Green Room is one of those rare horrors that does one thing, but does it very well. It is an Eli Roth film, only good. A struggling punk rock band need some gigs and fast. Unfortunately they are directed to a concert at a place ran by Neo-Nazis, and quickly find themselves in a hostage…
Review: Paprika
Paprika is a mind bending visual feast, giving life to the surreal landscape of dreams with a detective story. DC Mini is a device that allows individuals to share dreams, to enter other peoples dreams and even allow others to alter someone’s dreams. It is now used for therapy and medical treatment, but when one…
Review: Captain America – Civil War
Captain America 3 is more like Avengers 2.5, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe becomes truly a running narrative because of it… Steve Rogers, leading the Avengers, continues to cause chaos across the world in a noble cause to stop terrorism, but powers that be have had enough. Spearheaded by Tony Stark, a new initiative is…
Review: The Jungle Book (1967)
Like most Disney classics, The Jungle Book is starting to show its age, but it is an enjoyable light hearted walk through the jungle with some great songs. Mowgli is a boy raised by wolves in the jungle, and while he is content living with them and the other animals, a tiger called Shere Khan…
Review: The Room
Like some sick, awful rite of passage for all film critics and film buffs, this is my burden to bear… the infamous “experience” that is The Room. It isn’t long before Johnny will marry Lisa, and while he struggles to get his promotion, he slowly discovers that despite being with her for seven years Lisa…
Review: Twilight Saga
You know, I have refused and resisted watching it for so long, the Internet was so rife with hatred for this series but you know… surprisingly compelling! Based off the phenomenon that is the Twilight b… Oh god guys, I cannot bear even joking about it… APRIL FOOLS ALREADY!
Banter: A Treatment of Batman Vs Superman
So, it is a regular thing that people discuss the extremely divisive Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice that released in cinemas on the 25th of March. It looks like the critics are seeing a deeply flawed but visually intense movie, but the public audiences generally enjoy it. Whether or not it is good or…
Review: Batman Vs Superman (2D)
Batman Vs Superman has had a difficult development to say the least. After 2013’s Man of Steel decidedly split audiences and with Marvel Studios streaking ahead with its Cinematic Universe, a sequel to Superman’s origin story was halted in favour for a duel with DC’s poster boy (and studio Warner Brothers’s favourite son) Batman. What…
Review: The Boy
I had every reason to be disappointed in The Boy. I don’t fall for the scares of ‘possessed doll’ horror films, but after putting up with it for a while, it actually evolved into something quite unique. A young American woman travels to the United Kingdom to babysit for a rich older couple looking to…
Review: 10 Cloverfield Lane
10 Cloverfield Lane plays its cards as ambiguously as its title, from start to finish. But it is a decently performed psychological thriller. A woman who is fleeing from her ex-boyfriend finds herself driven off the road and knocked unconscious. When she wakes she finds herself captive to a strange man deep in an underground…
