Space Jam: A New Legacy – Review
“We’re not called the fundamental tunes…” – Bugs Bunny If you weren’t young enough to appreciate the goofiness of 1996’s Space Jam at the time of its release, then I genuinely feel sorry for you. A basketball megastar who’s future in the NBA seemed unclear due to family tragedy, stars in a movie alongside the […]
Fear Street Part 3: 1666 – Review
And here brings the end of Leigh Janiak’s Netflix original, Fear Street trilogy. A consistent trilogy that has no entry clearly outshining another, but has each instalment showcasing something different in the department of the horror genre. Starting off in a blood-soaked wormhole of classic horror tropes and nineties nostalgia, and rounding off much the […]
Black Widow – Review
It feels like rubbing salt in the wound by bringing Scarlett Johansson back into the MCU after her dramatic and devastating departure in Avengers: Endgame (2019).

And once again he finds himself centre stage in Amazon Prime exclusive, The Tomorrow War. The world watches […]
Luca – Review
Whether it’s my age quickly catching up with me, or it is as I believe Pixar are slowing losing their magic. Their latest feature Luca follows the animation studios’ recent projects of solid, family friendly entertainment but lacking to tell a bigger story. Similar criticisms I had with both Onward (2020) and Soul (2020). Luca […]

“Ding Dong! Its America motherf**kers” – George Washington (not literally) If you thought Hamilton was an interesting and unique reconstruction of early American history, then you’ll be surprised by what this latest Netflix original, animated ‘motion picture’ has to say. Far more of a mockery than it is an informative and intelligent piece highlighting the […]
