“PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES” Ok before we go any further I already explained last week but I refuse to call this film by its international title (Salazar’s revenge). I love the first pirates of the Caribbean movie it’s one of my favourite movies. I’ve always said it’s the perfect example…

“KING ARTHUR LEGEND OF THE SWORD” This was a major Blockbuster that got announced, but it wasn’t really on my radar. I only found much out about it after I asked a lot of my friends what films they were most excited about seeing this year and a lot of them pointed to this new…

“ALIEN COVENANT” I really like the Alien movies, they are good fun, well at least the first two are. Ridley Scott really started something with this franchise and it seems like being a director or writer in this franchise often leads to great things. Aliens was directed by James Cameron, David Finch got his early…

“THE BOSS BABY” I get a sense that Dreamworks is really slumming it with their current line-up of animated films. They seem to be going down a similar route to what Pixar was doing before Inside Out came out, churning out any rubbish that looked like it would make a quick buck of kids. The…

“GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOLUME 2” Up until the Summer of 2014 nobody really knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy were. Let’s face it, even in comic circles, they were rather an obscure team. However, this franchise was always primed for a success considering that Marvel would have to eventually bring in the cosmic…

“FAST AND FURIOUS 8” Eight, seriously, eight, they made eight of these! It’s not as if this is a long saga that requires tons of movies to tell the story. The original was just an LA based thriller that happened to have a street racing angle, which the series has moved far away from in…

“A SILENT VOICE” Now, A Silent Voice is one of the Animes that I have been really excited to see because at one time, this was ranked higher on many Anime website boards that the previously reviewed Your Name, which, as you will remember, is a film that I absolutely adored. However, it has not…

“GHOST IN THE SHELL (2017)” Let’s kick off Anime April with something that has been getting Anime fans both excited and worried the live action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. Now I have already professed that I absolutely love Ghost in the Shell the film. It’s my favourite science fiction film and one of…

“POWER RANGERS (2017)” If there was one show I watched as a kid it was Power Rangers. This was awesome. I was into things like Ninja Turtles, but these things felt like the spiritual successor to them, it had everything, fight scenes, super heroes, monsters to battle, giant robots. I knew the show was formulated,…

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (2017)” This is now the third in a series of live action re-makes of classic Disney films. The previous two being 2015 Cinderella and 2016’s The Jungle Book which I reviewed for the website last year. I have been enjoying the live action Disney translations, some of them have added some…

“KONG: SKULL ISLAND” Most of the summer blockbusters traces back to Jaws. I think Jaws probably was the film that started the idea of the Summer blockbuster, because it proved you could make a movie on that scale and sell it in the Summer holidays. But I don’t think it’s the original blockbuster. For my…

“LOGAN” It’s really hard to believe, but as Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart pointed out on their appearance on the Graham Norton show, it’s been 17 years since the first X Men movie, 17 years!!! People talk about franchises that they grew up with, but I really have been growing up with the X Men…
