Mothers Instinct. (2024) Movie Review.
For a film with so much relative star power in its two leads (Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain), it’s surprising in theory how quietly this thriller has been shoved out into the world with no warning or prior knowledge, the trailer suddenly appeared in front of UK theatrical screenings and played for about a month before the film’s release. Having seen the final film when it was released in UK…

Tennis on Netflix Part 3. Break Point Season 2 /"The Netflix Slam"
On 10th March 2024 Netflix finally put its misbegotten Drive to Survive-esque attempt at a slice of the ATP and WTA tennis tours Break Point out of its misery. One can go and read the lengthy articles from this writer on both halves of the first season. In certain ways, much of what was true about those 10 episodes also applies to the softcore 6 installments The bottom line is that on a very…

Madame Web. Movie Review+ Into the (Live Action) Sony-Verse
We opened a Pandora’s Box to some of the most uncreative made by-committee studio filmmaking on the day of a certain hilariously campy but un-self-aware movie featuring Tom Hardy eating literal garbage and our antihero protagonist chowing down on some live lobster that he fishes out of a restaurant water tank released to the public and become a hit. Yes, it’s the Sony “Spiderman without…

Echo. (Disney +) Review.
The original intent was for this author to cover every single newly released piece of the MCU on this blog following the release of one Wandadivision. That’s only lasted for one more season of Falcon and The Winter Soldier. As one of the few viewers still keeping up with all the MCU-related visual content the release schedule for phases 4 and 5 may not be a lot in terms of the landscape of the…

Stranger Things: The First Shadow. (London) Review.
Note. Spoilers for season 4 of Stranger Things are ahead (and somewhat inevitable given that the season’s events are directly tied to the premise of the new play being reviewed here.). With every Stranger Things affiliated project that drops ( especially in the wait between seasons 4 and 5, there is the question of just how ridiculously lavish and expensive the whole thing is going to come…

Mean Girls ( 2024 Musical Movie.) Review./Watch Girls5eva Insteded
The original Mean Girls was something of a blind spot for this viewer until he watched it randomly during the pandemic when it had a run on UK Netflix. It’s one of those films that’s had enough pop and meme cultural penetration that this watcher just assumed he knew all of the memetic catchphrases and quoted moments via osmosis. A certain amount of that is true but the inherent surprise in…

The (Live) "Room Where It Happens" Finally on the Road. Hamilton UK Tour (Edinburgh) Review.
Authors note. This article will assume some knowledge of the show and material. This isn’t necessarily a “spoiler” piece per se (it’s hard to judge what counts as a spoiler with media as distinctly saturated and based on a certain level of historical fact/fiction. Nevertheless, if you are unfamiliar with Hamilton as a property or plan for this UK tour to be your first experience of said show, it…

Ferrari. (2023) Movie Review.
Two genuinely awful movies had UK releases on Boxing Day 2023 and were very late additions to this viewer’s worst-of-the-year list. Let’s quickly cover off the less obvious entry. Michael Mann effectively shows the audience what House of Gucci would look like if it was presented more “respectively” in his long-gestating but deathly dull snapshot Into the life of Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) in a…

Wish. (Disney) Movie Review.
Even with the benefit of lowered expectations this thing is astonishingly bad
In a lot of ways, Disney’s 2023 creative and box office returns are an incredibly easy target. The House of Mouse has become so omnipresent in hoovering up various IP over the last 10 years that when cranks started to show large swaths of audiences would examine the fall in microscopic detail as well as perceiving that all of this is as a result of a perceived “wokeness.” In theory, it is not…

Anyone But You. Movie Review.
In the age of social media and more decentralized media consumption, it’s difficult to say that the Hollywood machine can in of itself break a new star or stars with 2/3 exceptions. Spielberg West Side Story breakout Rachel Zegler is in the process of her big follow-up project to that performance being released to mixed success. The other example concerns the Sydney Sweeney/Glenn Powell R-rated…

The Bizarro World James Bond Adjacent Reality Show You Didn't Watch. (FULL SPOILERS)
Note. The following piece will assume that viewers have seen No Time to Die (2022) as well as containing FULL SPOILERS for 007: Road To a Million The context of this show being the first B project released after that film is one of the most fascinating things about it. Seeing No Time to Die in IMAX for the first time was a very distinctive memory for this viewer. He can’t pinpoint exactly the…

Strays. Movie Review.
Oh boy. The full movie that was preceded by the worst trailer of the past several years has finally shuffled its way into the theatrical marketplace. Don’t get this viewer wrong. You have to go into everything with some level of open mind. That said it’s hard not to look at the red band trailer for Strays featuring Will Ferrell as a foul-mouthed talking dog in a distinctly adult comedy swearing,…

Barbie (2023) Movie Review
Note. This review contains spoilers for The Lego Movie (2014). In the writing of this review, this author assumed that there was enough crossover audience between the two films that the spoilers didn’t necessarily need to be flagged. Just in case this is not the case and you’re coming to this review without having seen the Lord and Miller magnum opus if one really cares about unmarked spoilers…

The Out-Laws. Movie Review
Sometimes one is looking are just looking for a bad Netflix movie to watch. This low-rated comedy starring Adam Devine and Nina Dobrev was top of the Netflix charts for its opening weekend and seemed like a good candidate. In it, Devine and Dobrev play an engaged couple with Divine having never met Dobrev’s parents. This turns out to be because they are seasoned bank robbers wanted by every…

Meg 2. The Trench. Movie Review.
Forgive this writer’s mild sense of optimism. He assumed the period of mainstream Hollywood getting into bed with Chinese state-sanctioned mega-blockbusters that led to productions like The Great Wall and Transformers: Age of Extention was long over. Chinese blockbusters can now count on small to moderate-size releases in the West. Add to this that in 2018 the original The Meg felt like a…
