“This is the academy awards of protests and as far as i’m concerned, it’s an honour just to be nominated” – Lee Weiner Courtroom dramas appear to be as ingrained into American culture as The Star-Spangled Banner, baseball and grilled-cheese. And the trial of ‘The Chicago Seven’ is perhaps one of the most famous in […]

Hubie Halloween – Review
It seems with every breath of fresh air we get from Adam Sandler (Uncut Gems, The Meyerowitz Stories), we immediately revert back to his humourless ‘Happy Maddison’ phase. Hubie Halloween is no exception, as it indulges us with the same tired gags served up by the same recurring suspects. Sandler is Hubie. A social outcast […]

Birthplace and home to a group of young teenagers that aren’t willing to see their neighbourhood go down without a fight.

Enola Holmes – Review
Whilst the story of Sherlock Holmes has taken many forms both in television and film over the years, the story of his younger sister Enola, has rarely seen the light of day. Starring Netflix star child Millie Bobby Brown as the title character, Enola Holmes forces Sherlock to take a backseat, in favour of the […]
The Devil All the Time – Review
Netflix’s The Devil All the Time is a gothic, mid-western drama that boasts possibly the biggest cast ensemble so far this year, but frustratingly doesn’t know what to do with it. An over-arching story that spans three decades during post war America. Corruption within the local police force, sinful shortcomings upon the town’s church, and […]
#Alive – Review
If there’s one thing Korean cinema seems to be doing much better than Hollywood recently, it would be how they treat the zombie horror genre. In 2016 we got Train to Busan. A movie that reignited my lost love for the genre as a whole. Quickly followed by the also impressive, animated prequel to said […]
Unknown Origins – Review
“If all the murders were based on the seven deadly sins, it’d be a lot easier to solve” – Jorge If you were perhaps wondering what to expect from this Spanish speaking Netflix original, consider that quote as your starting point. Delivered by one of the two leads with practically a wink to the camera, […]

Clay VS Classic: Interstellar
The wait is almost over. We were hopeful that Nolan’s latest project was going to see its initial release date but alas, like many this year, the pandemic forced us to hold out for a little while longer. But before finally diving into the long awaited release of Nolan’s Tenet, I thought now would be […]
The Old Guard – Review
With the superhero sub-genre being well and truly run by the conglomerate, comic book giants of Marvel and DC, it seems there’s little room for others to cash in on the mass appeal. That hasn’t stopped Netflix, with the help of director Gina Prince-Bythewood, bringing Image comics’ The Old Guard into the limelight. The story […]
