The surgeon superhero Steven Strange is back for his long anticipated direct sequel. A sequel that truly sticks to its namesake. A multiverse hopping trip that feels mad, mysterious and creates a map for the future of Marvel. Helmed by a director that is no novice to the comic book world having directed the original […]

The Adam Project – Review
Netflix’s latest dip into the sci-fi genre presents us with two inevitable decisions in the film industry. One being a time-travel element that seems to be the top thing at the moment, and the other being the inclusion of Ryan Reynolds, which as we know is a sure-fire way of reeling in interest. The Adam […]
Clay VS Classic: Face/Off
“It’s like looking in a mirror, only not” – Castor Troy John Woo may no longer be the directing force he once was, but if you were to look at his filmography during the late 80’s and throughout most of the 90’s, he become the frontrunner for bombastic, blockbuster action. With Face/Off, starring Nicolas Cage […]
Uncharted – Review
The Uncharted video game series was a success story for Sony and gaming developer’s Naughty Dog. A warm, charming embrace for action/adventure fans that spawned a handful of sequels and spin offs. It even seemed that the franchise was destined to be adapted to the big screen. The issue with an adaptation however, is that […]
The Matrix: Resurrections – Review
It was over twenty years ago when Keanu Reeves chose the red pill, and took us down a rabbit hole of science fiction intrigue with the Wachowski twins at the helm. After two highly disappointing sequels, it seemed as though the Matrix franchise was riding on the success of its timeless 1999 opener. Reeves and […]
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City – Review
Ah the 90’s. The decade that gave us Nokia mobile phones, 4 Non Blondes and a video game that would be a starting point to one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time, Resident Evil. We’re going back to 1998 to the fictional setting of Raccoon City. A derelict city in the Midwest […]
The Harder They Fall – Review
Netflix’s latest produced western pays homage to the classic tropes of the genre whilst planting its own roots. The lack of black representation portrayed in the genre throughout the years has always been a headscratcher, but director Jeymes Samuel brings that to the forefront of his stylishly splendid action western. Beaming with black heritage, featuring […]
No Time to Die – Review
One of the original films to postpone its release due to the pandemic last year, No Time to Die was set for a March 2020 release and subsequently since then has jumped around multiple release dates. But thankfully Daniel Craig’s swan song as Bond finally sees the light of day. Following the story on from […]
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – Review
We’re entering a phase of Marvel’s infinite storytelling where I fear those who aren’t regular comic book readers, will start to become disillusioned by their upcoming projects. And by ‘those’ I of course mean me. With the quick back to back releases of Shang-Chi and The Eternals, I feel storytelling and strong character writing will […]
The Suicide Squad – Review
Ridiculous, goofy, unlikely to succeed and features a bunch of ragtag oddballs that will fail to reach a wide audience when brought to the big screen. All things director James Gunn had faced when bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy to the screen for the MCU some years back, and it’s safe to say that […]
