The Place Beyond the Pines: Does it Still Hold Up?

When it came to writing my ‘Top 5 of the decade’ list, I had at least 15 films down as potentials. One of those movies that just missed the cut, was Derek Cianfrance’s 2012 drama, The Place Beyond the Pines. Starring Ryan Gosling as Luke Glanton, during what I’d argue was his golden glow-up, as […]

Snowpiercer (Series) – First Look Review

In 2013, director Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) adapted a unique and interesting concept from a French graphic novel known as ‘Le Transperceneige’, known in English as the The Snow-Piercer. The base of this story is set in an icy, post-apocalyptic wasteland, where survival in the below freezing temperatures is undeniable. It was a situation which […]

The Lovebirds – Review

Despite coming to the realisation that their relationship is going nowhere, Jibran and Leilani’s partnership is further tested when they are the witnesses of a murder, in which they are somewhat responsible for. With the two fitting the bill of racial profiling (an angle this movie takes often) and even being prime suspects at the […]

Coffee and Kareem – Review

If the title was anything to go by, you’d quickly realise that Michael Dowse and Ed Helms’ latest comedy is a mockery of itself. I was expecting nothing more than a bit of dumb fun from this Netflix original, but the former certainly shines through a lot more. Helms stars as an incompetent Detroit cop. […]

It tells the story of Connor (Robbie Amell), a construction worker who has been blessed with a unique ability, he can conduct electricity (neat huh?).

Lost Girls – Review

‘An unsolved American mystery’ scrolls across the screen immediately following the films title card and harrowing opening clip. Letting you know right off the bat that what you’re about to witness, isn’t likely to end in the way you’d hope. Liz Garbus takes on the true story of the murders of a group of young […]

The Main Event – Review

The latest film to be produced by WWE studios makes its way onto Netflix. The (very) child friendly The Main Event tells the story of a young, passionate wrestling fan who comes across an old wrestling mask, but he soon discovers this is no ordinary mask. It grants him special powers. Superhuman strength, agility, and […]

Bad Times at the El Royale – Review

It’s a shame when you see a movie not get the recognition it deserves thanks to a lack of solid marketing, and that’s exactly the case with Drew Goddard’s latest picture. Not even making its budget back in cinema ticket sales, Bad Times at the El Royale looks to be a disaster, and if the […]

Deja Vu – Review

“What if you had to tell someone the most important thing in the world, but you knew they’d never believe you” – Doug Carlin You ever get the sense that maybe you’re reliving the same moment over again? Kind of feel like all your days are blending into one? Maybe going slightly mad? That’s how […]
