During the summer of 2018 the football World Cup had kicked into action, but while most of the world was preoccupied with the historical event there was another happening in the northern area of Thailand. Whilst many united in the celebration of their nations scoring goals for their country, an elite group of professionals and […]

The Tender Bar – Review
So far in his career, George Clooney’s directing efforts have varied from bad to mediocre. 2020’s The Midnight Sky squandered its ideas by offering a tonally messy, miss match of genres that brought little new to the classic space opera. And before that was the uninspired Suburbicon (2017) and A list lustreless Monument’s Men (2014), […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Greenland – Review
Very few genres seem to fit our current state quite as well as a disaster flick. Especially one that sends our world into quick panic and showcases the general public in such a selfish and pitiful manner. Greenland is yet another drama that cashes in on the end of the world formula, that has Gerard […]
Bliss – Review
I was personally intrigued by what writer/director Mike Cahill had to say with his latest sci-fi picture Bliss. Especially when the trailer dropped it seemed to present a certain lure and would perhaps provide something different, in a time when I believe we so desperately need it. As the film started unraveling its high concept […]
