What a frightful bore. Teenagers have an embalmed hand that allows you to become possessed by the dead. But stay possessed too long and the dead can take over. Cinematic debut for directors Danny and Michael Philippou, Talk to Me is a horror film set in Australia, starring Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, and Lord of…
Review: Dream Scenario
One of the weirder, but very consumable, comedies seen in a while. Paul Matthews is your average, everyday man. But his life changes forever when people across the globe, people who don’t even know him, are experiencing dreams with him in them. How does this phenomenon affect him… and the world? A big release by…
Review: The Marvels
Actual amateur hour at Disney Marvel. A lone female warrior attempts to save her dying world at any cost from The Annihilator and their team of unprofessional heroes. Oh wait, that’s the story of the villain. Sorry. Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, and Monica Rambeau find their powers “entangled”; causing them to swap physical location whenever…
Review: Evil Dead Rise
Not to sound prudish, but this entry in the franchise was just a bit… unpleasant. Ellie, a single mother of three after her partner left her, struggles to raise her kids in their soon-to-be-condemned flat in an old city block. When her sister, Beth, visits, a freak earthquake opens up a hidden vault within the…
Review: Killers of The Flower Moon
For all its good performances, it is too long for not much intrigue. In the 1920s, the Native American Osage tribe’s land was rich in oil, bringing them riches and prosperity. But their servants, primarily white Americans, look to marry into these families… But some of them want even more. Based off the book Killers…
Review: The Creator
A solid science fiction vision; we need more movies like this. Ex-special forces officer Joshua is called back into action in a war against simulants, artificial intelligent lifeforms who co-exist with humans, as a new weapon to end the war has been created. Director Gareth Edwards has shown huge growth and masses of potential with…
Review: Blue Beetle
If this was released 15 years ago, opinions would be very different. Young Jaime Reyes returns from university to find his family’s situation in disarray. When he is looking for work to save the family home, an alien artefact called The Scarab falls into his possession and changes his life forever. Directed by relative newcomer…
Review: Gran Turismo
It lacks a certain something, but is still a surprising true story! Nissan motorsports joins forces with Sony PlayStation’s Gran Turismo developer to train gamers into real race car drivers. Jann Mardenborough is one such gamer, but does he have enough to turn dreams into reality? Gran Turismo is an unusual video game “adaptation”, in…
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Mutant Mayhem
If Tom Cruise got rolled over by the Barbenheimer phenomenon, the heroes in half-shells never stood a chance. The shunned, sewer-dwelling, mutant turtles must save New York City and the humans that detest them from other mutants born of the same ooze that created them. It seems like every seven years or so, a Teenage…
Review: Barbie
Who knew that a movie about Barbie would not only draw so much attention and discussion, but also be quite good?? Barbieland, a parallel existence to our own, is thrown into turmoil as Classic Barbie begins to experience thoughts contradicting her fantastic plastic existence. Thoughts of death and despair. This takes her and her friend…
