Well, that was mindless carnage. A family in grieving finds itself torn further apart with demonic intervention. The tritely titled Evil Dead Burn is directed by Sébastien Vanicek (Infested, which curiously has the same poster design) and is a sequel to 2023’s Evil Dead Rise. The movie stars Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane…

Review: The Furious
Asia does Taken, with an overwhelming amount of punching. When a man’s daughter is kidnapped, he will stop at absolutely nothing to get her back. The Furious is directed by Kenji Tanigaki, a name we are probably going to hear more of if this film is anything to go by. A stunt coordinator-turn-director, you know…
Review: Supergirl (2026)
To paraphrase the film: “You aren’t perfect, but you’re [quite] good.” A young girl’s family is killed before her own eyes by bandits, the same bandits who poison Kara Zor-El’s friendly pup. Can this unlikely duo track down the pirates and settle the score? 2026’s Supergirl continues the fledgling new “cinematic universe” for DC Comics…
Review: Toy Story 5
At best, it is retreading old ground. Jessie fears she is losing her human friend Bonnie to technology when Lilypad, a sentient touch screen computer, arrives. It would seem toys everywhere are being abandoned in favour of “tech.” Can the toys turn things around? The now 31 year old franchise has a new entry, co-written/co-directed…
Review: Obsession (2026)
You could say the world has an obsession with Obsession. A young man cannot express his true feelings to the girl of his dreams, and resorts to a “wishing willow” novelty gift. But when his wish comes true, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. Obsession has taken the movie business by storm….
Review: Disclosure Day
Well, that was a waste of time. Two fugitives are on the run from a shadowy intelligence agency hellbent on keeping Government secrets hidden. Meanwhile, a weather reporter for a News channel starts speaking an alien dialect. Disclosure Day was widely touted as director Steven Spielberg’s “return to form” as it is about aliens. Oops,…
Review: Star Wars – The Mandalorian and Grogu
A superfluous jaunt, full of CGI monster battles. Despite the fall of the Galactic Empire, evil separatist movements still exist. The New Republic sometimes needs mercenaries and bounty hunters to mop up problems. Din Djarin, a Mandalorian, and Grogu, are tasked in aiding the Hutts crime syndicate in exchange for information on the whereabouts of…
Review: Mortal Kombat 2
Somehow, surprisingly, more dumb than expected. The Mortal Kombat tournament is here, and Earthrealm needs one more defender to stop evil Shao Kahn’s rule. The gods have chosen dead-beat action star Johnny Cage… who quickly refuses the call. Can the world be saved by these unlikely heroes? 2021’s Mortal Kombat was released to streaming during…
Review: Hokum
I’ve never seen so many lights give off so little illumination before. A tormented, alcoholic writer stays in a haunted hotel in Ireland where his late parents once stayed. Are the spooky stories real, or pure hokum? Starring Adam Scott (Severance) David Wilmot, Peter Coonan, Florence Ordesh, Hokum is directed by relative newcomer Damian McCarthy…
Review: Lee Cronin’s The Mummy
“We have deadites at home”, the deadites at home are Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. A family is tested after their daughter disappears while visiting Cairo. When she is found years later, hidden inside a sarcophagus, she’s exhibiting strange behaviour, and unknown wounds. Hollywood really wants to succeed remaking The Mummy, doesn’t it? Written and directed…
