Since the late 80’s, different generations have been able to latch onto these fun characters through their varying iterations and mediums. For me it was through their original T.V. run and the comedically chaotic live action cosplay extravaganza in the early 90’s. Since then the reputation of these half shelled heroes has been a rocky […]

They Cloned Tyrone – Review
Likely to get lost in the algorithm of other Netflix releases, They Cloned Tyrone may fall victim to yet another poor marketing move from the streaming service, and that would be a damn shame as this snazzy sci-fi flick could be a bonified classic for their brand. Caught somewhere between being Jordan Peele’s next insane […]
The Flash – Review
There had been many concerns surrounding DCEU’s The Flash and whether or not it would ever finally be released. From re-writes, to character changes, damaging off-set situations and an entire brand changing hands and being headed by a new creative team wanting to completely wipe the slate clean. The long awaited return of Michael Keaton […]
The Super Mario Bros. Movie – Review
Nintendo have been shaking off the sensational stink of the last Mario movie, which ‘celebrates’ its 30th birthday this year. A bizarre, nightmarish live-action take on the Italian platforming plumber that continues to live through cult appeal. With the bar set so tremendously low for this modern makeover, it seems a success – no matter […]
Clay VS Classic: The Sandlot (30th Anniversary)
“You’re killing me Smalls” – Ham Porter There’s something about movie’s that can capture the charm of baseball that the sport itself never has for me. Field of Dreams (1989), Moneyball (2011) and this little coming-of-age gem are all evidences of this. Maybe Americans can just translate this otherwise mundane sport into the medium of […]
Cocaine Bear – Review
The marketing strategy for director/actor Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear, could sell itself through its name alone. As one could imagine, that is quite simply what this film is all about. “Inspired” by the true story of a bear who made its way through roughly 70 pounds of cocaine after it was dropped out of a […]
Clay VS Classic: Groundhog Day (30th Anniversary)
“It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life” – Phil Connors In celebration of my thirty years on this Earth, I thought I’d take a look back at the films that share that milestone birthday with me. Over the next year I will take […]
You People – Review
Two comedy icons from two different eras collide in this culture-clash rom-com that boasts admirable acting talents but condemns them all to generic genre fluff. Ezra (Jonah Hill) meets Amira (Lauren London) after he mistakenly believes her to be his Uber driver, but after the initial awkwardness has passed, the pair hit it off well. […]
Babylon – Review
“You don’t become a star, you either are one, or you ain’t” – Nellie LaRoy After dazzling with his drum-centric mainstream debut Whiplash (2014), and moving onto the lavish and Academy adored La La Land (2016), director Damien Chazelle has rightfully become one of the most anticipated and exciting directors of the modern era. Even […]
Everything Everywhere All at Once – Review
Perhaps the second of two movies that could really earn the title of ‘multiverse of madness’ to be released in 2022. But unlike Marvel’s Doctor Strange sequel, the directing duo of Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert really throw the kitchen sink (and then some) at the concept of a multiverse. Not being restrained to contractual […]
