Watching Attack of the Clones is almost impossible. The whole film feels like an experiment to see just how boring they could make it and still make money because it's called Star Wars. Everything from dialogue, to delivery, to boring practical sets and even worse CGI backdrops just blends together to make one of the... Continue Reading →
Tremors is a good film for one very simple reason; it is the perfect template to base any creature feature on. If you take the structure of Tremors, swap around characters, locations and monsters, you'd have an eerily similar but nonetheless good creature feature. Perhaps because of this, however, it has dated a tad. A... Continue Reading →
Though a little late to the party, the original Clash of the Titans is one of those, among Jason and the Argonauts and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, that I've heard been called 'a classic' due to it's adventurous story, famous cast and special effects work. I haven't seen the latter two films, both of... Continue Reading →
This normally isn't the type of film that would interest me, but my surprise enticement with the Crown on Netflix urged me to give this film a go too. It follows Princess Diana on the Christmas weekend she decided to end things between herself and her husband, Prince Charles. The best part about this film... Continue Reading →
Halloween isn't over. It's frightful that I must start this epilogue to my review series with a reminder that we're still due a 2022 film called Halloween Ends, which will wrap-up the reboot of the franchise that started with the 2018 film. Rest assured, I'll be back to review that movie when the time comes,... Continue Reading →
I'm going to come out and say it right off the bat; Halloween Kills was a big disappointment. After Halloween 2018 gave a solid, if quite derivative, attempt to return the franchise to form by honouring the best of the originals, Halloween Kills undoes that by repeating the mistakes of the original series' worst movies;...

Halloween, not to be confused with Halloween or Halloween, is a sequel to Halloween, but not to Halloween. Neither is it a sequel to Halloween 2 or to Halloween 2. Easy to understand, right? Okay, but seriously, Halloween 2018 does away with all of the sequels before it and instead concerns itself with being a... Continue Reading →
The Lighthouse is a film I was drawn to specifically because Willem Dafoe was in it. I'm not even a huge follower of his work; I know him from Spiderman, Aquaman, Death Note and Mr Bean's Holiday, which are (with the exception of Spiderman) probably some of his lesser roles considering how much he's done....

Unconventional is an understatement. For a franchise that seemed to have been retreading old ground over and over again with it's earlier sequels, you do have to admire just how bizarre and weird Rob Zombie was able to make this film with his new ideas on how the Halloween story should end, regardless of if...
