“JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK” Well, it’s another year, so another trilogy of straight to home release DC animated films. Now last year wasn’t an incredibly good year for DC, they didn’t really manage to get anything right. The live action films didn’t live up to the standard, but the animated films, DC would normally get at…

“JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2” It has shown how long I have been doing this that I am not starting to get to the stage where I can now say I have reviewed multiple times follow-ups to films I have already reviewed for the website. I reviewed John Wick when it got its UK release, way…

“LEGO BATMAN MOVIE” Following off from the surprise success of Warner Bros, the Lego Movie in 2014, it was announced that a spin-off would be made for one of the popular characters to turn up from that film ‘Lego Batman’. Now, this time, we have director Chris McKay, who also co-wrote the script, which I…

“SING” Written and directed by Garth Jennings, director of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Sing, is the latest film from Illumination pictures, the same animation studio behind Despicable Me, Minions and the previously reviewed Secret Life of Pets films and much like Secret Life of Pets, this was advertised well in advance of its release.…

“xXx: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE” Yes, who saw this one coming in the distance. For those of you who are unaware or didn’t grow up in the late 90’s, there was a rivalry going on in the cinema’s when James Bond film, Die Another Day was announced, it was placed in direct competition with…

“MANCHESTER BY THE SEA” Manchester By The Sea is one of several films that comes out at this time in the UK, which is typically reserved for un-polished rubbish, like last week’s review of Assassins Creed or typical films that are typical awards contenders. Manchester By The Sea is no exception to the rule, there…

“ASSASSINS CREED” Let’s face it, video game movies have hardly been successful, I already made a bit of a comment on that when I reviewed Warcraft. That’s still not stopped a load of video game companies licensing out the film rights to various studios. Sony is reportedly working on Sonic the Hedgehog film as well…

“BEST FILMS OF 2016” Well, another year has been and gone but before we head into 2017 let’s look back on 2016 and review the year as a whole. It’s fair to say that 2016 will go down as the year when I had the best perspective to make a ‘Best and Worst List’. I…

“WORST FILMS OF 2016” Well, another year has been and gone but before we head into 2017 let’s look back on 2016 and review the year as a whole. It’s fair to say that 2016 will go down as the year when I had the best perspective to make a ‘Best and Worst List’. I…

“THE EMPIRE OF CORPSES” The Empire of Corpses, or Shisha no Teikoku as it’s known in its native Japan is a project that has been on the radar for quite some time. The film itself being based on the book by the late Project Itoh who wrote a trilogy of acclaimed books and was heavily…

“ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY” I remember this time last year, everyone breathed a quick sigh of relief that just said, everything is ok, Star Wars is good again. That’s not to undermine The Force Awakens as a movie, I really loved this, as anyone who read my review last year or read my…

“FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM” Along with many people who were approaching their teen years in the early 2000’s, I was very aware of Harry Potter and how popular it was getting. Just to clarify, I have never read any of the Harry Potter books, all my knowledge comes from, once again, The…

“POKEMON THE MOVIE: HOOPA AND THE CLASH OF AGES” This year marks a lot of anniversaries and one of the big ones celebrated back in February was the 20th anniversary of Pokémon. Now I haven’t made this clear in the past, but I love Pokémon. As a child in the 1990’s, I was surrounded by…

“ARRIVAL” Arrival has been one interesting film for a long period of time if you have been a film critic as it has been on everyone’s lips since it started its film festival circuit. The film is the latest film from director Dennis Villeneuve who is a director that has been on th’e radar in…

“A STREET CAT NAMED BOB” This was a film I was genuinely looking forward to, the main reason being that I really loved the true story the film is based on, which is almost hard to avoid considering the amount of appearances James Bowen and Bob have made on daytime shows like This Morning, BBC…

“DOCTOR STRANGE” I have been reviewing films for 2 years now and that means that I have really been given the chance to see how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has evolved, but I have never really stated why I enjoy these films as much as I do. It’s not just because I am a big…

“TROLLS” You know what, I have bashed Dreamworks a couple of times, but they actually can produce some excellent animation. I have already mentioned how much I love the Kung Fu Panda films when I did my review of Kung Fu Panda 3 and I am really a big fan of the How to Train…

“YOUR NAME” Or, as it is known in its native Japan Kimi No Na Wa. Brought to us once again from Director Makoto Shinkai who also wrote the screenplay. This Anime has definitely created a massive buzz in a short space of time. It was at one the point the Number 1 on MyAnimeList.com and…
