BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DARK AND DECENT

The DC world’s cross over has been a long time coming.  We have wondered for the longest time whether DC will catch up to Marvel with its constant hero crossovers and combined movies.  The internet went crazy with hate when it was announced that Affleck would be donning The Bat cape.  And I will admit it, I was one of them.  Affleck can’t do the hero run, he runs like… Continue reading “BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DARK AND DECENT”

FULLER HOUSE: FINDING ITS FEET

Binge watching has a lot to answer for.  Instead of watching just one nostalgic bad episode of this show, I ate through 12 before I knew what had happened.  That’s right, 12 episodes.  I would never have tuned in to a second episode, let along another 11.

This show is lame, really really Continue reading “FULLER HOUSE: FINDING ITS FEET”

GODS OF EGYPT: WHY?

Gods of Egypt is an impressive movie made by university students.  The graphics are decent, but can be improved upon.  With further plot iterations, reshoots, improved dialogue and some acting classes, this movie will be able to receive a B on presentation night.

Oh wait… Continue reading “GODS OF EGYPT: WHY?”

Deadpool: his and her review

Deadpool… need we say more?  If you don’t know that this movie has been released, you either are completely cut off from society; or you are just better than the rest of us and don’t fall for commercialism. Either way, time to get out and smell the fun.

Let’s get the review on, Continue reading “Deadpool: his and her review”

SHADOW HUNTERS – THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS (so crap)

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy… executives must have been sitting around their boardroom, thinking about how Netflix made a really shitty movie (DareDevil) into a pretty well received TV series.  And thought to themselves, as they got drunk, “Yo man, what other shitty movie based on a series of novels, can we turn into a series?”  And someone came up with The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Continue reading “SHADOW HUNTERS – THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS (so crap)”

JOHN WICK: MUST SEE

The ominous crime boss calls an associate/minion who has slapped his only son, asking for an explanation as to why he was shown such disrespect.  The answer, from the sombre associate: “He stole John Wick’s car… and he killed his dog.”  At which point, the Russian crime boss understands why the slap was a just move, and why he was willing to sacrifice their relationship.

John Wick is a movie about a former hitman, whose car has been stolen and his puppy killed.  Continue reading “JOHN WICK: MUST SEE”

STAR WARS VI, V & VI: NOT EVERYONE’S A FAN

I am one of the few thirty-somethings out there who had not had the pleasure of watching the original Star Wars series, until very recently.  And let’s just say, I am unforgiving of George Lucas.

Gasp, shock, horror… how dare I?!  It was something that stunned my partner as well, he was absolutely shocked that I, the ultimate non-selective movie watcher that he knows, would actually criticise and hate such a Continue reading “STAR WARS VI, V & VI: NOT EVERYONE’S A FAN”

JESSICA JONES: SADLY UNLIKEABLE

My general goodwill towards Marvel is now dead, and I will no longer blindly watch and accept everything that they throw out for us.  I will evaluate each instalment on its own merit and appeal.  It has taken a long time for me to take off the rose tinted glasses.  No matter how much I had loathed the Spiderman movies, my love for The X-Men tainted my views on how Marvel can do no wrong.

Jessica being all menacing and finally in control… or is she?

Thankfully, I had managed to jump off the merry-go-round with Continue reading “JESSICA JONES: SADLY UNLIKEABLE”
