Green Book (2018) added to 2019 Movies Ranked list.
TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.

Green Book drives along a smooth road with minimal narrative bumps. I'm going to start my review a little differently, addressing many criticisms about the racial issues that are "glossed over". Not every film has to be a harrowing depiction of se... Read the full review »

Sisters feels more like an over-extended SNL skit. Fey and Poehler are back. The dream duo of modern comedy that essentially reinvigorated 'Saturday Night Live', and with other female-centric comedies gaining great success ('Bridesmaids' in partic... Read the full review »

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) added to 2019 Movies Ranked list.
TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.
5 years ago
Velvet Buzzsaw attempts to creatively cut through contemporary commercialism but slices itself in half. The subjectivity of art is one that is often discussed amongst many people. Whilst someone might view a pile of newspapers on a wooden floor as... Read the full review »

16 Blocks goes on for eight blocks too long. Donner, the director behind 'Lethal Weapon', can make a buddy cop film like a child can draw a stickman. It is his bread and butter. The filling in this action dramatic sandwich though tastes like vanil... Read the full review »

War of the Worlds battles its way through family turmoil and extraterrestrial invaders. There was only one director that could adapt H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi novel and make it applicable for the current century. That man is Steven Spielberg. Not... Read the full review »

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is definitely not "turtle-y" awesome. Whilst not directed by Michael Bay, his hand in the production team is clearly noticeable right from the first diagonal shot plagued with lens flares and...oh, would you look at th... Read the full review »

The Nightmare Before Christmas feels more like dark fantastical dream. A Christmas film disguised as a Halloween animation with the Easter Bunny tossed in for good measure. A holiday smorgasbord that is sure to frighten children with Burton's sign... Read the full review »

Final Destination 5 is five times familiar and five times "3D". As an individual that believes gimmicky 3D effects are just, well, unnecessary gimmicks, this fifth instalment purely focuses on blood, guts and eyes flying at your face. Whilst a ste... Read the full review »

Getaway is a title that should be taken literally. Go! Run away. Get as far away as you can. Don't succumb to this incoherent mess like I did, you all deserve better than that. A former race driver's wife is kidnapped to which he receives a phone... Read the full review »

The Mule (2018) added to 2019 Movies Ranked list.
TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.
5 years ago
The Mule drives in the slow lane and nearly gets a flat tyre. This is a major step up from Eastwood's previous directorial efforts with the absurdly boring 'The 15:17 to Paris'. A cast of talented actors, including himself, and a premise that beco... Read the full review »

How To Train Your Dragon 2 packs twice the amount of emotion and beautifully rendered dragon scales. When I said the first film caught me off guard with its surprising amount of intensity. Well, its sequel may have just bested it. From epic large... Read the full review »

August: Osage County packs plenty of powerhouse performances that overwhelm its dysfunctional narrative. Written by Letts and adapted from his own play, this prestigious drama contains the same issues that I outlined in my review for 'Fences'. Som... Read the full review »

How To Train You Dragon tames its mythical beasts through fiery action and emotional heft. I've been putting this off for years, and for the life of me I have no idea why. Dreamworks are often hit and miss for me, but this beautifully touching ani... Read the full review »

Vice (2018) added to 2019 Movies Ranked list.
TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.

Vice depicts the "world's most powerful man" through unsuccessful distractions. I've come to the conclusion that me and Adam McKay just aren't ever going to get along. We're not, we are incompatible. His dramatic efforts consistently fall short, w... Read the full review »

Paranormal Activity The Marked Ones unashamedly marked itself as one of the weakest. Did we need a spinoff? Was it necessary? The answer is quite simply no. But, in true low-budget franchise fashion, here we are. Stripping the entire essence of th... Read the full review »
