"This isn't going to have a happy ending"
Too right, Morgan! Probably some of grimmest foreshading in cinematic history right there!
I have watched David Fincher's Seven many many times over the years. The first time when I was far too young! It disturbed me, to say the least. To this day, the spelling of the title still disturbs me even more! Se7en... it doesn't make any sense! It's 7ery 7exing. I could carry on the rest of my Se7en…
"They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason, above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you… my only son." - Jor-El
Ahead of seeing Super/man: The Christopher Reeve Story, I couldn't resist re-watching this original superhero classic for the millionth time!
Superman: The Movie is such a charming film and remains one of my all time favourites! As a kid, the film…
I love Bong Joon Ho! So, I'll admit that I may have gone into Mickey 17 with unrealistic expectations based on my admiration for his previous films. Parasite is undeniably a masterpiece that has recently made the auteur director a more recognisable name worldwide. However, Bong Joon Ho also happens to have a near flawless filmography of outrageous, complex and completely brilliant films stretching back to 2004's Memories Of Murder. All of Bong Joon Ho's previous work demonstrates his versatile…
Grosse Point Blank is a quirky little genre-hopper that never fails to hit the spot! The story is fun, exciting and lightning paced with genuine heart at it's core. The premise is fairly simple but the complex web of characters are skillfully weaved together with an amazing cast that keeps the film fully engaging throughout!
For a screenplay that is credited with four writers, including John Cusack, it is surprisingly tight with constant fast paced dialogue and humour. It is…
Captain America: A Brave New Episode of The Falcon and Winter Soldier...
I tried to go into this fairly neutral but it's directed by Julius Onah, the same guy that directed The Cloverfield Paradox...
Captain America Brave New World is Onah's second film since that absolute nonsense so it was difficult to ignore my reservations! That said, I wasn't expecting to be blown away by the film, no matter who sat in the director's chair. I had hoped it would,…
Monkey Man is Dev Patel's directorial debut and while it's certainly a flawed feature, it's also impressively ambitious. Patel clearly pours a lot of passion into the film, there are makings of a four star film in there somewhere but a bit of fine tuning of the overall narrative is needed to get it there. Patel goes for a clever contemporary retelling of a story within Indian lore, based on Hanuman with an admirable attempt at timely social and political…
