The youth of today can very easily dismiss and forget how influential this film really was. Three friends go into haunted woods to create a documentary about the old tale of The Blair Witch, but when they never returned only the footage remains of their last moments. This is that footage. Or so the film…
Review: Batman – The Killing Joke
A little late to the party here and honestly, it was just alright. Mark Hamill reminds us why we love his turn as Joker so much. Batman and Batgirl become involved in the most diabolical trap The Joker has ever conceived after the Clown Prince breaks out from prison yet again. Based off of Alan…
Review: Sausage Party
It is as obscene and ugly as the trailer depicts, but it is also far from “the Pixar of adult animation” as its creators claim. What happens when food is sentient, and when food realises what happens to it when we buy it? Frank the hotdog and Brenda the bun are about to find out….
Review: Aftermath (2012)
Well that was depressing. The wars in the middle east trigger a nuclear catastrophe, and survivors find themselves trapped in a basement in Texas after their country was hit by multiple nuclear strikes. Recommended by a fan of Cinema Cocoa, I had zero expectations and no knowledge of the film. Limited release in 2012, the…
Review: The Purge – Election Year
The Purge: Election Year is a decent sequel to Anarchy in 2014, I got exactly what I have come to expect from a franchise trying to buck the trend. Leo Barnes, survivor and rebel against The Purge, is chief bodyguard of a senator who wishes to win the election so she can end The Purge…
Review: War Dogs
From director Todd Phillips, War Dogs is surprisingly serious in tone. Based off true events War Dogs follows David, a twenty-something American who has no idea what to do with his life. That is until he teams up with his eccentric school friend Erhaim and his business of selling military hardware to the US military….
Review: The Shallows
Wow, I was not prepared for how good The Shallows was going to be. A surfer looks to get away from her troubled life by going to the waves at a secluded bay, but when she goes just a little too far out, a great white shark arrives in waters far shallower than normal. Now…
Review: Nine Lives
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…
