The Devil All the Time – Review
Netflix’s The Devil All the Time is a gothic, mid-western drama that boasts possibly the biggest cast ensemble so far this year, but frustratingly doesn’t know what to do with it. An over-arching story that spans three decades during post war America. Corruption within the local police force, sinful shortcomings upon the town’s church, and […]
#Alive – Review
If there’s one thing Korean cinema seems to be doing much better than Hollywood recently, it would be how they treat the zombie horror genre. In 2016 we got Train to Busan. A movie that reignited my lost love for the genre as a whole. Quickly followed by the also impressive, animated prequel to said […]

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga – Review
Being from the UK, it’s very hard to explain to people outside of Europe what the Eurovision song contest is really about, and what all the fuss is (it doesn’t help that I myself, can’t answer those questions). But people seem to flock to it like it’s some resplendent religion, garnering fans from all across […]
Artemis Fowl – Review
Initially scheduled to hit the cinema later this year, but thanks to the plague that has been 2020, it received the streaming gig instead. For once, I’m praying to the high heavens for that decision. Based off of the popular teen book series, Artemis Fowl finally see’s its first screen appearance. A film that has […]
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 […]
