“I don’t know why they’re always trying to remake the classics. Never as good as the originals” is a genuine line uttered in this Home Alone rehash, and you best believe that it felt like a genuine wink from the writers who clearly had zero faith in this recent rebranding. Home Alone is a concept […]

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 […]
Last Night in Soho – Review
Even before I knew what Last Night in Soho was really about, it became one of my most anticipated movies slated for release this year. Edgar Wright has been one of the most consistently fresh and thoroughly entertaining director’s of the modern era. He found his style with his ‘Cornetto Trilogy’, and has since changed […]
Dune (2021) – Review
If there was ever a director that would be more fitting to tackle Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic in the modern age, it would have to be Denis Villeneuve. The director’s portfolio has only gone from strength to strength, and his ability to create masterful work on such a grand scale makes him the perfect candidate […]
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 […]
Beckett – Review
This latest Netflix original, political drama/thriller has John David Washington (Malcom & Marie, Tenet) running for his life after his peaceful holiday to Greece with his girlfriend April (Alicia Vikander), turns into his worst nightmare. Beckett (John David Washington) is on the run but from who he’s not sure, and for what purpose he’s even […]
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 […]
Space Jam: A New Legacy – Review
“We’re not called the fundamental tunes…” – Bugs Bunny If you weren’t young enough to appreciate the goofiness of 1996’s Space Jam at the time of its release, then I genuinely feel sorry for you. A basketball megastar who’s future in the NBA seemed unclear due to family tragedy, stars in a movie alongside the […]
