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 […]
Uncharted – Review
The Uncharted video game series was a success story for Sony and gaming developer’s Naughty Dog. A warm, charming embrace for action/adventure fans that spawned a handful of sequels and spin offs. It even seemed that the franchise was destined to be adapted to the big screen. The issue with an adaptation however, is that […]
Home Team – Review
The idea to make a movie based on the career of NFL coach Sean Payton seems feasible. After all we’ve been given movies based on stories that are far more undeserving of the film format. But having the story be ‘loosely’ based around the ‘Bountygate’ scandal (yeah, I had to look this up too) after […]
Munich: The Edge of War – Review
Whilst the atrocities of WWII have been well and truly documented in many forms throughout the years, whether from a fictional view point or something that prides itself on historical accuracy, the build up to WWII hasn’t received such attention. That is what director Christian Schwochow aims to provide with this adaptation of the novel […]
The Tender Bar – Review
So far in his career, George Clooney’s directing efforts have varied from bad to mediocre. 2020’s The Midnight Sky squandered its ideas by offering a tonally messy, miss match of genres that brought little new to the classic space opera. And before that was the uninspired Suburbicon (2017) and A list lustreless Monument’s Men (2014), […]
Don’t Look Up – Review
There seemed to be a high level of intrigue surrounding this project upon first response. Comedy director Adam McKay (Anchorman, The Big Short) being joined by a star studded cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, in a satire that demonstrates the ignorance of the government and media outlets of today’s society. Two astrologists, […]
