Honestly, this DC comics movie is just too competently edited, it has way too much character depth and development, and the music cues are actually implemented correctly. Plus, it has colours and you can see what’s going on! I am being facetious: Wonder Woman was great! Diana is a princess of the Amazon warriors living on…
Review: Pirates of the Caribbean – Salazar’s Revenge 2D (aka Dead Men Tell No Tales)
Creativity remains in the rotten timber of Salazar’s Revenge, but there’s little passion left in the hollowed out core.

Review: Colossal
What a unique but strangely awkward experience. Colossal a one-of-a-kind movie.

SPOILER WARNING – in BIG BOLD LETTERS – Straight off the bat I want to make very clear that this article is giving away possible key plot points for the Alien franchise as it stands today… and possibly into the future!

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2D)
Remarkably untethered to the greater MCU, the sequel expands the first although doesn’t rise above it. Running as heroes for hire, the Guardians of the Galaxy find themselves in trouble from all angles: a client, The Sovereign, want them dead, as do the mercenary outfit The Ravagers. But for 80s junkie and all around space…
Review: Wiener-Dog
Comedy is no more subjective than it is in black comedies. As an anthology experience, we follow one dachshund “Wiener” dog as it moves from one owner to the next by some invisible hand of fate. But each owner has a different story to tell; quirky, lost and disillusioned all of them. Oh, it’s one of these…

There, a father and son team of…
