A Warner Bros Picture, Written by Will Beall, Directed by Ruben Fleischer. The gangster genre has been a part of cinema for many years, and so has LA nostalgia, and this film embraces both. It is pure pulp, with style over substance and stars being allowed to be ‘cool’. It features every cliche in the […]

The Lovebirds (2020) – Review
A Netflix Original Picture, Written by Aaron Abrams, Brendan Gall, Martin Gero, Directed by Michael Showalter. One of the first films that’s switched homes due to Corona Virus was ‘The Lovebirds’ a comedy that was due out as a Paramount theatrical release just as the pandemic started the ravage the whole world, and it was […]
Tenet – Trailer Reaction
The film that the whole industry is talking about finally debuted its full trailer, and while there was no official confirmation of the release date on the trailer (to allow for it to keep showing if the date is delayed) the current consensus is that they are still aiming to open cinemas back up with […]
Justice League: Synder Cut – Announced
In a moment that has shocked the internet to its core, the long running fan movement to #ReleaseTheSynderCut has paid off as Zack Synder spectacularly announced he will work on and release a ‘Synder Cut’ of 2017s Justice League, to premiere on HBO Max in 2021. It could apparently take the form of 4 hour […]
Stuber (2019) – Review
A 20th Century Fox Picture, Written by Tripper Clancy, Directed by Michael Dowse. Stuber opens with Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista exchanging sharp ‘cop banter’ and then a shoot out, fight, and chase against the iconic Iko Uwais, and the whole sequence is very impressive and I was surprised, wondering what film we were about […]
Les Misérables (2012) – Review
A Universal Picture, Written by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schonberg, Herbert Kretzmer, Directed by Tom Hooper. Tom Hooper has had a very odd last decade. Three of his films became Oscar winning successes for both him and his cast, and ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘The Kings Speech’ were box office smashes too, and then ‘Cats’ […]
SCOOB! (2020) – Review
A Warner Bros Picture, Written by Matt Lierberman, Eyal Podell, Jonathon E. Stewart, Derek Elliott, Jack Donaldson, Adam Sztykiel, Directed by Tony Cervone. Scooby-Doo has lived on for over 50 years and has been a key part of the childhoods of multiple generations (including mine) so it is natural that Warner Bros would try and […]
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018) – Review
A StudioCanal Picture, Written by Kevin Hood, Don Roos, Tom Bezucha, Directed by Mike Newell. Mike Newell is a very experienced and well respected director, rightfully so, and his previous work made him a good candidate to tackle this story, and he made a good start in the cast of the lead star, but from […]
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) – Review
A Lionsgate Picture, Written and Directed by Burr Steers. Certain films are never made to win awards or be critical darlings, and even necessarily to be regarded as a ‘good movie’ but instead as a simply enjoyable film, and this is one. It is a real guilty pleasure for me. I honestly would’ve liked to […]
Blue Valentine (2010) – Review
A Weinstein Company Picture, Written by Derek Cianfrance, Cami Delavigne, Joey Curtis, Directed by Derek Cianfrance. Ryan Gosling has now partnered with Emma Stone in three films, culminating in the multiple Oscar winner ‘La La Land’ and that has now established them as one of modern cinemas great couples. This is true and they are […]
