Denial (2016) Review

November 5, 2020 Ben

Trolls (2016) Review

October 7, 2020 Ben

Every “kids movie” has to navigate that fine balance between being entertaining enough for kids to be engrossed for 90 minutes but not be too corny and super sweet that parents can’t enjoy it too. Pixar knows how to do … Continue reading Trolls (2016) Review

Your Name (2016) Review

November 27, 2019 Ben

The body-swap plot has been done to death to varying degrees of success. A teenage boy and a teenage girl, from two very different locations and backgrounds, is a slightly different take on the idea and does manage to offer something … Continue reading Your Name (2016) Review

There is something beautiful and bold about The Red Turtle which means the moment it begins you are sucked-into this world of a castaway. The animation is glorious, with pure and simple technique which does just enough to bring the … Continue reading The Red Turtle (2016) Review

Review Bonanza: Moana (2016) Review

January 2, 2019January 1, 2019 Ben

The fact that Disney can stay relevant and fresh with something as tired and out-dated as a “princess” is testament to their unique story-telling. Moana is not your typical, long flowing dress and damsel-in-distress type princess. Moana is a tough, … Continue reading Review Bonanza: Moana (2016) Review

It would be very easy to roll your eyes and see The Angry Birds movie as a cheap cash-in on the success of the game. It wouldn’t be the first video-game movie to try this and usually they fail spectacularly, especially … Continue reading Review Bonanza: The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

Documentary Month: My Scientology Movie (2015) Review

November 6, 2018November 6, 2018 Ben

You can’t help but feel a little cheated by Louis Theroux’s My Scientology Movie. The American religion is so secretive and shrouded in mystery that any chance to get close to the truth about what happens at this organisation should be … Continue reading Documentary Month: My Scientology Movie (2015) Review
