Their Finest (2016)

Posted 1:09pm Sunday 7th May 2017 by Samuel Rillstone

Rating: 3.5/5 To call Their Finest a British comedy, as many reviews have, is difficult, as it doesn’t provide the classic, almost slapstick, comedy that one associates with British comedy. But there is still that hint of sentimentality whenever the British signature shines through. The Read more...

Marvel’s Iron Fist (2017)

Posted 12:36pm Sunday 30th April 2017 by Brandon Johnstone

Rating: 2/5 I really, really wanted to love Iron Fist. I count myself as a huge fan of the comic book character, almost entirely due to the Fraction/Brubaker run on Immortal Iron Fist a decade ago. Frustrated by the tempest of controversy leading up to its release (largely due to fears of Read more...

Power Rangers (2017)

Posted 12:31pm Sunday 30th April 2017 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Rating: 3.5/5 Man. Where do I begin? Maybe I’ll quickly outline the three reactions I had to this film, in chronological order. The first third I didn’t like because it was so different to the TV show, the second third I liked because it differed so much that it was almost comically Read more...

Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Posted 12:27pm Sunday 30th April 2017 by Florence Dean

Rating: 5/5 I prefer to go into a movie with zero expectations. I avoid reviews like I avoid responsibilities. No hype, no let down, ya feel? This time was different. This time I got in on the hype. This time I was the hype. When I found out there was going to be a Beauty and the Beast live Read more...

Mass Effect: Andromeda

Posted 2:20pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Brandon Johnstone

Canada-based developer BioWare has leapt from strength to strength over the last couple of decades, building the beloved franchises Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Age and Mass Effect around teams of likeable, fleshed-out characters. In the process, BioWare has earned an uncommonly dedicated, diverse Read more...

The F8 of the Furious (eight)

Posted 1:44pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Critic

Rating: 1 crashed car Reviewer: Michelle Rodriguez I left work and went to my car, only to find a man standing by it. He was old, like 70 years old. He had his back to me, and he was wearing a skirt that was so short I could see his entire bum.  “What are you doing?” I Read more...

The Fate of the Furiosa (2077)

Posted 1:42pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Critic

Rating: ???/5 Reviewer: Dog I went into this movie as a longstanding fan of the franchise. I knew beforehand it was going to be a departure from the tone and structure of the previous films and was pretty excited to see where this would take the series. Nowhere good, it turns out. This Read more...

The Faith of the Furious (timeless)

Posted 1:38pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Critic

Rating: 5/5 Reviewer: Vin Dali The Fate of the Furious is a surrealist masterpiece. Auteur F. Gary Gray subtly plays on the inherent absurdity of reality, presenting us with characters and scenes completely removed from our conception of the ‘real world’. Instead the characters Read more...

The Fate of the Furios Twenty Seventeen (2017)

Posted 1:33pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Critic

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 Reviewer: Trash Morash The trailer for another yet another Fast & Furious movie came as a surprise to me. Why another Fast & Furious movie, where the only trademark is an increasingly stupid title? The answer can be found by delving into the numbers behind Read more...

Fast & Furious 8 (2017)

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Critic

Rating: 1.5/5 Reviewer: Dick Swiveller The eighth installment of the seemingly perpetual Fast and Furious franchise is now in cinemas across the world, smashing global box office records for an opening weekend, raking in an estimated $761 million. I don’t care how many people go to see Read more...
