Stupid plot, over-acted, Mary Poppins accents, Illogical technology. Embarrassing to watch.   I give this film a well deserved 1.0/10.0.

I really liked the first Creed movie, it was a great reboot, with tight writing and great characters. This is more of the same. It’s well written, with rounded characters and back story. Even Dolph Lungdren’s character gets a back-story makeover, and while the film definitely skirted cheesy, it never stepped over the line. Even a dodgy cameo by Brigitte...

What a shame. This could have been great, but instead it’s cliche-ridden, predictable, with poor, lazy writing. A waste of Claire Foy’s talent. I give this 4.0/10.0

D-Day you say? A classic war film maybe? With our plucky heroes ordered to blow up a Radar station so our brave boys can get ashore on the Normandy beaches? What, Nazi Zombies as well?!?! I’m in! J.J.Abrams is a master of the tightly-paced, tension-filled, absolutely-terrifying-while-simultaneously-complete-nonsense horror-thriller, and this is another one to add to the collection. Is it great...

Widows uses a fabulous ensemble cast (the amazing Viola Davis, Liam Neeson, Michelle Rodriguez and Elizabeth Debicki) to tell a fast-paced story of four recent widows, forced by circumstance, to complete the heist their four husbands failed to fully complete. It’s well written, well-paced, and with a highly-skilled director in Steve McQueen (Hunger, Shame, and the awesome 12 Years A...

Captain Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) is hunting for a U.S. sub lost under the Arctic Circle. The race is on to save the sailors and find out what happened. What’s that you say? A surprise Russian coup has toppled their leader, and the only hope to rescue to world from descending into WWIII is to send in Joe Glass with...

When I first heard about Damien Chazelle’s First Man I was expecting to see another great space movie, something along the lines of Apollo 13 perhaps, or even Gravity. What I got was indeed a great movie (mostly), but it wasn’t a space movie. This is not a story of heroes going further, going faster, doing things we couldn’t ever expect to...

I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for Blake Lively since I watched The Age of Adaline. What? I liked it and I’m not embarrassed to admit it! A simple favour follows a somewhat tightly-wound single-mom blogger called Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), and a wild, haute couture, live-life-to-the-full Emily (Blake Lively). They are extremes, but become bound together when Emily...

If you’ve been following these reviews you’ll see quite a few movies that I’ve been negative about. I’m always looking for great films to watch, and I’m clear that not all great films make money. Take Solo: A Star Wars story for example. But a Mark Wahlberg film is usually a strong contender on both counts. I’ve enjoyed a lot...

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!!! The first Predator movie was awesome nonsense. Much like Commando, Arnie was a tour-de-force of muscle and great one-liners. The movie never took itself too seriously, but it delivered a great cinema experience. The sequels were successively poor, besmirching the brand and squandering what could have been a very strong series. So, this time around would...
