REVIEW: 1917 (2019)
World War One is not as well-known or depicted widely in popular culture in the US as much as the UK. Up until the No Man’s Land scene in Wonder Woman (2017), it was mainly World War Two that has been given the big-budget film…
REVIEW: Men in Black International (2019)
The Men in Black franchise has taken an odd path to get here – Barry Sonnenfeld’s first outing in 1997 was an excellent example of a blockbuster – it had tonnes of originality, excellent performances (and chemistry, using the mismatched buddy cop formula well, with…
REVIEW: Cold Pursuit (2019)
This 2019 American black comedy thriller is directed by Hans Petter Moland as a remake of his own native 2014 vigilante film ‘In Order of Disappearance’ and stars Liam Neeson, Tom Bateman, Emmy Rossum, William Forsythe, Julia Jones, Domenick Lombardozzi and Laura Dern. Mild-mannered Kehoe…
REVIEW: Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
In recent years, there seems to be an influx in manga-to-film adaptations: last year saw the release of Netflix’s Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist and the year before saw the release of the US live-action adaptations of Death Note and Ghost in the Shell. Unfortunately,…

REVIEW: Polar (2019)
This 2019 neo-noir action film, based on the comic series of the same name, is directed by Jonas Åkerlund and stars Mads Mikkelsen, Vanessa Hudgens, Katheryn Winnick and Matt Lucas. As the world’s greatest assassins Duncan ‘The Black Kaiser’ Vizla prepares to retire, his boss…
REVIEW: Aquaman (2018)
The DCEU badly needs a win. To say the DCEU has had peaks and troughs is something of an understatement. Despite, for my part, ‘Man of Steel’ being far stronger than the wider consensus says, and ‘Wonder Woman’ being as universally acclaimed as it is,…
REVIEW: Mortal Engines (2018)
Based on the book by Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines is set in a post-apocalyptic future where in order to survive, whole towns and cities are on wheels, roaming the Earth looking for fuel. Smaller towns are on the constant lookout for predator cities, London being…
REVIEW: Robin Hood (2018)
REVIEW: The Meg (2018)
You know it, I know it, heck even Jason Statham knows it – The Meg is not to be taken seriously. Tongue firmly in cheek, the director Jon Turteltaub has put together a surprising summer blockbuster which tries to be as big as ‘The Meg’…
