There’s a notoriety with Kevin Spacey’s cat-transformation venture… I can see why. Can I please have those hours back? The CEO of a major business is ignoring his wife and daughter as he pursues having the tallest building in the city with a competitor. As a result, a strange cat shop owner curses him by…

Review: Lights Out
A reasonably “by the numbers” horror experience with some script and performance problems, but otherwise a decent flick with a fantastic gimmick. A creature lurks in the darkness, it can only be seen in the dark, and cannot attack you when you are in light. The story follows a broken family tormented by the specter……
Review: Suicide Squad (2D)
DC comics’ next installment in its cinematic universe is great to look at, but is not the solid experience audiences were hoping for… In the wake of the cities of Gotham and Metropolis being devastated by the likes of Superman and other “metahumans”, the Government enlists the help of a team of supervillains to destroy…
Review: Jason Bourne
The perplexingly titled Jason Bourne arrives nine years after the last entry of the series, and honestly, doesn’t deliver anything new. When Nicki, an ex-Treadstone operative, uncovers new secrets about the closed operation and the existence of a new one, she calls on Jason Bourne to look into it. The super agent has all but…
Trilogy Review: Bourne
An opportunity to rewatch and review one of my favourite film trilogies of all time? Sign me up! The Bourne Identity (2002) I imagine a lot of people forget the more humble, stealthy experience that is the beginning of the Bourne story. When a man is found afloat in the ocean he finds he has…
Review: The BFG (2D)
The BFG is a very humble, slow and Dahl experience! I enjoyed it, but only because I am familiar with the story. Sophie is a girl living in a London orphanage who has her life turned upside down when a Big Friendly Giant takes her to the Land of Giants. Based off of the Roald…
Review: The Neon Demon
Nestled somewhere between Drive and Only God Forgives, the film is incredibly visual but also compelling, uncomfortable and seriously messed up. A sixteen year old girl without family or friends pursues a career in modeling. The embodiment of innocence, Jesse lives from a rundown motel, and is instantly pray to the other, older, girls in…
Review: Only God Forgives
Well that was a thing that I watched with my eyeballs. From what I can gather: an American man running a martial arts ring in Thailand is forced by his psychotic mother to seek revenge on the kill-crazy police officer that had his older brother killed. Director Nicolas Winding Refn also made the incredible Drive, also…
Review: Ghostbusters 1 & 2
Well, at least there’s one positive to enjoy: I get to rewatch these films again! Ghostbusters (1984) Wow, what can you say about this 1984 classic? Two Oscar nominations, the film’s a true product of the time and most likely a catalyst for the movies we have today. Three scientists investigating supernatural apparitions in New…
Review: Independence Day – Resurgence
Probably Roland Emmerich’s best film since Day After Tomorrow, but I’m not sure what that means… his practiced method of “bigger is better”, doesn’t run true here… Exactly twenty years since they first attacked Earth, the aliens are back for revenge. Humanity has spent the time preparing for the worst by reverse engineering the technology left…
