Robin Hood (2018) Review

November 18, 2020 Ben

Robin Hood is in need of a big screen reboot. When people think of the movie version of the English legend, they either think back to a swashbuckling Errol Flynn or Kevin Costner playing the role far too seriously. This … Continue reading Robin Hood (2018) Review

Child’s Play (2019) Review

November 2, 2019 Ben

Child’s Play was a franchise in need of a reboot. The franchise had become a straight-to-home release staple and had completely lost its way compared to the fantastic original. From the opening sequence involving a disgruntled worker in the Buddi … Continue reading Child’s Play (2019) Review

Trailer of the Week: The Predator

September 2, 2018September 2, 2018 Ben

Predator is one of the 80s greatest action movies. Unfortunately, the sequels have mostly disappointed, never capturing the great writing, tense action and hunter/hunted feeling of the jungle set original.

Video-Game Movies Month: Tomb Raider (2018) Review

April 10, 2018April 8, 2018 Ben

When they re-launched, rebooted and rebranded Lara Croft as a younger, inexperienced and grittier character, they also opened the door for a more cinematic Tomb Raider. This meant that just watching the trailer for the video-game was enough to make you … Continue reading Video-Game Movies Month: Tomb Raider (2018) Review

Power Rangers (2017) Review

December 31, 2017December 29, 2017 Ben

Power Rangers as never going to really work. The original is a colourful, camp, silly show with super-annoying teenagers who all get on, have incredible hair and teeth and use massive robots to fight dodgy looking monsters. It is a product … Continue reading Power Rangers (2017) Review

Is “A Female version of…” lazy film-making?

September 2, 2017September 1, 2017 Ben

This week saw the announcement of a Lord of the Flies remake with an all-female cast. Alongside the usual more sexist remarks about why this is a poor idea, it seems something else was missing from the conversation – it just … Continue reading Is “A Female version of…” lazy film-making?
