Mild, mild spoilers ahead…. I was scared they’d somehow screw up the sequel to the “reboot” they did, but I was greatly surprise at the new elements they added: the grandpa’s subplot and the way it was executed and their contribution to the jumanji gaming experience (they were both hilarious); and all the new additions felt exactly how a sequel to a 90s sequel game … Continue reading Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
I’ll start this off with a warning. If you’re a mainstream horror fan, you will not like this. It is not The Conjuring, it does not have jump scares, it is a slow movie. It’s not scary in the way that most horror films are scary. It doesn’t frighten you. It felt traumatic. This is an artsy movie for sure. If you don’t like that, … Continue reading Midsommar (2019)
A good action movie is like a classic meat-and-potatoes meal; standard fare that although might be seasoned differently is both filling and unsurprising. Occasionally a genre-breaking film will surprise everyone and pop open a bottle of Malbec to serve with a little filet mignon. Usually?

Over the course of the film and its sequel; Banning kept the President safe against a never-ending barrage of threats both home and abroad. For the new film “Angel Has Fallen”; Banning must protect a new President (Morgan Freeman) and clear his name when … Continue reading Angel Has Fallen (2019)
I’ve always found Eli Roth’s films to be mixed bags. GREEN INFERNO is by far his best picture, but as in most of his other films his limitations as a dialogue writer are foregrounded too often, albeit thankfully to nowhere near the extent they were in the RZA’s execrable vanity project MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS. His character development skills, however, show unexpected signs of … Continue reading The Green Inferno (2013)
When I started to watch this animation, I didn’t have that much high hope. I thought it was just another nonsense story and the animation would be just fine because it wasn’t from Disney, DreamWorks or such American big animation companies. But within five minutes, I realised that I was wrong. This animation is a remake version of the famous Cinderella story. But it’s really … Continue reading Cinderella and the Secret Prince (2018)
