Gal Gadot further establishes her role as the go-to heroine for the modern action movie. From a small-time player and subsequently working up the ranks in the Fast & Furious franchise, to earning the Wonder Woman gig in the disappointing run of the DCEU (with many speculating whether or not she will return to the […]

Hidden Strike – Review
An action movie starring John Cena and Jackie Chan would have been a much better prospect ten or so years ago. When Cena was still the go-to guy in the wrestling business, and with Chan closing in on retirement but still had the on-screen stamina to perform his own stunts at a high quality. But […]
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 […]
Bird Box: Barcelona – Review
2018’s Bird Box was a blockbuster hit when it broke viewership records on Netflix. With its meme-heavy marketing, and a superstar in Sandra Bullock, Bird Box burst onto the streaming site and skyrocketed to success seemingly overnight, only to be soon forgotten about. The film felt like more of a passing fad than it was […]
Extraction 2 – Review
There was something about Sam Hargrave’s Extraction (2020) that just clicked. It didn’t reinvent the action genre, nor did it try to juggle more than it was capable. It felt like a pure roots actioner that allowed its set pieces to ride you through all the mediocrity within its writing. Maybe being released during lockdown […]
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. […]
The Pale Blue Eye – Review
Pale is certainly one word I could use to describe Scott Copper’s moody, murder mystery thriller. Set in 1830 at a military academy in West Point, New York, retired detective Augustus Landor (Christian Bale) is forced back into action at the request of military officials after a cadet is found hanged just outside of their […]
White Noise – Review
Unlike the actual definition of white noise, Noah Baumbach’s White Noise doesn’t operate at a familiar frequency throughout or remain at the same level of intensity from start to finish. But what they do have in common is the sense of droning irritation that may successfully lull you off to sleep. Director Noah Baumbach and […]
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery – Review
Daniel Craig’s return to the whodunnit genre with the suave and overly charismatic detective, Benoit Blanc, provides a plentiful amount of fun and silliness as it unravels another mystery of murder, betrayal and deceit. Much like Blanc’s role in these stories, we follow its intricate plot and piece together the puzzle that unfolds and twists […]
Enola Holmes 2 – Review
Millie Bobby Brown returns to the role of Enola Holmes for Netflix’s latest film franchise based on the lesser-known character of the Holmes detective family. Still wanting to shed the shadow of her more accomplished elder sibling Sherlock (Henry Cavill), Enola sets up her own detective-for-hire agency, but with the surname she carries the burden. […]
