Don’t Look Up
Every end of the world movie I adore gives almost no detail as to what will end the world. These movies are more about watching the characters deal with their own existence in the face of a shared extinction. Don’t Look Up spends the entire film talking about the fact that the world is going […]

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
Ten years after the first Hotel Transylvania we have a fourth and (for now) final instalment. In terms of animated franchises, I have enjoyed this one. For children it’s an animated adventure with monsters, and for adults it’s a parody of the Universal Monster movies. I absolutely chuckle to the jokes that poke fun at […]

The Host (2006)
Monster movies don’t usually work for me because they are missing the human element, that’s not the case for this one.

First off, Benjamin has just completed his college education […]

Trainwreck
Initially, I was going to see Fantastic Four in theatres this week and then the reviews came out.. oh boy did it get trashed on. No Fantastic Four, no worries because I can now tell you that Trainwreck is easily my favourite comedy of the year so far and you should see it! The story […]

A Series of Unfortunate Events
The worst is knowing how close it was to something marvellous. This was actually one of my most highly anticipated movies before its release. Back then if I was really anticipating something, I would find as much stuff I could on it. Today I keep myself away from it, so I can totally be taken […]

Directed by Dan Gilroy Starring Jake Gyllenhaal – Louis Bloom Riz Ahmed – Rick Rene Russo – Nina Romina Bill Paxton – Joe Loder Louis Bloom is a go getter with the intelligence and perseverance that will ensure his success and if at first he doesn’t succeed he will overstep the ethical means to get […]
