RANKED: June Releases of 2019 (Recap)
The calendar year's resident blockbuster month didn't do much to... well... bust the block, if I'm being honest. With a couple of living, breathing toys and Earthly black suited protectors fighting intergalactic forces, I'd say we got, if anything, a rather conceptually repetitive month. But hey for all the awfulness of the X-Men's last stand, … Continue reading RANKED: June Releases of 2019 (Recap)
REVIEW: Yesterday
Imagine there's no Beatles. After a mysterious and magical occurrence, a struggling musician named Jack Malik, awakens in a reality where he appears to be the only soul on Earth to remember The Beatles, alongside other various forgotten pop culture items.

REVIEW: Toy Story 4 (Spoiler Free)
This isn't falling - this IS flying, with style.

REVIEW: Child’s Play (Spoiler Free)
Chucky would 100% make Woody reach for the sky. The 13-year-old Andy, along with his family and friends, are terrorised by a high-tech doll that becomes self-aware after it rejects its programming. Another year, another horror reboot. Bringing back the cheesy 80s slasher gorefest, 2019's Child's Play operated exactly as you would expect: a perfectly fine … Continue reading REVIEW: Child’s Play (Spoiler Free)
RANKED: The Filmography of Pixar
With the release of Toy Story 4, I thought it would be fun to look back at the filmography of Pixar Animation Studios and roughly rank the films before they hit the BIG 21. Its difficult to look at these through a completely objective lens, so I will first and foremost admit that most of these … Continue reading RANKED: The Filmography of Pixar
REVIEW: Men In Black: International (Spoiler Free)
Hey Hollywood, couldn't you just have thrown some money at Marvel to make a Secret Invasion adaptation starring Thor and Valkyrie? Its basically the same thing. Tasked to serve and protect the Earth from within the shadows, the Men in Black face the shape-shifting intergalactic force, the Hive, leading Agents H and M on a … Continue reading REVIEW: Men In Black: International (Spoiler Free)
REVIEW: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (Spoiler Free)
To quote Wolverine, what an egg sucking piece of gutter trash. An outer space rescue mission goes awry for the X-Men when telekinetic mutant, Jean Grey, absorbs a deadly solar flare giving her immense strength but also unbottled and unstable rage. Oh, the X-Men… what do I say about the X-Men? Since the birth of … Continue reading REVIEW: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (Spoiler Free)
RANKED: May Releases of 2019 (Recap)
Best way to summarise the movies of May 2019... hmm... I wonder... oh, here we go. So imagine John Wick was given a hit list to assassinate Elton John, Godzilla, the Brightburn kid, Pikachu and Aladdin (ESCPECIALLY Aladdin), I would say, in the course of a month, he was successful in four out of five … Continue reading RANKED: May Releases of 2019 (Recap)
REVIEW: Rocketman
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, if I put down in words... how wonderful life is when you're in cinemas. Held up at a stint in rehab, the notorious Elton John recounts the fantastical and troubling events that led him to his place on top of the world. In a post-Bohemian Rhapsody cinema … Continue reading REVIEW: Rocketman
