John Krasinski’s breakout directional effort was quite the surprise when it hit theatre’s back in 2018. The final frame felt like a fitting and sophisticated end to the prior events laid out in the thrilling spectacle. A mere weeks later and the rumours of a sequel would be set to release in the coming years. […]

Army of the Dead – Review
Any fans of Zack Synder’s 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake, who will be heading into this expecting a continuation will be bitterly disappointed. Truth be told any fans of the zombie sub-genre will also likely come away feeling the same way. Zombie characters who have more complex characteristics and fleshed out story arcs, action […]
The Mitchells vs. The Machines – Review
Every year some movies fall through the cracks and fail to reach wider audiences due to a lack of solid marketing. I had no idea of this film’s existence until it hit Netflix at the end of last month. I took a punt expecting the worst for some late night entertainment, and was left dumbfounded […]
Without Remorse – Review
A Tom Clancy thriller involving a plot that pits USA against the Russians and questionable morality matters centred around the CIA and US armed forces. It’s not the 80’s kids, but damn does it feel like it again. Adapted from the ’93 novel of the same name, Without Remorse is the latest of Clancy’s work […]
Stowaway – Review
With a story that fades into the nothingness of its setting, Netflix’s latest space drama comes up short despite the good work put in from its short handed cast. Stowaway starts off on an intriguing adventure, but is just left floating and desperately gasping for air for its duration. Marina Barnett (Toni Collette) leads a […]
Love and Monsters – Review
It’s another end of the world drama, only this time it’s presented in the teen-comedy formula. Netflix’s fair budgeted apocalyptic comedy, directed by Michael Matthews, is light in entertainment and thrills but rich in ideas. It’s a sophomore feature effort from the director, and stars teenager’s favourite poster boy, Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner trilogy, […]
Thunder Force – Review
Melissa McCarthy (Spy, The Heat) has made an entire career out of playing a clown, and it seems Thunder Force certainly wasn’t going to break that mould. Written and directed by her husband Ben Falcone (Superintelligence, The Boss), the latest effort from the couple is perhaps their least humorous and most cringe inducing to date. […]
Zack Snyder’s Justice League – (Spoiler Free) Review
So it’s finally here. Many thought it would never happen, others thought it never fully existed to begin with, but the Snyder fans came out in full force to bring Zack Snyder’s true vision to life. #ReleasetheSnyderCut has become a hot topic on social media ever since the release of Joss Whedon’s cut of the […]
Coming 2 America – Review
There’s some key appealing attributes to this ‘long-overdue’ sequel that will likely get many people on board. One of them being the return to comedy for one of the very best to have done it in this business, Eddie Murphy. The other being a sweet little time capsule for fans of the ’88 original ‘Coming […]
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things – Review
“Well, it’s Groundhog Day… Again”. I mean, not literally but it’s close. Yet another movie that attempts the formula of reliving the same day over and over again. It seems this once unique albeit odd concept has become quite the new fad in the filmmaking world. A few years ago we had Tom Cruise’s action […]
