Ralph Breaks the Internet is a very clever movie. In the same way that Wreck-It Ralph managed to lampoon and parody a host of famous video-games, while highlighting and spoofing the many tropes that many gamers will recognise, the sequel manages … Continue reading Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) Review
If you wanted the perfect blueprint for a kid’s sports movie, you’d look to Mighty Ducks. It has it all; a reluctant coach, comic-relief kids alongside others who are noble, full of heart and positive spirit. It also has the bullying … Continue reading Review 800! The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Most movie bloggers make a list of the films they want to see at this time of year but my list is slightly different. I don’t get to go to the cinema as frequently as I once did so I have … Continue reading My “Must-See at the Cinema” releases of 2019
