The Day The Earth Stood Still moves less frequently than Keanu Reeves' expressionless face. Wise's original 1951 black-and-white sci-fi was a landmark of the genre, exploring an allegory of human violence that expressed the impression of post-WWII... Read the full review »

One Man Band musically tries to impress but is as memorable as a flat note. The beauty of Pixar's animated shorts, is their ability to emanate innovation and creativity. A chance for the team to experiment with various techniques. We saw it in the... Read the full review »

The Ridiculous 6 is unequivocally ridiculously atrocious. Y'know, sometimes I like to think that Adam Sandler gets a bad reputation because of his questionable work in 'Jack and Jill'. I graciously give him opportunities to win me over with his "c... Read the full review »

What To Expect When You're Expecting was expectedly dull and an unexpected baby repellent. As a sexual of the homo variety, with no desire for children/offspring/minions ever, I knew right from the first onscreen pregnancy test that I was not the... Read the full review »

Death Becomes Her consumes magical powers of youth to avoid typical roles for its actors. Freakishly bizarre. Absurdly unusual. Unnaturally weird. The schlocky originality that oozes out of every aspect that the film harnesses, is enough to make m... Read the full review »

Carrie opts for less blood, minimal religious fanaticism and zero scares. Let me just whip out the old "Rules on Remakes" book. No need to blow the dust off, I'm often opening this beast up. Let's see here...ah! Rule number one: Don't remake a fil... Read the full review »

La Haine incites provocative hatred within an uncompromising socioeconomic divide. The inevitable rise in impoverished settlements to cater for France's unwanted incline of immigrants was a blistering event that catapulted French governmental bodi... Read the full review »

Wall Street endeavours in archetypal financial greed, garnering lucrative results in the process. "The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do things you don't want to do.". One of many sentiments, and perfectly executed speeches, tha... Read the full review »

Downsizing shrinks its intriguing premise into a story of minuscule proportions. There's nothing more infuriating then observing a genius concept become mere waste. It's like staring at a light bulb as it flickers for two hours, waiting for its fi... Read the full review »

The Gallows kept hanging around for nothing and had me wanting to use a noose. Was the production budget dangling on a string of rope or something? Because this was cheaper than a school theatre production! The inexpensive and simple conception of... Read the full review »

Taken 2 seeks for vengeance by succumbing to sheer unnecessary stupidity. Paris was a no go. Istanbul was next! Eventually, Bryan Mills will end European tourism. Any successful film just cannot be left alone these days. Sequels, prequels and rema... Read the full review »

Midsommar brightly dances through fields of tulips to create an unsettling depiction of emasculation. "That was a waste of time" muttered the viewers behind me. "What on earth is going on?" laughed the friends in front of me. "That was hilarious!"... Read the full review »

Spider-Man: Far From Home swings from New York to Europe through floundering webs of exposition. Superhero fatigue is really kicking into full gear now, and not even my "Peter-Tingle" can avoid such a fate. I enjoyed 'Homecoming'. It had its flaws... Read the full review »

Pixels mishandles nostalgia whilst harnessing the memorability of a dusty arcade machine. As a video gamer myself, my childhood was in the midst of this iconic cultural movement. Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Galaga, Donkey Kong and of course Tetris. S... Read the full review »

Gigli gobbled up its romcom promise as if it was "turkey time". Oh boy. I'm questioning my life choices right now. To say that Gigli, sorry I mean "Jee-lee" if we're being pretentious, is a romantic comedy is the equivalent of stating that chlamyd... Read the full review »

Taken called up the European tourism board and left one sinister voice mail. Iconic. This generic action thriller is your typical run-of-the-(Bryan)mill(s) situation. Father desires to have a better relationship with his daughter, but unfortunatel... Read the full review »
