The World’s End is a sad way to end Edgar Wright’s “Cornetto Trilogy”, precious few memorable moments and a lot of repetitive action filling the time. Six men are reunited by the nostalgia infused rantings of a drunken man-child named Gary King and set on an epic pub crawl in their old town from twenty…

Review: Southpaw
Jake Gyllenhaal and Forest Whitaker carry this boxing film higher than its fairly average pedigree would normally allow. Billy Hope is at the top of his game in professional boxing, but when a terrible incident sees his wife shot and killed, he finds himself unable to cope with the loss and risks losing his daughter…
Review: It Follows
Okay so, I had my doubts about It Follows; horror films have become something of a laughing stock recently, but in fact… this film is really good! After sleeping with a guy she likes called Hugh, Jay begins to see a mysterious figure approaching her that no one else can see. Its intent on murdering…
Review: Ant-Man (2D)
One of Marvel’s main characters is one of the harder sells, and while Ant-Man isn’t a game changer it has risen above the criticism and difficulties during its development. Hank Pym, a scientist for Shield developed a super particle that compresses the space around atoms, allowing objects to be shrunk down. But when Howard Stark…
Review: Spring Breakers
2012’s Spring Breakers is hard to review as a Brit who has no concept of what Spring Break can really be like. It is a beautifully shot but grim film. Four college girls want to go on Spring Break to escape their repetitive normal lives, but haven’t the money to pay for it. Three of…
Review: Terminator Genisys (2D)
So it finally happened, the studios bent the Terminator over their knee and snapped it in half like a twig, making the entire series feel about as relevant in the process. From what one can gather from the plot, when Kyle Reese is sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor from a cyborg assassin…
Saga Review: The Terminator
So with Terminator: Genisys arriving to cinemas soon I feel it is important to look back at the series as a whole. I love the Terminator franchise, or at least I love the first two movies and appreciate the mythos and universe they have created. The series itself is a bit of a contradiction: on…
Review: Inside Out (2D)
Pixar elite director Pete Doctor returns with another colourful yet human experience with Inside Out. Riley, a young eleven year old girl, experiences the hardships of moving house with her parents, her emotions are running riot inside her mind. Literally. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust are all present and failing to cope, especially when…
Review: San Andreas (2D)
A distinctly average natural disaster movie, mostly notable for its special effects. But then, what movie in this genre isn’t? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is Ray, a rescue helicopter pilot about to experience the worst earthquake in history across the San Andreas fault. It is a race against time and endurance for him to rescue…
Review: Jurassic World (2D)
Jurassic World is a bombastic return of the franchise fourteen years after the previous sequel. It provides much, a lot more than expected, but can never match the original. Set over twenty years since John Hammond’s theme park extravaganza Jurassic Park was utterly destroyed when the reborn dinosaur exhibits broke loose, Jurassic World follows a…
