I saw The Lion King today and I found it to be so bland, boring and lacklustre that it isn’t even worth a full review. Instead though, I am going to talk about my experience seeing it in 4DX. 4DX, for those of you not in the know […]
Echoes of the Passed is a short film written by Tony Sands. The film concerns a mysterious professor, his assistant and two pea brained AV techs while they try to spend the night in a supposedly haunted house. At only 20 mins long including credits, Echoes of the […]
Avengers: Endgame has been out for some months now and as late as it is I have thoughts on the film as both a standalone and as a conclusion to the MCU as we know it. Presumably everybody has seen it by now, but for posterity sake I […]

Dark Phoenix aka X-Men The Last Stand 2 is the final entry to the wildly varying X-Men franchise, provided that the abysmal looking New Mutants film never sees the light of day. The film takes place in the 1990s and sees the events of the Dark Phoenix saga […]
Terror in the Skies is an independent documentary from the renowned indie production company Small Town Monsters. The documentary takes a look at flying or winged phenomena within the illinois area, with the subjects ranging from the famed Thunderbird to the more dubious “Chicago Mothman”. The Small Town […]
House of Sweat and Tears is the directorial debut of Sonia Escolano. The film follows the exploits of a cult trying to attain enlightenment through pain. The film isn’t as gory or shock inducing as one with such source material could be, but that works to the film’s […]
Hellboy 2019 was released earlier this month. This film is a reboot of the 2004 film of the same name, and has been a point of contention for those who love the original. Reboots are a temperamental thing. Most reboots are either terrible (Ghostbusters 2016) or surpass their […]
Cobra Kai emerged last year as a dark horse in the tv world. Nobody could have expected a Karate Kid sequel series 30 years on could be anything for a nostalgia fuelled heartless cash grab. When it was released however it turned out to be a phenomenal show. […]

Ricky Gervais’ new Netflix series After Life came out last week. Written, directed by and starring Gervais, the 6 episode mini series sees middle-aged Tony trying to cope with the loss of his wife to cancer. This series is deeply conflicting to me, and I can’t fully decide […]

Well, Glass shattered my expectations. After 2016’s sleeper hit Split turned out to be a stealth sequel to 2000’s Unbreakable, all eyes were on M.Night Shyamalan to see if he could knock the third instalment in his “Eastrail 177” trilogy out of the park. Personally I think he […]
Bumblebee is the 6th film in the extremely hit or miss Transformers series. I say hit or miss but so far the only true hit is Bumblebee. I absolutely loved this film, and this may be the first step towards a brighter future for the Transformers series. Starring […]
