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 […]
Jolt – Review
Kate Beckinsale is back channelling her badassery in this ‘Crank’ like action thriller for Amazon Prime. But does it electrify, or fail to create even the smallest of sparks? Lindy (Kate Beckinsale) is a bouncer with a murderous impulse caused by anger-management issues, that is suppressed by an electrically charged vest that she has to […]
The Tomorrow War – Review
From his days as the funny man in Parks and Recreation to being at the top of the list when an action hero is needed, Chris Pratt has quickly cemented himself as Hollywood’s first choice action man. And once again he finds himself centre stage in Amazon Prime exclusive, The Tomorrow War. The world watches […]
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 […]
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 […]
Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula – Review
If it wasn’t for the title and a little in movie exposition, you’d have likely flown through this zombie flick having no knowledge of its connection to 2016’s Train to Busan. What perhaps you further wouldn’t realise, is that this is a threequel to director Sang-ho Yeon’s chaotic Korean zombie horror franchise. The lesser known […]
