Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review

January 27, 2020 Ben

Considering this is the movie to end a nine film franchise that spans over 42 years, it lacks a lot of the key planning which could have made it the rightful end to the Star Wars and Skywalker story. Being … Continue reading Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review

Child’s Play 3 (1991) Review

October 23, 2019 Ben

A trilogy, of any franchise, is a good place to start branching out. The characters are familiar, the central idea of the franchise is established and it means that audiences should be more appreciative of a change or twist which will … Continue reading Child’s Play 3 (1991) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky III (1982) Review

April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 Ben

Rocky III is the quintessential Rocky movie. It is the Rocky movie that takes everything that worked in the previous two movies, all the moments that everyone loves about Rocky, and builds them-up to their biggest and boldest. It has … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky III (1982) Review

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

My “Must-See at the Cinema” releases of 2019

January 8, 2019January 8, 2019 Ben

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

Pixar Month: Cars 3 (2017) Review

September 26, 2018September 25, 2018 Ben

There was a sense after Cars 2 that the Cars franchise should be put to rest. Money will always win out though and Cars was given a third outing and another attempt to repeat what wasn’t particularly a grand opening … Continue reading Pixar Month: Cars 3 (2017) Review

Pixar Month: Toy Story 3 (2010) Review

September 19, 2018September 18, 2018 Ben

You could argue that Pixar got lucky with Toy Story 2. They managed to make a film as good as an iconic original without changing too much of what made the movie work so well. It would be easy to think … Continue reading Pixar Month: Toy Story 3 (2010) Review

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Review

September 4, 2018September 2, 2018 Ben

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is arguably the ultimate Indiana Jones movie. There is an ancient, religious relic to chase, an adventure that takes the hero cross-country, Nazis to fight and a temples to raid complete with booby-traps and puzzles … Continue reading Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Review

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984) Review

September 3, 2018September 2, 2018 Ben

There is a clue in the title of the sequel (prequel) to Raiders of the Lost Ark: Temple of Doom is silly. There was something perfectly supernatural about Raiders of the Lost Ark that is lacking from Temple of Doom. The … Continue reading Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984) Review

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007) Review

January 1, 2018January 1, 2018 Ben

By the end of Dead Man’s Chest, there were at least six principle characters, each with different agendas and motivations, all butting heads with each other. What Dead Man’s Chest had done was to create a complex multi-faceted story which was … Continue reading Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007) Review
