La La Land (2016) Review

A musical directed by the man behind Whiplash starring two of the most charming actors in Hollywood (and thankfully no Miles Teller)? Sign me up!

100 Words or Less – Black Knight (2001) Review

A forgotten oddity from the early 2000’s, Martin Lawrence mugs his way through ‘Black Knight’.

100 Words or Less – Bastille Day (The Take) (2016)

Bastille Day (or The Take) sees Idris Elba play against type as a tough as nails, gruff CIA agent. Ok so it’s not super original but it’s still very entertaining.

Ranking The Star Wars Films: Worst to Best (Updated)

WARNING – MAJOR SPOILERS!

Dracula Untold (2014) Review

2014’s Dracula Untold was a small commercial success but a resounding critical failure. Now it’s been dropped from Universal’s upcoming shared monster movie universe too. But how bad is it, really?

Skiptrace (2016) Review

“I never would have figured you for an Adele fan.” As the much awaited Rush Hour 4 hasn’t materialised yet and the third of the Shanghai trilogy, Shanghai Dawn, has just been announced for what feels like the millionth time (I’ll believe it when I see it) the well of once prevalent Jackie Chan buddy action comedies has dried up. Until now that […]
