Rami Malek is Magnifico-o-o in GaGa Queen romp (Bohemian Rhapsody review)

October 27, 2018February 28, 2019 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Queen are arguable one of the biggest and best loved bands in the world. Lead by front man Freddie Mercury, they created countless classics. Now, telling the story of Freddie and his balancing act between the stage and his personal life, Bohemian Rhapsody takes us on the journey of Queen from their inception to their iconic 1985 Live Aid performance. Despite certain historical discrepancies being taken, and a definite glorification of the characters, this toe-tapping musical drama will absolutely Rock You!

Hunt For Dull October (Hunter Killer review)

October 24, 2018October 24, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Gerard Butler hasn’t got a great track record for film making. While his films are generally enjoyable, they are on a critical level often quite shallow and badly done. Unfortunately, Hunter Killer is another example of this, as the submarine thriller begins to sink.

1969: A Space Odyssey (First Man review)

October 17, 2018October 17, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Damien Chazelle, Oscar winning director of La La Land is back. Ditching the songs in favour of grand practical effects, First Man tells the inspirational story of how NASA managed to land a man on the Moon, and how that affected Neil Armstrong’s wife and family back home.

If you’re Slappy and you know it (Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween review)

October 13, 2018October 13, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Slappy the Dummy is genuinely one of the most terrifying characters in a series aimed at children. He is the brainchild of R. L. Stine and has starred in multiple books and the 2015 'Goosebumps' film. Now he's returning to cause more havoc, but is the best part of a film that does nothing original with its premise.

The Grand Bloody-Mess Hotel (Bad Times at the El Royale review)

October 13, 2018October 13, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Drew Goddard, writer/director of 'Cabin in The Woods', is one of the highest regarded writers working at the moment. After scripting ‘World War Z’ and ‘The Martian’ (for which he was Oscar nominated), he returns to the director’s chair with his latest project, 'Bad Times at the El Royale'. After hitting us in the face with a darkly intriguing opening, Goddard takes the audience on a brilliantly entertaining and fantastically crafted journey of coincidence, misfortune and nasty occurrences.

Johnny English: Licence to Bore (Johnny English Strikes Again review)

October 7, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Johnny English Strikes Again is the third film in the comedy spy series led by Rowan Atkinson. What started as a great first film grew slightly tiring in the second, and unfortunately this third film continues the slow death. It’s not totally without redemption, but it’s not far off.

Revenge of the slimey T-1000 (Venom review)

October 5, 2018October 13, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

Lady Gaga fans have been receiving backlash this week after they allegedly began writing fake Venom reviews to persuade people to instead watch Lady Gaga’s film A Star is Born. I must admit that after seeing both films, I don’t necessarily disagree with them, as I’d much rather people see a genuine masterclass in filmmaking rather than watch this poor messy excuse for a superhero movie.

A dazzling snapshot of fame and love (A Star is Born review)

October 4, 2018October 3, 2018 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

In his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper has created an incredibly powerful, raw and emotional piece. In the most positive way possible, this is 2018’s La La Land…and might even be better than it.
