REVIEW: Without Remorse (2021)
Michael B. Jordan has managed to crack every single franchise he’s put his name to. His success with Creed has him set for a third round that’ll also see him in the director’s chair, and not only was he the best thing in Black Panther,…
REVIEW: Nobody (2021)
Many films are born out of what-ifs, and most of those what-ifs are opposites of what’s already there. For Nobody, it looks at John Wick, specifically the first film, and picks avenues previously left alone. Our hitman protagonist still has a wife. He has a…
REVIEW: Outside the Wire (2021)
Netflix’s latest action movie is set in 2036 and sees the American military acting as a peace keeping force at the Ukraine/Russia border after a civil war breaks out led by warlord Victor Koval (Pilou Asbæk). Drone pilot Lieutenant Harp (Damson Idris) is our guide…
REVIEW: Greenland (2020)
Given the disaster movie genre’s penchant for releasing their films in pairs, like with 1996’s Twister and Tornado!, or 1997’s Dante’s Peak and Volcano, or 1998’s Armageddon and Deep Impact, I wait with bated breath for whichever film is paired with Greenland, the latest Gerard…
TV REVIEW: The Boys – Season 2: Episodes 4 & 5
If you’re anything like me, it wasn’t until Episode 3 that you were fully on board with The Boys’ sophomore season. Certainly, the show had its own massive boots to fill after the first season was nothing short of a global phenomenon, but where Season…
REVIEW: Crazy Samurai Musashi (Fantasia 2020)
One-take sequences are seemingly all the rage at the moment, especially following the box office success of Sam Mendes’ seamlessly edited war drama 1917. Action sequences particularly lend themselves to this form, take the crazy church sequence from Kingsman: The Secret Service or the iconic hallway attack in Oldboy for example. So…
TV REVIEW: The Boys – Season 2: Episode 1-3
In 2019, when all the world was abuzz with Captain’s being worthy and iron men no longer being with us, a small band of supe-hating heroes snuck in through the back door and caused absolute chaos, knocking the idea of cape-wearing crusaders on its arse…
REVIEW: Mulan (2020)
There were moments in this year when it felt like we would never get to this point. Originally set for release in cinemas at the end of March 2020, Disney’s latest live action offering instead ended up in release date limbo, seemingly competing with Christopher…
REVIEW: The Paper Tigers (Fantasia 2020)
Lo, writer-director’s Tran Quoc Bao’s debut feature might be a superhero story. On a thunderous, sinister night in Seattle, a Mr. Cheung (Roger Yuan) — sifu to three gung fu disciples Danny, Hing and Jim — is cornered by an unknown assailant. Makes his last…
REVIEW: The New Mutants (2020)
There are two instances in Josh Boone’s The New Mutants – the X-Men spin-off that’s been on the bricks since 2018 – that we get a glimpse of the very sort of vibe he was aiming for through another band of misfits. In between what we can only assume…
REVIEW: Tenet (2020)
Leaving the busiest screening I had been in since cinemas reopened, I could not shake the feeling of total awe. For 150 spellbinding minutes, Christopher Nolan earned my undivided attention, encouraged my active participation in the deliriously enigmatic plot presented in front of me, and…
REVIEW: The Tax Collector (2020)
“I’ll ride with you till the wheels fall off…” Three years since Bright hit Netflix, David Ayer is behind the camera once again for his latest film, The Tax Collector. If you’re familiar with Ayer’s filmography then you’ll probably think that the plot of this…
REVIEW: Greyhound (2020)
Debuting exclusively on Apple TV+ following a remarkable $70 million deal, Greyhound marks the return of Tom Hanks’ to a World War II setting, following Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan and Bridge of Spies.
