During the summer of 2018 the football World Cup had kicked into action, but while most of the world was preoccupied with the historical event there was another happening in the northern area of Thailand. Whilst many united in the celebration of their nations scoring goals for their country, an elite group of professionals and […]

Prey – Review
It was only four years ago that director Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys) tried to reinvent the Predator franchise and bring it back to fine form after decades of failing to replicate the success of 1987’s ‘Predator’. But much like the many sequels/redesigns that have come and gone without leaving much of […]
The Gray Man – Review
The Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame) aim to continue their success after their monumental Marvel breakthrough. Having failed to replicate that with 2021’s Cherry, Netflix’s far more marketable The Gray Man looks to demonstrate what directing capabilities these brothers have outside of the superhero caper. When CIA operative Court Gentry, aka Sierra Six […]
Hustle – Review
Adam Sandler’s comedic career has never gone down particularly well with the critics – much more so of recent – but audiences still appear to feel a buzz whenever he shows up, and it was enough to score him a mind-blowing nine figure deal with Netflix. Sadly, much of what this pairing has churned out […]
Top Gun: Maverick – Review
No, it may not be 1986 anymore, but Tom Cruise is doing his damnedest to make you believe otherwise. Not only in keeping his Mission Impossible success show running stronger than ever before, but bringing back this much beloved US Naval recruitment ad to blockbuster bliss. Tom Cruise refuses to let his younger days define […]
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – Review
The surgeon superhero Steven Strange is back for his long anticipated direct sequel. A sequel that truly sticks to its namesake. A multiverse hopping trip that feels mad, mysterious and creates a map for the future of Marvel. Helmed by a director that is no novice to the comic book world having directed the original […]
The Adam Project – Review
Netflix’s latest dip into the sci-fi genre presents us with two inevitable decisions in the film industry. One being a time-travel element that seems to be the top thing at the moment, and the other being the inclusion of Ryan Reynolds, which as we know is a sure-fire way of reeling in interest. The Adam […]
The Batman – Review
From Keaton to Kilmer, Bale to Ben, the character of the ‘Caped Crusader’ has seen many faces and has been interpreted in many different forms throughout its cultural impact on the moviemaking world. From the campiness of the 1960’s Adam West era, to the apocalyptic levels reached in Affleck’s latest incarnation of the character. With […]
Clay VS Classic: Face/Off
“It’s like looking in a mirror, only not” – Castor Troy John Woo may no longer be the directing force he once was, but if you were to look at his filmography during the late 80’s and throughout most of the 90’s, he become the frontrunner for bombastic, blockbuster action. With Face/Off, starring Nicolas Cage […]
Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Review
Following the fad of classic franchises retconning their projects to give us a ‘true’ sequel – something the Ghostbusters, Terminator and Halloween franchises have most recently attempted – The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the latest to receive a futile facelift (pun intended) with the chainsaw wielding psychopath ‘Leatherface’ making a reappearance. Ignoring the many other […]
