One of the original films to postpone its release due to the pandemic last year, No Time to Die was set for a March 2020 release and subsequently since then has jumped around multiple release dates. But thankfully Daniel Craig’s swan song as Bond finally sees the light of day. Following the story on from […]

Top 5: Best of Bond
In celebration of the release of No Time to Die, which will finally be hitting theatre’s this week after its lengthy postponement, I’ve taken a look back at the Bond franchise and hand picked the five films that best encapsulate the famed fictional character and the stories of Ian Fleming. From Connery to Craig, from […]
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – Review
We’re entering a phase of Marvel’s infinite storytelling where I fear those who aren’t regular comic book readers, will start to become disillusioned by their upcoming projects. And by ‘those’ I of course mean me. With the quick back to back releases of Shang-Chi and The Eternals, I feel storytelling and strong character writing will […]
Beckett – Review
This latest Netflix original, political drama/thriller has John David Washington (Malcom & Marie, Tenet) running for his life after his peaceful holiday to Greece with his girlfriend April (Alicia Vikander), turns into his worst nightmare. Beckett (John David Washington) is on the run but from who he’s not sure, and for what purpose he’s even […]
The Suicide Squad – Review
Ridiculous, goofy, unlikely to succeed and features a bunch of ragtag oddballs that will fail to reach a wide audience when brought to the big screen. All things director James Gunn had faced when bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy to the screen for the MCU some years back, and it’s safe to say that […]
Jolt – Review
Kate Beckinsale is back channelling her badassery in this ‘Crank’ like action thriller for Amazon Prime. But does it electrify, or fail to create even the smallest of sparks? Lindy (Kate Beckinsale) is a bouncer with a murderous impulse caused by anger-management issues, that is suppressed by an electrically charged vest that she has to […]
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). But seeing her return as Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow, the role an entire generation will pin her to, in her own solo outing seems long overdue. Director Cate […]
Fear Street Part 2: 1978 – Review
We’re going back to 1978 for part 2 of this Netflix trilogy, Fear Street. After the impressive first outing from Director Leigh Janiak, the second part of this exciting new horror series looked to double down on the strengths set up in the beginning instalment. Part 1 was clearly heavily inspired by the horror movies […]
