American Pie Reunion is a social gathering that relies too heavily on nostalgia. Obviously the purpose of a reunion is to recall memories with friends and family where hopefully laughter and happiness is everywhere. In theory, that's how it should... Read the full review »

The Meg (2018) added to 2018 Movies Ranked list.
TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.

The Meg opens wide and takes a bite out of the summer season. A shark film with an extensive budget whilst still incorporating B-movie tropes to heighten its ludicrousness. Trust me, it's stupid, yet simultaneously disposable fun. Unfortunately, i... Read the full review »

Luxo Jr. delightfully grants personalities to a couple of desk lamps. In what is a substantial step up from the studio's first venture into animation, this short film iconised Pixar's mascot. A mischievous playful desk lamp named Luxo Jr. as it sk... Read the full review »

Daybreakers sucks the life out of sci-fi and brings life to the vampire sub-genre. An original vampire flick? Impossible! Yet, the Spierig brothers managed to flip a typical clichéd vampire story on its head to create something as fresh as human... Read the full review »

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is both mysterious and benign as its enigmatic extraterrestrials. This is a review of the theatrical cut. However after watching this spectacle, both the special edition and director's cut will be viewed in the f... Read the full review »

The Eye managed to blind me with its mediocrity. Another American remake that pales in comparison to the original, this time written by the same individual who wrote 'Snakes on a Plane'. Need I honestly say more? A blind woman undergoes a cornea t... Read the full review »

Silent Hill Revelation is unnecessary, incomprehensible and just utter rubbish. From someone who has a soft spot for its predecessor and believes 'Silent Hill 3' is one of the greatest horror video games ever, it disappoints me that this adaptatio... Read the full review »

'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' is a classic 90s feel-good drama bolstered by an impeccable supporting performance. Leonardo DiCaprio. Even at such a young age, he garnered acclaim for his performances to which this challenging role may just be one... Read the full review »

Elle (2017) added to 2017 Movies Ranked list.
TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.

Elle manages to thrill audiences through exaggerative eroticism with questionable plot points. Psychologically stimulating throughout, Verhoeven portrays a different response to the invasive penetration of rape. One I haven't seen before, and cons... Read the full review »

Rush Hour 3 packs a few comedic moments during its rushed hour...and a half. This third instalment to the unlikely buddy cop duo is a guilty pleasure. Every fibre of this film is mediocre. From Ratner's direction, predictable plot, forgettable sce... Read the full review »

The Adventures of André and Wally B. acts as conceptual art rather than entertainment. It was proof that motion blur techniques and complex 3D objects could be used against a partially rendered background. This was the birth of the greatest anima... Read the full review »

TheMovieDiorama rated and reviewed a movie.

Ant-Man and the Wasp shrinks so far down that it in itself becomes pointless. What I can only describe as the biggest disappointment of the year thus far, this entry into Marvel's epic cinematic universe is possibly their weakest yet. In this chap... Read the full review »

Paris Is Burning intelligently explores a variety of LGBT themes without cultural appropriation. Documentaries that singlehandedly convey one person's life are far easier than to tackle an entire culture, so director Livingstone had a challenge ah... Read the full review »

Sanctum contains mesmerising underwater sequences but is just as hollow as its network of caves. The only reason this film gained traction was due to Cameron having his name attached as executive producer. Remove that, and I doubt many would've se... Read the full review »

Mike's New Car settles for visual humour that only just conveys their monstrous personalities. Pixar's short animations tend to be either original meaningful films or continuations of existing intellectual property. A slight diversion from 'Monste... Read the full review »

Horrible Bosses showcases three self-obsessed individuals to create a humorous comedy. Bosses, who would have them? No one likes being told what to do. It's human nature to not want to be bossed around like a minion whilst the head honcho is makin... Read the full review »

The Hills Have Eyes 2 cannot overcome the mountainous clichés that made me gouge my own eyes out. The remake, whilst not particularly great, was tolerable and did showcase some excellent use of horror by perpetuating gore and strong sexual threat... Read the full review »
