Review - Baby Driver

The most unique film you're going to need to see this week. Here's the review for Baby Driver!

Described as a ‘jukebox musical action crime comedy’ Baby Driver is the latest unique film from writer and director Edgar Wright, who you may know as the director of the likes of Shaun of the Dead and Hot fuzz. A young man going only by ‘Baby’ (Ansel Elgort) operates as a getaway driver for a powerful crime boss (Kevin Spacey) on his continuing robberies. Unique in his ways due to a hearing…

Review - The Mummy (2017)

Somewhere out there Brendan Fraser is having a right laugh. Here's my 'The Mummy' review.

Review - Wonder Woman

She's a wonder, WONDER WOMAAAAAAAAN

Fresh from being introduced to the DC cinematic universe in Batman vs Superman – and arguably one of the few good things about the film – Wonder Woman gets her own big screen feature to tell us the story of where she came from. Raised by a race of female warriors known as the Amazons, Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) lives on the hidden island of Themyscira. After the god of war Ares rebels against his…

Review - Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge

Review – Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge

I have to confess that I’ve always had a soft spot for the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The first – in my opinion – is a classic, the second and third were good fun and I enjoyed Ian McShane in the fourth. Through all of that I thought they were fun to watch and I’ve gone back to watch the original a few times since. You might even call them a guilty pleasure. As you can imagine the upcoming…

Review - Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2

After calling vol.1 my favourite film of 2015, Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 has work to do.

Before the original Guardians of the Galaxy was released back in 2015, most of the viewing public had written off the film as a flop. No one was particularly familiar with the characters and it looked like it was going to be an over packed mess. Instead we ended up getting what was arguably one of the films of the year that was filled with a charming cast and some of the most impeccable music…

Review - Mindhorn

Mindhorn was released this week, but is it worth a cinema ticket before it ends up on Netflix?

During the 1980’s Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barrett) was known all over England as suave TV detective Mindhorn. Years after the TV show has ended, Richard still believes himself to be an absolute star while everyone else involved with the show has moved on with their lives and their careers. His only ray of hope is a call from police on the Isle of Man. A young woman has been murdered and her…

Review - Fate of the Furious (Fast and Furious 8)

8th Fast and Furious film. Time to address the bald, corona drinking elephant in the room.

The latest installment in the long running Fast and Furious franchise – the 8th being called Fate of the Furious elsewhere – sees the gang return for more international heist work in lavish cars with big stunts and explosions. Dom (Vin Diesel) has gone rogue, turned against his friends and family and shacked up with cyberterrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron) to steal weapons and other assorted items…

With the potential to be the horror film of the year, here's my review for Get Out ‘A young African-American man visits his Caucasian girlfriend's mysterious family estate’ says IMDB. If you have any remote interest in seeing Get Out, let’s just leave the plot at that and recommend a viewing before it leaves cinemas.

After 17 years and 8 other X-Men movies, Hugh Jackman returns as James ‘Logan’ Howlett aka Wolverine for one final time. Set in the near future, Logan currently makes a hopeless and depressing living as a limo driver for whoever gives him a call.

Review - The Lego Batman Movie

DARKNESS. NO PARENTS. CONTINUED DARKNESS. THE OPPOSITE OF LIGHT. LEGO BATMAN MOVIE.

When The Lego Movie was released a few years ago, everyone was taken by surprise by just how fun and enjoyable it was. One of the surprising features was its interpretation of Batman (voiced by Will Arnett). Instead of looming over the night and being dark and mysterious, he writes his own rock songs and like to tell everyone how cool he is and how everything should be black. It was brilliant,…

Review - Split

A fantastic performance from James McEvoy breathes new life into M. Night Shyamalan in Split.

Poor ‘auld M. Night Shyamalamalamalam…alan. He hasn’t had the best track record over the last number of years when it comes to writing and directing. The Sixth Sense comes out and everyone thinks you’re the next big thing and your next two or three films are pretty good. Unbreakable became a cult classic and I still find it hard to watch Signs because of that bit at the kid’s birthday party.…
