And here brings the end of Leigh Janiak’s Netflix original, Fear Street trilogy. A consistent trilogy that has no entry clearly outshining another, but has each instalment showcasing something different in the department of the horror genre. Starting off in a blood-soaked wormhole of classic horror tropes and nineties nostalgia, and rounding off much the […]

Black Widow – Review
It feels like rubbing salt in the wound by bringing Scarlett Johansson back into the MCU after her dramatic and devastating departure in Avengers: Endgame (2019). But seeing her return as Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow, the role an entire generation will pin her to, in her own solo outing seems long overdue. Director Cate […]
Fear Street Part 2: 1978 – Review
We’re going back to 1978 for part 2 of this Netflix trilogy, Fear Street. After the impressive first outing from Director Leigh Janiak, the second part of this exciting new horror series looked to double down on the strengths set up in the beginning instalment. Part 1 was clearly heavily inspired by the horror movies […]
Fear Street Part 1: 1994 – Review
The first part of a Netflix original trilogy based on the young adult horror book series by R. L. Stine. Fear Street Part 1: 1994 channels the classic slasher horror of the era in which it’s set. Films like Scream (1996) and I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) are clear inspirations for the […]
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.

Luca – Review
Whether it’s my age quickly catching up with me, or it is as I believe Pixar are slowing losing their magic. Their latest feature Luca follows the animation studios’ recent projects of solid, family friendly entertainment but lacking to tell a bigger story. Similar criticisms I had with both Onward (2020) and Soul (2020). Luca […]
America: The Motion Picture – Review
“Ding Dong! Its America motherf**kers” – George Washington (not literally) If you thought Hamilton was an interesting and unique reconstruction of early American history, then you’ll be surprised by what this latest Netflix original, animated ‘motion picture’ has to say. Far more of a mockery than it is an informative and intelligent piece highlighting the […]
A Quiet Place Part II – Review
John Krasinski’s breakout directional effort was quite the surprise when it hit theatre’s back in 2018. The final frame felt like a fitting and sophisticated end to the prior events laid out in the thrilling spectacle. A mere weeks later and the rumours of a sequel would be set to release in the coming years. […]
Army of the Dead – Review
Any fans of Zack Synder’s 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake, who will be heading into this expecting a continuation will be bitterly disappointed. Truth be told any fans of the zombie sub-genre will also likely come away feeling the same way. Zombie characters who have more complex characteristics and fleshed out story arcs, action […]
The Mitchells vs. The Machines – Review
Every year some movies fall through the cracks and fail to reach wider audiences due to a lack of solid marketing. I had no idea of this film’s existence until it hit Netflix at the end of last month. I took a punt expecting the worst for some late night entertainment, and was left dumbfounded […]
