“THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN” If there is one thriller that has been talked about, seen on bookshelves all over the country, and that book that you have seen being read by most people on the beach on your Summer holidays, that would be ‘The Girl on the Train’, written by Paula Hawkins. The film…

“MISS PERIGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN” I have already made clear my thoughts on Tim Burton when he is great he is one of the best directors that ever lived, and even when he is off the mark he seems to at least create something interesting and as I mentioned in my Big Eyes review,…

“THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (2016)” I’m not a fan of Western’s, don’t get me wrong they have their place but there is a very good reason that they stagnated and died out, there were simply just too many of them. That being said, there were some stand-outs, they just never really appealed to me. I have…

“BLAIR WITCH (2016)” If there is one film which owes its success to the Internet, it’s The Blair Witch Project. The original film was the first major example of viral marketing, using the Internet to spread the rumor’s that the footage that people were seeing was real, even IMDB having the actors as ‘missing, presumed…

“KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS” We have just celebrated the 2nd Anniversary of the Axia Film Society and we are already having a first. This is the first time I have reviewed a stop motion animated film, I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to get round to doing it. Stop motion animation is an…

“THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR” This year, we have received yet another entry in The Purge franchise, much to the enjoyment of those who enjoy the franchise and much to the disgust of everyone else. The Purge, for those of you who don’t know, has now become a series of films set in the not too…

“SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS” Ok, let’s get the full disclosure out of the way first, I have not read the book Swallows and Amazons and I have never seen any of the previous adaptations of the story so this will be a very fresh perspective that I will be giving to this film and I am…

“BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE” If there is one film that producer Bruce Tim has been trying to get going since DC went almost completely animated, it’s The Killing Joke and why not it’s one of the most iconic Batman stories ever written, although it could be argued that it’s more of a Joker story, but…

“SUICIDE SQUAD” The DC Cinematic Universe is back with its 3rd entry in its franchise. Now if I’m honest, I am not the hugest Suicide Squad fan. I read a lot of the comics, I have read most of their new 52 stuff up until New Suicide Squad got boring and repetitive especially only having…

“FINDING DORY” Pixar was back on a roll last year when they released Inside Out which earned them yet another Best Animated picture Oscar, granted it went downhill a bit with The Good Dinosaur, but I still thought that was a decent movie, as anyone who read my review will attest to, but the one…

“GHOSTBUSTERS (2016)” Now, if like me, you grew up in the early to mid 1990’s, you probably didn’t grow up with Ghostbusters but still caught the tail end of the Ghostbusters craze. Nevertheless, I loved that movie, I even liked the sequel which a lot of people don’t have that much fond affection for but…

“JUSTICE LEAGUE VS TEEN TITANS” The next film in the new DC animated Universe, although really calling it new at this point is rather rich, considering we are now 3 years into it and once again it is directed by Sam Liu, though this time the writing credits go to Bryan Q Miller and Alan…

“INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE” I remember a while back, I saw a documentary, I can’t remember exactly what it was about, but I think it was about the Top 50 Box Office Successes in UK cinemas and the documentary got to Independence Day, a film which to all intents and purposes a massive success with audiences.…

“THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS” The Secret Life of Pets is the latest film from animation house The Illumination Pictures who are famous for creating the Despicable Me movies and the Minions but they seem to want to widen their range considering their next couple of films are this and a film called Sing which,…

“WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE” Everyone who reads my reviews regularly already knows that I am a huge Studio Ghibli fan and I consider their collection of films to be my favourite series of films, which meant that this is the film I have really been looking forward to seeing this year, though at the same…

“WARCRAFT” I mentioned a few weeks ago when I reviewed the Angry Birds movie that video game movies don’t tend to do well and are usually reviled by general audiences, critics and gamers alike and I think that’s down to various factors. In the old days when we were having adaptations like the Mario Bros…
