Possum (2018) Review

Possum (2018) Review

Writer/ Director Matthew Holness knows exactly which strings to pull in chilling puppet horror Possum Nerve-shreddingly tense, atmospheric and exquisitely crafted, “Possum” is an artisanal horror movie, the craft of both cast and crew shining through in every detail. When a disgraced children’s puppeteer is forced to return to his childhood home, he must confront ..

Doctor Who: The Tsuranga Conundrum Review

Doctor Who: The Tsuranga Conundrum Review

  Aʻohe hana means ‘no action’, which is one of the main problems with The Doctor & Stitch I missed watching “Doctor Who” live for the first time this series due to family fireworks commitments but having caught up now, I don’t regret my choice because there was precious little spark in “The Tsuranga Conundrum”, ..

Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review

Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review

Welcome to the hellmouth, we’ve got double games If Hammer House Of Horror had produced “Spaced”, the result could have been a lot like “Slaughterhouse Rulez”. A common room home brew of British Boarding School classics like “If….” and “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (the 1969 version specifically) mixed with “Ghostbusters” and dash of “Harry Potter”, this ..

Blade (1998) Review

Blade (1998) Review

Before Blade, superhero movies were always trying to ice skate uphill Twenty years before “Black Panther”, Marvel partnered with New Line to release a black-led superhero movie which would see them help kick-start the current superhero boom as well as changing the course of their movie adaptations to that point.

Doctor Who: Demons Of The Punjab Review

Lush production values help elevate another educational but underbaked historical adventure for the Doctor Shirt Watch: Red Previously, on “Doctor Who”: they not only recovered the TARDIS but also tangled with the Death-Eye Turtle Army (the alternate Season 11 that we’re not being shown sounds amazing). We now return to Yaz’ Gran’s birthday party already ..

The Core (2003) Review

The Core (2003) Review

It’s [scientific credibility] murder on the Core-ient express! If “Battleship” is a dumb remake of “Independence Day” (itself a dumb remake of “War Of The Worlds”) then “The Core” is the dumbest possible reimagining of Jules Verne’s “Journey To The Centre Of The Earth”, combining ludicrously inaccurate science with terrible characters and stupefying dialogue (“Hack ..

Doctor Who: The Witchfinders Review

Doctor Who: The Witchfinders Review

The Doctor, the Witch and the wardrobe department Shirt Watch: Blue (I’m the only person doing shirt watch, aren’t I?) If last week’s episode was a move towards Doctor Who orthodoxy, “The Witchfinders” positively revels in Doctor Who tropery and it’s all the better for it. I found myself hunting for something to snark about ..

Doctor Who: Kerblam! Review

Doctor Who: Kerblam! Review

Kerblam! offers us an express delivery of Doctor Who prime Shirt Watch: Blue I’ve never been a fan of the chaotically turbulent TARDIS travel that’s become a hallmark of the revived Doctor Who. It makes sense when the Doctor is trying to get the TARDIS to do something extreme, such as hopping dimensions or crossing ..

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald (2018) Review

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald (2018) Review

To fall victim to one dark lord may be considered a misfortune. For it to happen on a cyclical basis suggests a fundamental structural flaw in your society There’s a touch of vanity to the new Wizarding World logo which follows the Warner Bros shield at the start of “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Gindelwald”, ..
