4/10 It was long wait. But was it worth it? Avatar 3 was not what I was expecting. For a start, they have recast the entire film! Pandora was the only remaniing location, though for some reason, they kept on calling it Atlantis. And where did Aquaman come from! Well, after a time, realised that… Continue reading AQUAMAN: THE LOST KINGDOM (2023) – REVIEW

MIRROR MIRROR (2012) – Review
2012 DIRECTOR: Tarzem Singh 70/100 I finally got around to watching this 2012 Snow White adaptation after 8 years an was pleasantly surprised. I missed it at the time, put off by what appeared to be a kids movie, favouring the mediocre Snow White and the Huntsman, in the Cinema instead. I misjudged both films… Continue reading MIRROR MIRROR (2012) – Review

2014, 2017, 2019 DIRECTORS: Gareth Edward's, Jordan Vogt-Roberts & Michael Dougherty My ratings of the Monster-Verse so far... Beginning with Godzilla in 2014, the 1998 debacle has been consigned to history, finally a decent westernized version of the Toho classic, Gojira was finally realised.

STAR WARS: PREQUELS Vs SEQUELS…
After watching this video from the rather dubious movie rating site Rotten Tomatoes, a site who's impartiality has been called in to question in recent years, I felt the need to compose a short response... https://youtu.be/FzNZS7-Hsdc "It's a tough one. Whilst would I concur with his choices generally, I also agree that the Prequel's crowd… Continue reading STAR WARS: PREQUELS Vs SEQUELS…
SERENITY (2019) – QUICK REVIEW
2019 DIRECTOR: Steven Knight 50/100 This! From the man who brought us British television hit Peaky Blinders! This! A mediocre film noir which is almost saved by a bizzare yet intriguing left turn twist half way through, which up until this point, was an unremarkable chiche-fest about fish... The fact that the twist kind if… Continue reading SERENITY (2019) – QUICK REVIEW
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (2018) (REVIEW)
