Spree – Review
“It’s a numbers game, and right now I’m a zero” – Kurt Kunkle It’s the modern age movie for the modern age audience. 2020’s Spree makes its appearance on Netflix and the Generation Z(ers) amongst us have plenty to get excited about.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom – Review
We’re almost at curtain call on this troubled year. A year I think we’re all ready to put in the past, and focus on our futures. However, we’ll always look back on this year for the losses we’ve all had in some form or another. And one loss that the world mourned, was that of […]
The Midnight Sky – Review
A global catastrophe known as ‘the event’, has plunged Earth into an extinction level threat. The climate has changed, and with it the situations in which our very existence relies upon. In this fictional story, based on the book ‘Good Morning, Midnight’ by author Lily Brooks-Dalton, actor/director George Clooney demonstrates a future, in which we […]
Soul – Review
Much like Onwards, that was released at the beginning of this year, Pixar’s Soul may not receive the reception it most certainly deserves. As the filming industry is still very much in a dark place at the moment, Soul joins the list of mainstream releases that is given the ‘straight to streaming’ gig instead. Pixar’s […]

Of that fast growing list, none seem to provide that ‘Christmas classic’ potential quite like David E. Talbert’s, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. Set in the Victorian era, […]
Color Out of Space – Review
In a year that has been as bonkers as this, it seems only fair that we get a movie, as bonkers as this. Nicolas Cage, Alpacas and a lot of bloody fun. Don’t unfasten your seatbelts just yet guys, this year has one last curveball to throw your way. Devoted farmer and family man Nathan […]
Clay VS Classic: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Released at a time when perhaps the world had seen enough of superhero movies, or more specifically origin stories, and even MORE specifically, yet another Spider-Man adaptation. Something we’ve seen an abundance of over the last two decades. But what made this so unique? What caused this to become so successful? In this review I […]
The Trial of the Chicago 7 – Review
“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 […]
