The Movie Diorama

RED 2 mistakingly hires double the amount of retirees and twice the bombastic action. "Bigger is better", so they say. Whilst that may apply to a variety of situations (televisions, equipment for after dark usage (if you catch my cold...) and Nico... Read the full review »

Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance attempts to avenge its predecessor on a flat tyre. Continuity. It may just be the most valuable asset to a franchise. In fact, it's the only quality that a sequel should uphold. Whether the films be a couple of year... Read the full review »

Girl, Interrupted abruptly infiltrates mental conditions through a solid, albeit inconsistent, characterised plot. There's only one film that truly tackles mental institutionalisation with enough heft and characterisation, that it remains the supe... Read the full review »

Let's Be Cops handcuffs itself into being the laziest comedy I've ever had the misfortune of watching. This is a first, ladies and gentlemen. I have never done this before in the entirety of my life, let alone in my current amateur critiquing days... Read the full review »

Ghost Rider rides the highway to hell, leading to a lifeless dead end of hopeless talent. I should've known. No, really. I should've. The same director who helmed that super successful superhero masterpiece known as "Blind Battfleck", I mean, 'Dar... Read the full review »

Presto humorously raises its curtains by paying homage to cartoonish tricks of old. If you've never watched 'Looney Tunes', 'Tom and Jerry' or even 'Scooby Doo', firstly please remove yourself from the insignificant rock that you reside under, and... Read the full review »

If Beale Street Could Talk gently explores racial discrimination and eternal love through expressionistic drama. Nuance. It's an approach that very few directors decide to take. The ability to fabricate raw emotions through minimal effort, whether... Read the full review »

Precious Cargo steals diamonds, black boxes and your valuable time. Precious Cargo? The only thing precious about this cargo is the scene where Willis, with all his antagonistic mannerisms (hint: the same as all his other performances), discusses... Read the full review »

RED is fully equipped with light action set pieces that shows the youth of today how it's done. Retired. Extremely. Dangerous. Three words that sums up my career of playing 'Mario Kart' at tournament "pro" level. But enough about my personal and s... Read the full review »

It: Chapter Two clowns around attempting to adapt a seemingly unadaptable second half. There's a cruel irony that haunts the now all grown-up Bill, a screenplay writer, that represents my opinion of King's infamous conclusive half. "The ending kin... Read the full review »

Spring Breakers dances through vivid neon colours sensorily with that added splash of objectification. If ever there was a film that I was destined to loathe, it would be this. Women partying in skimpy bikinis, devouring alcoholic beverages, sniff... Read the full review »

Daredevil is blinded by an overstuffed plot that feels more suited to an Evanescence music video. "Devil card, never leave the church without it". Honest to God, was fully expecting that line, that's the level of cringe we're dealing with here. Pr... Read the full review »

Final Destination uses its precognitive abilities to spawn a franchise devoid of suspense. Yes, another influential horror series that is ferociously mediocre and stupid beyond belief. The franchise filled with inventive death sequences, narrow su... Read the full review »

Incident in a Ghostland swiftly shows cracks within its porcelain psychological shell. Well, that was frustrating. Y'know when you sit down, watch a film, become absorbed by the world it lures you into, only to ascertain that precious time has bee... Read the full review »

United 93 is one biographical memorial that soars over any and all genre tropes. Any feature tackling the events of 9/11 is surrounded by a thin line that when crossed, ventures into the realms of sensationalising a tragic event for entertainment... Read the full review »

Get Him To The Greek sings through its unfocused plot quicker than a Metallica song. The British eccentric behaviour of the leather-coated Brand and the American lifestyle of the fatigued Hill was an odd combination to say the least. Two types of... Read the full review »
