The Movie Diorama

The Spy Who Dumped Me broke up over an uninspired text instead of a hilarious conversation. Already, even before placing the glistening blu-ray disc into the tray, this action comedy had an immediate obstacle to overcome. Feig’s simplistically n... Read the full review »

City of Bones fantasises about every other YA franchise and unimaginably copies them. “The Twilight Maze Runner: Host of I Am Number Four”. When every fantasy adaptation involving pretty boys, uninspired magic and demonic creatures gets compar... Read the full review »

Rubber wears its ridiculous premise thin with questionably pretentious direction. This should’ve been bonkers. This should’ve been bizarre entertainment. This should’ve been the epitome of b-movie homages with plenty of schlocky gore and hil... Read the full review »

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark naively blossoms as the campy witch that rules over cult classics. The words “cult” and “classic” have always made me sceptical. My sudden apprehension that I may not understand or appreciate the gradual follow... Read the full review »

Joker maniacally descends into madness but really the joke is on us for watching it. Let’s start off with the opinion that automatically grants me a place in the minority club. I didn’t like Joker. I’ll say it again in case it offended you t... Read the full review »

The Final Destination is a predictable car crash right from the starting line. Oh boy. This rip-roaring mess. As you may know by now, I believe the ‘Final Destination’ franchise to be disposable entertainment that is beyond mediocre. The serie... Read the full review »

Money Monster banks its thrills on a basic yet competently approachable hostage situation. Thrillers revolving around the New York Stock Exchange aren’t unknown. Money devised as a property of greed is a simple yet relatable plot device and Fost... Read the full review »

The Green Inferno sets the activism world ablaze with Roth’s juvenile and insufferable approach. He needs to get over himself, as it’s tarnishing fairly decent material that could’ve been so much more. Apparently paying homage to Italian can... Read the full review »

The Watch crudely imitates a variety of extraterrestrial features with uninspired results. Watch out! It’s the neighbourhood watch, and they’re here to investigate alien activity whilst constantly talking about phallic objects. Keep your doors... Read the full review »

Transformers disguises its robotic flaws with stupendous amounts of adrenaline. Give Michael Bay a budget and he’ll spend it. Wisely or not is up for debate. But damn, the man-child that he truly is certainly is presented through his mind-numbin... Read the full review »

Finding Your Feet dances charmingly with two weary left feet. I’m a sucker for feel-good dramas, especially those equipped with British charm and veteran actors. Lovely uplifting films allowing you to put your feet up and enjoy a nice warm cuppa... Read the full review »

The Possession interestingly presents divorce before spouting clichéd Jewish jargon. It’s always a surprise when you watch another exorcism-based horror that turns out to be, well, not terrible. Especially when low-budget mainstream features ar... Read the full review »

[Rec] 4 Apocalypse returns to familiar shores but bloodily sinks mid-route. Balagueró returns to direct, Velasco is back to finish business and no more wedding shenanigans. This was poised to be a claustrophobic restoration of a series that comme... Read the full review »

Under The Skin exasperates through contemporary concepts and otherworldly perspectives. This. This is what film is all about. Blockbusters have their purpose as mindless delectable entertainment, but artistic interpretation is what truly inspires.... Read the full review »

The Big Short triggers a crisis of its own by treating its audience like children. Ladies and gentlemen, I bestow upon you the most frustrating film to ever exist in our plane of reality. You ready for more controversy? I don’t like The Big Shor... Read the full review »

21 & Over offers enough unfunny forewarnings to make you yearn for your teenage years. Perhaps becoming an adult isn’t so hilarious after all. Jeff Chang would agree. The poor boy, now fully evolved into manhood, ironically has a teddy bear supe... Read the full review »
