Review: Alien Covenant
And so the struggle begins! How do I remain objective when I’m reviewing a movie from my favourite film franchise? How do I stop myself from devolving into total ‘fan-boy’ territory – either gushing praise over or screaming bile about, a movie that is a direct prequel to a film (the 1979 original) that I […]
X-Men: Apocalypse Review
SPOILERS AHEAD!!! “You are no longer students, forget everything your teacher or your mom and dad ever taught you, from now on; you are X-men!” Inspiring words said by Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique; but a pity they come too late in the film to give you any hope for the end credit scene. I’ve been staring at […]

The movie follows the trials and tribulations of […]

It’s been quite a while since the first one was released and since the premiere date is fast approaching, I was itching for something new to tide me over until then. Thankfully, we’ve […]

Preview: Days of Future Past
Surely this is a golden age for fans of big heroes on the big screen. Only recently has the SFX technology and budget for superhero films caught up with the larger-than-life storytelling, curtailed only by the writers imagination and the artists skill. Rewind only a few years and the hardcore Marvel fan could force themselves […]
