Air – Review
Most people know the story of Michael Jordan. Still regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, and a sporting icon whose status has been cemented for generations. But Air doesn’t tell HIS story. It follows the prospective of Nike, who are falling far behind in the competition of basketball prospects. Matt Damon stars […]
The Super Mario Bros. Movie – Review
Nintendo have been shaking off the sensational stink of the last Mario movie, which ‘celebrates’ its 30th birthday this year. A bizarre, nightmarish live-action take on the Italian platforming plumber that continues to live through cult appeal. With the bar set so tremendously low for this modern makeover, it seems a success – no matter […]
Clay VS Classic: The Sandlot (30th Anniversary)
“You’re killing me Smalls” – Ham Porter There’s something about movie’s that can capture the charm of baseball that the sport itself never has for me. Field of Dreams (1989), Moneyball (2011) and this little coming-of-age gem are all evidences of this. Maybe Americans can just translate this otherwise mundane sport into the medium of […]
John Wick: Chapter 4 – Review
Keanu returns with that ‘kill ’em all’, gun-fu action attitude which has made his John Wick franchise such a hot ticket within the action genre. This latest instalment once again pushes the boundaries and imaginations of the creative teams involved with more staggering staircase shootouts, neon illuminated underground raves being interrupted by the flares of […]
Cocaine Bear – Review
The marketing strategy for director/actor Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear, could sell itself through its name alone. As one could imagine, that is quite simply what this film is all about. “Inspired” by the true story of a bear who made its way through roughly 70 pounds of cocaine after it was dropped out of a […]
Clay VS Classic: Groundhog Day (30th Anniversary)
“It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life” – Phil Connors If anyone would be relieved to see the 30th anniversary of this event, it would be Bill Murray’s aptly named Phil Connors. A cynical weatherman who is forced to relive the same day […]
You People – Review
Two comedy icons from two different eras collide in this culture-clash rom-com that boasts admirable acting talents but condemns them all to generic genre fluff. Ezra (Jonah Hill) meets Amira (Lauren London) after he mistakenly believes her to be his Uber driver, but after the initial awkwardness has passed, the pair hit it off well. […]
Babylon – Review
“You don’t become a star, you either are one, or you ain’t” – Nellie LaRoy After dazzling with his drum-centric mainstream debut Whiplash (2014), and moving onto the lavish and Academy adored La La Land (2016), director Damien Chazelle has rightfully become one of the most anticipated and exciting directors of the modern era. Even […]
Devotion – Review
2022 was certainly the year in film for naval aviation. With Tom Cruise stunningly stepping back into the shoes of Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell in a Top Gun sequel that exceeded any and all expectations, and again here with director J.D. Dillard’s Devotion. A retelling of the true story of Jesse Brown (Johnathon Majors), honoured as […]
