Onward (2020) Review

For a kids’ movie, there sure are a lot of crotch shots in Onward Pixar’s latest animated offering manages, in the space of its opening five minutes, to essay a more rewarding and credibly convincing blend of magic in the modern world than J K Rowling managed in seven books and ten movies of her ..

The Flintstones (1994) Review

The Flintstones (1994) Review

Although it was thankfully made before the ironic post-modern obsession with jamming rebooted properties with plenty of mayfly pop culture references, it means there’s no real attempt to update the original cartoon’s cultural touchpoints and so we have The Flintstones’ reskinning of “The Honeymooners” preserved in amber and then mined and revived for the big screen, an adventure $46million in the making

Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) Review

Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) Review

Thirty years later, Bill and Ted’s first adventure has lost none of its excellence Uninterested in historical accuracy or scientific credibility, time-twisting comedy adventure “Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure” still manages to make it’s warped plotline make sense and entertain in equal measure. In the small town of San Dimas, Bill S Preston Esq (Alex ..

Crisis On Infinite Earths Review

The CW finds fun in fan service as it attempts a Crisis On Infinite Earths It may be trying to pull off “Infinity War”/ “Endgame” with the production values of “Doctor Who” but there’s no denying that the assemblage of likeable leads and an astonishingly ambitious agenda of bringing in as many elements of DC ..

Ulysses 31

Ulysses 31

The way back to Ulysses 31 can never be wiped from my memory bank Looking back at 35 years of travelling through unknown stars. It’s entirely possible that you’ve never heard of “Ulysses 31”, the French-Japanese anime series celebrating the 35th Anniversary of its UK TV premiere this week, but for this then 11-year-old “Star ..

Trolls World Tour (2020) Review

Trolls World Tour (2020) Review

In a season already overloaded with candy, Trolls World Tour offers a further opportunity to exceed your RDA of artificial colourings and synthetic sweetener.

The Ice Pirates (1984) Review

The Ice Pirates (1984) Review

Tongue firmly in cheek, cheap and deliberately cheerful, The Ice Pirates is the eccentric uncle of Guardians Of The Galaxy Something of the odd one out in this stroll down movie memory lane, “The Ice Pirates” is a favourite cheesy movie that I came across much later in life than the age of 10 or ..

Space Raiders (1983) Review

Space Raiders (1983) Review

Recycled sci-fi saga Space Raiders is nowhere near as good as the crisps which bear its name The foremost example of movie adaptations of corn-based snack foods, “Space Raiders” the movie actually bears little resemblance to its crispy namesakes (probably because it predates them by about four years). It does, however, have a similar nutritional ..

Star Crash (1978) Review

Star Crash (1978) Review

Star Crash is car crash cinema – I don’t want to look but I can’t turn away The thing about doing a season of reviews is that it tends to play merry hell with your watchlist recommendations, thus, having rewatched “Krull”, “The Ice Pirates”, “Battle Beyond The Stars” and “Space Raiders” etc.,  “Star Crash” kept ..
