Glass (2019) Review

January 28, 2019January 27, 2019 Ben

M Night Shyamalan had set himself a difficult task with Glass. Unbreakable was a great movie that people wanted a sequel to, so he linked the seemingly stand-alone (and equally as brilliant) Split to the same “universe.” This meant that audiences … Continue reading Glass (2019) Review

Signs (2002) Review

December 29, 2017December 28, 2017 Ben

M Night Shyamalan has a talent for bringing a different type of performance from well-known, sometimes arguably type-cast stars. The Sixth Sense gave a different side to Bruce Willis while Unbreakable reminded people that Samuel L Jackson could actually act. In … Continue reading Signs (2002) Review

Unbreakable (2000) Review

December 26, 2017December 23, 2017 Ben

There is a solid argument for Unbreakable being the best superhero origin movie. It manages to create a believable superhero in the “real world” without falling prey to any of the usual, paint-by-numbers clichés that plague even the masters like Marvel. … Continue reading Unbreakable (2000) Review

Split (2016) Review

December 25, 2017December 23, 2017 Ben

Split is a movie you don’t see coming. It is a high concept film which if handled badly could have been camp and trashy. Here it is handled with seriousness and the movie plays out as a tense horror and one … Continue reading Split (2016) Review

Twist Week: The Sixth Sense (1999) Review

November 29, 2016November 28, 2016 Ben

If you remove the twist in The Sixth Sense, the movie still offers plenty to surprise you. For starters, this is one of the most under-stated performances by Bruce Willis. He plays a child psychologist, helping a small boy who has … Continue reading Twist Week: The Sixth Sense (1999) Review
