Review: Star Trek – Enterprise

I hope you like TIME TRAVEL. Star Trek: Enterprise, although it first aired as simply “Enterprise“, began its journey in 2001. Unfortunately for it, Star Trek will never be truly successful after the turn of the millennium. At this time, Star Trek: Insurrection had fumbled badly in cinemas, and Star Trek: Nemesis was around the…

But when this particular mission aims to see her dead, she finds herself part of a team. A team of misfits. Can these rebels figure out what’s going on? Thunderbolts* is an…

Review: Sinners

Ludicrous, but when it is all said and done, Sinners is a classic horror in the making. In 1930s America, young Samuel wants to become a blues guitarist. To achieve this dream, he joins a pair of twins who are setting up a new club house. But everyone’s plans and excitement are about to be…

Review: Star Trek – Voyager

Usually Star Trek: Enterprise is cited as the moment when Trek “lost it.” I think it was a little earlier, with Star Trek: Voyager. Which is painful to say; I grew up watching Voyager almost as much as the previous two. I clearly remember going and buying VHS tapes (each containing two whole episodes!) which…

Review: Captain America: Brave New World

An MCU paint-by-numbers. It is perfectly serviceable, but doesn’t have any real punch. Sam Wilson, aka Captain America, finds an old friend being tried for attempted assassination of the American President. But upon investigating this, he finds a darker secret underneath. It isn’t uncommon knowledge that Captain America: Brave New World was in development hell…

Review: Wolf Man

It does have heart and conviction, but is a little too shallow. When husband and father Blake learns of his own father’s death, he takes his family to his woodland home to settle affairs. However, things quickly go wrong as something in the woods is hunting them. Wolf Man comes to us as the second…

Review: Gladiator 2

A movie that’s perhaps 15 years too late. A man loses his home and his wife to the conquering Roman Empire. Enlisted as a gladiator, he seeks revenge. But his past will rise up to greet him, setting him on a different path. Academy Award winning movie Gladiator was released in the year 2000, and…
