“Well, it’s Groundhog Day… Again”. I mean, not literally but it’s close. Yet another movie that attempts the formula of reliving the same day over and over again. It seems this once unique albeit odd concept has become quite the new fad in the filmmaking world. A few years ago we had Tom Cruise’s action […]

Greenland – Review
Very few genres seem to fit our current state quite as well as a disaster flick. Especially one that sends our world into quick panic and showcases the general public in such a selfish and pitiful manner. Greenland is yet another drama that cashes in on the end of the world formula, that has Gerard […]
Bliss – Review
I was personally intrigued by what writer/director Mike Cahill had to say with his latest sci-fi picture Bliss. Especially when the trailer dropped it seemed to present a certain lure and would perhaps provide something different, in a time when I believe we so desperately need it. As the film started unraveling its high concept […]
News of the World – Review
Netflix’s latest dive into the Western genre, sees Tom Hanks wander the land of a post Civil War America as a travelling news reader (look how far we’ve come eh?). The war veteran crosses paths with Johanna (Helena Zengel). A Kiowa raised child who’s found mysteriously alone with no sign of family around. When Captain […]
Malcolm & Marie – Review
Sam Levinson’s shouty and repulsive discussion heavy novelty, disguises itself in an art house, future media student glorification piece. Two actors that are quickly becoming the hot topics in their field, elevate Levinson’s sybaritic slog high above water as to not let the material drown in its own straining self indulgence. It’s a big night […]
Top 5: Sports Films
We’re fast approaching one of the biggest sporting events of the year, the Super Bowl. Get your nachos, your BBQ wings and your beers ready because it’s going to be a long night! I chose this time to look back on some of the best sporting events in the way of film, to get me […]
The White Tiger – Review
It’s a rags to riches story, or in this case slumdog to millionaire. Balram (Adarsh Gourav), who comes from the low caste side of India, wriggles his way into a wealthy family and once he’s starting to earn real bucks as a personal chauffeur for them, develops an unhealthy taste for success. Balram hopes that […]
One Night in Miami… – Review
One night. Four legends. History about to be made. A directing debut effort from Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk, Ray) that showcases energetic character building in its otherwise simple setting. One Night in Miami tells the ‘relatively’ true story of an historic night in Miami on the 25th of February, 1964. Whilst that […]
Outside the Wire – Review
Netflix’s flurry into the action world has been far from stellar at this point. Mediocrity is what I’ve come to expect as a base level, with anything going above thrilling and worthwhile a bonus. Sadly again, Outside the Wire fails to be as compelling as the story it wishes to tell. In the not so […]
WandaVision – First Impressions (Spoiler Free)
It’s been teased for a long time and ever since we first heard about it we’ve be dying to know… “what the hell is it all about?!”. Well, with its release finally hitting Disney+, it looks like we’re about to get our answers. We’re going back in time to the 1950’s. Wanda and Vision appear […]
