Shazam! Fury Of The Gods (2023) Review Movie

Shazam! Fury Of The Gods (2023) Review

I’m not surprised the gods were angry after seeing this Shazam! Fury of the Gods had the privilege of following one of the DCEU’s most crowd-pleasing entries, a recipe seemingly simple: blend teenage antics with superheroics, wrap it all up in a snarky, self-aware package, and voilà. Yet, from the start, the film stumbles, ensnared ..

The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Episode 2

The Star-Spangled ManReview THE STAR-SPANGLED MAN sees us hopefully complete the series’ setup act as we get to know a little bit more about our new Captain America, a little bit more about the Flag-Smashers and a whole lot more about the Super Soldier Serum programme. Our two leads finally unite, brought together to bitch ..

3 Days To Kill (2014) Review Movie

3 Days To Kill (2014) Review

I have a lot of fun with Kevin Costner race against time spy caper 3 Days To Kill Having been one of the relatively bright spots in the otherwise forgettable “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit”, “3 Days To Kill” finds Kevin Costner back in the spy game, this time in a typically bonkers Luc Besson script ..

Caprice (1967) Review Movie

Caprice (1967) Review

A very different hairspray movie There are some motion pictures which are special to me for purely nostalgic reasons that have nothing to do with the movies themselves. “Caprice” is one such film. I remember, in a non-specific and probably rose-tinted way, watching it with my grandparents and it falls into a fuzzily-defined group of ..

BlacKkKlansman (2018) Review Movie

BlacKkKlansman (2018) Review

Spike Lee uses black comedy to showcase white horror in all its grotesquerie There’s a deep-rooted discomfort at the heart of “BlacKkKlansman” and it’s the fact that instead of being a historical, true story poking cautionary fun at the ignorance of the past, it instead feels like a howl of furious irony at the recidivism ..

The Nun II (2023) Review Horror

The Nun II (2023) Review

Horror’s answer to Where’s Wally is back in The Nun II Although I’ve had something of a love/ hate relationship with the horror genre over the years, one thing that’s always remained consistent is that horror based on Catholic iconography and catechism is like catnip to me, so it’s little wonder that THE NUN quickly ..

Suspiria (1977) Review Horror

Suspiria (1977) Review

“It’s useless to try and explain it to you…it all seems so absurd.” I’ve long had a love-hate relationship with horror that’s increasingly been completely out of step with the reality of my movie watching experience nowadays. I’ll avoid some horror movies purely because of their legendary reputation; I think they’ll end up freaking me ..

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Review James Bond

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Review

Nobody does it better indeed After the lacklustre and low-grossing “The Man With The Golden Gun”, “The Spy Who Loved Me” was to be a crucial film for the Bond franchise. Harry Saltzman had departed as producer due to financial problems, leaving Cubby Broccoli in sole charge. In total twelve writers worked on fifteen drafts ..

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Review Movie

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Review

With yet another reboot comes greater responsibility The previous “Amazing Spider-Man” movies showed us that Spider-Man’s most implacable foe was studio interference and while I personally enjoyed what Marc Webb and Andree Garfield were trying to do, there’s no denying “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” was a convoluted and overstuffed mess of studio-mandated world building which ..

Doctor Who: The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos Review Doctor Who

Doctor Who: The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos Review

The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos proves that even newer villains can feel a bit long in the tooth Shirt watch: blue. Well, here we are: “The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos”, the season finale, the capstone to the 13th Doctor’s first set of adventures. Time to find out what ‘the timeless child’ was all ..

Doctor Who: Legend Of The Sea Devils Review Doctor Who

Doctor Who: Legend Of The Sea Devils Review

Doctor Who: Legend Of The Sea Devils is a quintessentially underwhelming Chibnall special Penultimate adventures are a curious thing in DOCTOR WHO. Sometimes they’re entirely disconnected from the upcoming regeneration and sometimes they only reveal their true purpose retrospectively (such as THE KEEPER OF TRAKEN or PLANET OF FIRE where new companions were introduced to ..

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Review Movie

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Review

Can The Golden Circle grab the brass ring? “Kingsman: The Secret Service”, a gleefully disrespectful, violent and funny action reworking of “My Fair Lady” was an unexpected delight, right up until it ended on a decidedly bum note. Regrettably, in tuning up for the sequel, write Jane Goldman and director Matthew Vaughan have taken that ..

Playing With Fire (2019) Review Movie

Playing With Fire (2019) Review

Playing With Fire produces plenty of smoke but never catches alight Although “Playing With Fire” suffers from the same problem which blighted the 2016 “Ghostbusters” – every supporting cast member is competing to one-up each other in a game of schtick – once things settle down a little and John Cena starts to take ownership ..
