THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 2, REVIEW

For all you Hunger Games fans out there, this movie is bittersweet.  With much anticipation and sorrow at knowing that your franchise is coming to its end.  And for the uninitiated, don’t bother seeing this movie.

Part 2 definitely requires you to see Part 1, if you were to go into it cold, you would be absolutely lost and have no chance whatsoever figuring out why JLaw is wearing a wig and can’t speak properly.  So, let’s get that out of the way first and foremost.  She’s wearing a wig, gasp, shock, horror… done.  Let’s move on.

This movie assumes Continue reading “THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 2, REVIEW”

THE MARTIAN: Boring

Matt Damon has returned in a big way with The Martian.  He’s taken what was given to him and he ran with it.  Well, kinda.

This is a movie of survival, American ingenuity and the never say die spirit that makes Americans the best people in the world.  Eye roll.

It’s a spectacle, that’s for sure.  But at the end of the day, it’s actually quite a dull movie.  Continue reading “THE MARTIAN: Boring”

CON MAN: EP01 TO EP04

I love the idea of Con Man, as you can clearly tell from my excitement from the previous article.  Vimeo released it on October 30th, and it’s now there for all to rent.

Con Man: when you have to number two, it's nice to have a chat?

MR HOLMES: YES PLEASE

Sherlock Holmes has received a resurgence in popularity in the last five years.  We’ve had movies, television series, he’s brought into the modern age and we’ve even had a female Watson.  As audiences, we’ve lapped up the greatest detective of all time, enjoying the annoying charming charmless know-it-all in any form we can get him.

EX-MACHINA: SCARILY REALISTIC

Ex-Machinna tackles the same old artificial intelligence conundrum which we’ve grown accustomed to in a unique and interesting way.

The premise of this movie is simple enough, a billionaire recluse (Nathan) has built a female android (Ava).  Continue reading “EX-MACHINA: SCARILY REALISTIC”

CATASTROPHE EP01: FUNNY AND CHARMING

There’s something about British comedies, they’re charming, sarcastic, witty and more often than not, politically incorrect and completely on the money and hilarious. The only downside is that they’re always too short, and the seasons leave you wanting more.  Catastrophe definitely falls into this category.

Catastrophe is about a one night stand in London that turns into a Continue reading “CATASTROPHE EP01: FUNNY AND CHARMING”
