A review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, where Rocket’s origin turns out to be the whole trilogy’s spine and the High Evolutionary earns his place as a villain.
A review of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, where the Council of Kangs steals the film and the villain meant to carry the next decade doesn’t convince.
I hope you’ve seen Aliens … it’s one of the classic military sci-fi films out there, and it completely turns the horror movie-themed Alien onto its head. With tons of…
I know I’m very late to the party with this review of Ghostbusters Afterlife, but after watching it recently, I really thought it deserved mention on the site. Afterlife helps…
A review of Wakanda Forever, where not recasting T’Challa was the right call, Namor is a genuinely good villain, and the ending lets him off far too easily.
A review of Thor: Love and Thunder, where Gorr deserved a better film, Zeus is a punchline, and the ending hands out godhood like party favours.
A review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where the Illuminati are wasted, Wanda’s ending is another love-conquers-all cop-out, and Mordo is still missing.
Dune Part One review. Arrakis finally feels real, Paul, Jessica and Leto are spot on, and my family came along without quite getting it. I loved it.

I just watched Upgrade on Netflix and overall its a really fun and enjoyable movie that brought back some nostalgia from the late 90s for me. Some of you might…
The one positive about this whole pandemic thing is the extra time it’s given me to spend on catching up on Television and Movies. There is so much out there…
OK, I’ll start this post with a confession. I’d probably not have watched this movie if it wasn’t for the current crisis we’re all probably experiencing in one form or…
My The Rise of Skywalker review: the story didn’t make sense and it wasn’t a good way to end the saga. I’d have preferred almost anything else. 2 out of 5.
If you bring back actor Linda Hamilton, insert the super hot director of Deadpool, Tim Miller, and even entice original-creator and mega-producer James Cameron to create your new Terminator movie and…
My Spider-Man Far From Home review: Tom Holland grieving Tony Stark, Zendaya’s brilliant MJ, and Mysterio’s con on a European class trip.
