Without the character conflicts that have previously made Marvel movies tick, Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ tone-deaf story of a rich couple against the world will leave you numb, uncomfortable, and dreaming of better films.

WHAT I LIKED: You'd be forgiven for worrying that a Hollywood movie about the war on terror might try to glamorise or normalise America's tactics and involvement in Iraq. But happily, William Monahan and Ridley Scott's 'Body of Lies,' makes the CI... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Barry Sonnenfeld's 'Men in Black,' is genuinely one of the strangest films I've ever seen.
Alien refugees live secretly among humans on Earth, and the Men in Black monitor their activity, wipe the memories of anyone who discovers th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Ballerina,' is exactly what you'd expect from a John Wick universe movie. Viscerally filmed and choreographed action set-pieces which will have you on the edge of your seat. Some tantalizing world-building about a land of assasins w... Read the full review »

The Final Reckoning is one of the weaker Mission: Impossible entries, but it also serves as a reminder that few filmmaking teams can make action quite as gripping as these guys. If this is indeed the last entry, this series will be sorely missed.... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Darren Aronofsky's 'Black Swan,' is a sickening horror about a woman being driven to insanity by the expectations of the world around her. The world in question is the high-pressure environment of professional ballet, and the woman i... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A film about choosing a new pope may not sound interesting, but ‘Conclave,’ mostly serves to brilliantly expose the mystique and honour of the Catholic church as one ridiculous charade.
In part, that comes from the way that dire... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: In my opinion, James Cameron's 'Aliens,' is better than the first movie in almost every way, but largely because it delves far more into the corporate colonisation idea.
As the only sane and surviving member of her old crew, Ripley... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Horror is designed to be a mirror for the darkest parts of reality. But I can't think of many filmmakers who've utilised that fact quite as powerfully as Ryan Coogler does with his all-too real story of "white vampires," preying on b... Read the full review »
