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 […]
Triple Threat – Review
Asia’s answer to the Expendables. Martial arts legends Tony Jaa (Ong Bak), Tiger Hu Chen (Man of Thai Chi) and Iko Uwais (The Raid) team up for some adrenaline fuelled, testosterone filled action.

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. […]
The War Movie Nobody is Talking About
As VE day was celebrated all around the UK yesterday, I felt it right to end my evening by watching a war epic.

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 […]
