The Movie Diorama

Underworld: Blood Wars has sucked all the blood out of this franchise. A fifth instalment and the series continues to grow more convoluted and formulaic with every new entry. Whilst acknowledging the hideous reviews this garnered, I was expecting... Read the full review »

Tangled lets its hair down producing yet another Disney classic. I've been avoiding this in an attempt to heighten the minimal amount of masculinity that I've acquired throughout my life. Rapunzel on a pink front cover doesn't convey laddish testo... Read the full review »

Underworld: Awakening has no bite and little to bark about. This is the pivotal moment of a franchise, four films in and you naturally question the legitimacy for another chapter to exist. In Awakening's case, it marks the gradual downfall for the... Read the full review »

REVISED REVIEW: Let me start off by saying I loved the rebooted game that this was adapted from. 'Tomb Raider' essentially rejuvenated a series that was rapidly becoming fossilised. It's unfortunate that this adaptation did not produce the same re... Read the full review »

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans proves to be an unnecessary prequel. In an attempt to shake the series, we no longer have Selene decimating vampires and lycans...she was too busy being a US marshal in Antarctica (translates to Beckinsale filming 'W... Read the full review »

Underworld: Evolution neither regresses or evolves. Three years later, mainstream vampire flicks remain dormant and so Wiseman and his team produce the inevitable sequel. Critics lambasted it, audiences enjoyed it...I'm with the latter. He's upped... Read the full review »

Underworld is the female equivalent of 'Blade'. Whether you view that as pleasant or hideous is up to you, I for one believe it to be a refreshing change despite being released during the height of the 'Blade' franchise. The vampiric Death Dealer... Read the full review »

A View To A Kill dances into a fire that's just been extinguished. Apologies, I had to get Duran Duran's classic theme song in the title sentence somehow! Needless to say this entry is one of the weakest, yet it's garnered a small following claim... Read the full review »

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is a powerfully raw emotional journey. Nominated for Best Picture back in 2011 which garnered some hate, with many considering that it should've been omitted. I can say with the utmost of confidence, I infinitely... Read the full review »

Resident Evil: Vendetta follows the exact same tired formula as its predecessors. Unlike the live action franchise, the animated series feels closer to the source material that Capcom have lovingly crafted for all these years. The main issue with... Read the full review »

Killing Them Softly utilises gritty violence as a political statement. Critics loved it, audiences felt indifferent and so I went in extremely open minded not knowing what to expect. I came out surprised, I wanted a decent crime thriller and I rec... Read the full review »

Power Rangers is a superhero film aimed for younger audiences. The attempted reboot of another franchise...that no one asked for. In a decade where Marvel rules the saturated superhero genre, there is no requirement for more especially when it's f... Read the full review »

Going In Style exuberantly moves along swiftly with extreme shallow depth. Meaningless fun is the best description for this comedy caper that enables its central stars to relax and have a good laugh. Narratively speaking though, it lacks heft and... Read the full review »
