actual characters in the books themselves I believe are currently public domain which is why…

“ANT-MAN AND THE WASP” So, after the juggernaut that was Avengers Infinity War it feels rather much a downgrade to suddenly be heading into another Ant-Man film, but we’ve got it here now. I was actually a big fan of the first Ant-Man film, you can see my review on the site if you want…
