The Matrix: Resurrections – Review

It was over twenty years ago when Keanu Reeves chose the red pill, and took us down a rabbit hole of science fiction intrigue with the Wachowski twins at the helm. After two highly disappointing sequels, it seemed as though the Matrix franchise was riding on the success of its timeless 1999 opener. Reeves and […]

Spider-Man: No Way Home – Review

Regardless of where you stand with Marvel and their cinematic takeover in the world of moviemaking, I think it’s fair to applaud Kevin Feige and co. for what they have managed to achieve over the years, is nothing short of remarkable. Constantly finding new ways of upping the stakes, creating fresh stories and introducing new […]

The Last Duel – Review

It is said that there are two sides to every story, but Ridley Scott’s latest period piece presents a third. Set in France during the 14th century, The Last Duel documents the true story of Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) and her traumatic life experience, but tells the same story from the perspective of its […]

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City – Review

Ah the 90’s. The decade that gave us Nokia mobile phones, 4 Non Blondes and a video game that would be a starting point to one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time, Resident Evil. We’re going back to 1998 to the fictional setting of Raccoon City. A derelict city in the Midwest […]

Ghostbusters: Afterlife – Review

The idea of bringing this franchise back from the dead was met with immediate concern for those brought up on the original series. In 2016 that’s exactly what they did, but turning it into a female led rethread of an adored classic caused long running fans of the franchise to come out with their pitchforks. […]

Home Sweet Home Alone – Review

“I don’t know why they’re always trying to remake the classics. Never as good as the originals” is a genuine line uttered in this Home Alone rehash, and you best believe that it felt like a genuine wink from the writers who clearly had zero faith in this recent rebranding. Home Alone is a concept […]

The Harder They Fall – Review

Netflix’s latest produced western pays homage to the classic tropes of the genre whilst planting its own roots. The lack of black representation portrayed in the genre throughout the years has always been a headscratcher, but director Jeymes Samuel brings that to the forefront of his stylishly splendid action western. Beaming with black heritage, featuring […]

Last Night in Soho – Review

Even before I knew what Last Night in Soho was really about, it became one of my most anticipated movies slated for release this year. Edgar Wright has been one of the most consistently fresh and thoroughly entertaining director’s of the modern era. He found his style with his ‘Cornetto Trilogy’, and has since changed […]

Dune (2021) – Review

If there was ever a director that would be more fitting to tackle Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic in the modern age, it would have to be Denis Villeneuve. The director’s portfolio has only gone from strength to strength, and his ability to create masterful work on such a grand scale makes him the perfect candidate […]

No Time to Die – Review

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 […]
