The Movie Diorama

A Wrinkle In Time wrinkles away in a timely fashion. One of my most anticipated of the year ultimately becomes one of the most disappointing. Whether it be studio interference from Disney or source material too complex to adapt, this film fell fla... Read the full review »

The Boss Baby is unable to balance infancy and adulthood. After the first few minutes, it sprung into my mind that this was incredibly similar to 'Storks'. Imaginatively illustrating where babies come from to create an entertaining animation. What... Read the full review »

Call Me By Your Name is sweet, tender and juicy like a fresh (not used) apricot. I have to get this off my chest immediately, "call me by your name and I'll call you by mine" is easily the best line of dialogue of 2017. Now that's out of the way,... Read the full review »

Unsane utilises its limited camera equipment to create a stripped back psychological thriller. Supposedly entirely filmed on the ever popular iPhone mobile device, it proves that directors and aspiring filmmakers do not require expensive IMAX came... Read the full review »

Fences faithfully adapts the Pulitzer-prize winning play but lacks cinematic edge. It's very difficult to manage expectations when the talent on and off screen is immeasurable. Washington acting and directing, Davis, Wilson's original drafted scre... Read the full review »

I, Frankenstein is just as soulless as its titular creation. How many times does Hollywood want to rinse Mary Shelley's novel dry? 'Frankenstein', 'Bride of Frankenstein', 'Young Frankenstein', 'Van Helsing' and even 'Frankenweenie'. All the same... Read the full review »

Oliver and Company needs more "hot dawg" meat to its "New Yark City" setting. Most certainly one of the lesser known entries in Disney's canon and unfortunately one of the most forgettable. A modernisation of Dickens' Oliver Twist, a homeless kitt... Read the full review »

Peter Rabbit is as fluffy as a bunny's tail. Well, this took me by surprise. James Corden, controversy, CGI animation, all the horrific ingredients to create a mass produced animation just to make money. Much to my dismay, I succumbed to the cuten... Read the full review »

Triangle feels more elliptical as it spins your head round in circles. Unusual marketing this, targeting horror audiences and claiming to be frightening. Please do not make the mistake of going into this presuming you will be scared...you won't be... Read the full review »

The Apparition apparently appeals aplenty albeit abhorrently. You see that alliteration right there? There's more creativity and originality in that sentence in comparison to the whole film. Oh. My. God. It's just a montage of scenes from other ho... Read the full review »

Men In Black blasts its way to galactic blockbuster heights. If you think of 90s sci-fi blockbusters, the likes of 'Independence Day' and 'The Matrix' immediately spring to mind. However, for family entertainment one would glance at Men In Black,... Read the full review »

Hacksaw Ridge marks a triumphant return for Mel Gibson. Ten years since his last directorial effort 'Apocalypto' and many were wondering if he could match the excellence of his previous work, especially since this hiatus consisted of many controve... Read the full review »

Brother Bear is a colourful furry animation that lacks a mighty roar. It's extremely difficult for a well renowned animation studio to consistently pump out masterpieces, and instead opt to release lesser stories for artistic value. This film is e... Read the full review »

Battle: Los Angeles explosively bursts with monotonous war clichés and mind-numbing action sequences. Another year, another obligatory mediocre war blockbuster with the inclusion of A-listers in a bid to make money. Surprisingly I can survive the... Read the full review »
