Not many would have expected Gunn’s Guardians to be the hit that they have been, but it’s a surprise that has sensationally won the hearts of comic book fans that have remained beating ever since their first appearance in 2014. Gunn gathers his team together with Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Karen […]

John Wick: Chapter 4 – Review
Keanu returns with that ‘kill ’em all’, gun-fu action attitude which has made his John Wick franchise such a hot ticket within the action genre. This latest instalment once again pushes the boundaries and imaginations of the creative teams involved with more staggering staircase shootouts, neon illuminated underground raves being interrupted by the flares of […]
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Review
Phase 4 of the MCU has felt like somewhat of an experimental period for the company, but it’s a phase that seems to lack purpose and any sense of direction going forward. Sadly, the death of Chadwick Boseman – who was to continue playing the role of King T’Challa AKA Black Panther – was something […]
Bullet Train – Review
Director David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw) doubles down on the dumb chaos that he provided with his Deadpool sequel. Non-stop action, constant visual comedy and plenty of characters that present a variety of varying characteristics (for better or worse). Bullet Train is a wild ride that desperately tries to not […]
The Gray Man – Review
The Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame) aim to continue their success after their monumental Marvel breakthrough. Having failed to replicate that with 2021’s Cherry, Netflix’s far more marketable The Gray Man looks to demonstrate what directing capabilities these brothers have outside of the superhero caper. When CIA operative Court Gentry, aka Sierra Six […]
Top Gun: Maverick – Review
No, it may not be 1986 anymore, but Tom Cruise is doing his damnedest to make you believe otherwise. Not only in keeping his Mission Impossible success show running stronger than ever before, but bringing back this much beloved US Naval recruitment ad to blockbuster bliss. Tom Cruise refuses to let his younger days define […]
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – Review
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 […]
