When you hear that Netflix is releasing a documentary involving comedians, actors, chefs, musicians, and others, all sharing their psychedelic drug trip stories, what do you imagine? Whacky animations? Bizarrely retro skits? Nick Offerman dressed…

It’s very easy to lose yourself in a great movie. This is even truer when movies join together to form a movie universe: a movieverse. Regardless of your opinion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU),…

Galaxy Quest represents a relic from a by-gone era: one where spoofs and parodies were produced far more frequently. Gone are the days where we could see Charlie Sheen or Leslie Nielsen appearing in a…

I’ve always been a fan of action-thrillers that involve corrupt cops. From Filth and Lakeview Terrace to Training Day and The Departed. The trailer for Point Blank suggests that it will follow the budding bromance…

Netflix has been churning out documentary after documentary, and Life Overtakes Me is the latest. With a relatively short runtime of just 40 minutes, it follows several refugee families living in Sweden. Each of these…

After 30 years, what makes Batman (1989) truly unique within the franchise? Despite the movie’s title, this isn’t a Batman movie. A pretty bold claim, I know. I’ll admit that it had been about a…

Hakuna Matata: words that have stuck with us for the past 25 years. The phrase may translate as literally meaning “no problem”, but most of us just remember it as being the catchphrase of Timon…

I’ve always described Moon as being a bit of a hidden gem. There’s a sweet simplicity to it, and as far as sci-fi movies go it’s relatively down to Earth (which somewhat contradicts the movie’s…

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Knowing first appeared on the big screen. If you asked 15-year-old me what he thinks of this flick, he’d tell you that it’s an excellent…

Do you see what happens when the imagination is super-imposed upon the historical event? It becomes a story… – N. Scott Momaday You should never judge a book by its cover. These are words we’re…

Filth was released way back in 2013 but after completing my article on the top 10 James McAvoy performances, I decided to re-watch it. If you’ve read any of my posts before, you’ll know I…

Let’s look back to the year 2000, the release year of Unbreakable. Who could foresee that the movie would lead to not only a sequel, but an extended universe? Back then, the superhero genre was…

The first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! The second rule of flight club is: you do NOT talk about fight club! I can only apologize to the infamous…

Slenderman is perhaps better known as a terror-inducing game that starts the player off in the woods with a torch and only one objective: finding 8 pieces of paper. The catch? These 8 drawings (presumably…

Star Wars: Once such a solid franchise appears to be on the ropes a little these days. The opinions from the fan base fluctuate drastically from one movie to the next. The Force Awakens, Rogue…

I’m sure I’ve not been alone in thinking that Hollywood really needs to focus on a great villain-oriented movie. I’ve said it about Voldemort before and I’ve discussed why Suicide Squad doesn’t count. But now,…

OK, so I’m slightly exaggerating…but let me start this article off by stating that I am a Marvel fanboy. Now that that is out the way, here comes my criticism. I’m sure I’m not surprising…

For those of you perhaps oblivious to what The Purge movies are about, allow me to give you a quick summary. In 2014, after an economic collapse, the “new founding fathers” introduced an idea that…

You may know Holes (2003) as the simple tale of Stanley Yelnats III and his run of bad luck that puts him in Camp Green Lake. In truth, Holes covers a wide range of topics…

There’s no denying that Harry Potter was an incredibly successful franchise. With many of us growing up either reading the books or watching the films (or both) I’m sure there will always be a place…

Once upon a time, sequels were something you would look forward to. A film ending on a cliffhanger could mean only one thing: a follow-up movie! Perhaps you’d even count down the days until its…

There are many actors in the world who play incredible roles and yet are often forgotten about when it comes to listing the greats. From fighting the Sith as a Jedi Master to staring at…

There are many amazing war movies: whether it’s medieval sword fights, brutal action from WW2 or futuristic laser fights in space. One which always seems to find its way to the list is Braveheart. There…

A story about Egyptian mythology, crazy special effects, stars such as Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Chadwick Boseman and Geoffrey Rush…what’s not to love? Well, according to critics and moviegoers alike, everything! Gods of Egypt was…

Cameos have become a popular aspect of the modern day movie, typically taking place in comedies. These cameo appearances allow audiences to feel shocked when they see their movie hero or music icon appear as…

When it comes to movies, it’s fair to say that plenty of them just don’t quite live up to expectations — that’s not to say that the entire film misses the mark. Every now and…

We may only be in the first quarter of 2018 but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about 2019. With big films such as Avengers 4 and Star Wars: Episode IX hogging all the…

When someone mentions the term “thought-provoking” in relation to films, you probably have something in mind. Perhaps a high-budget, star-studded cast, famous directors,or even Hans Zimmer as the architect of the soundtrack. Not to mention crazy special…

With Infinity War on the horizon, it’s natural for fans to wonder just how much of a threat Thanos is going to be. It’s all well and good to assume he’ll be the most difficult…

When it comes to film adaptations, we usually think of those adapted from books. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Maze Runner  are all popular film adaptations. What about those that kick-started their fan base off in the gaming…
