St. Vincent Review
We’ve all seen this story played out before, but this one managed to pull me and make me care. Bill Murray’s grumpy old man routine is pitch perfect. There’s just the right amount of snarl, […]

Robot Overlords Review
Too adult for youngsters yet lacking the drama or action to make it appeal to anyone older, this plucky Brit film has its heart in the right place but ultimately isn’t interesting enough. Granted, it […]

Mutanimals #2 Review
The coolest thing to take away from Mutanimals #2 is that ‘Hob shoots first’. But the most important thing to take away is that this story is full of real characters with thoughts, feelings and […]

Star Wars Rebels – S1E15 – Fire Across the Galaxy
Fire Across the Galaxy is an amazing episode of Star Wars Rebels. It’s also a massive pain in the backside, as it’s the last one and I want to see more. This episode completely sidelines […]

100 Word Review – Total Recall
This retelling had countless hours spent on design, effects, and lens flare. There are also some striking action scenes. None of it matters when the story engenders nothing more than a ‘meh’ though. I can […]
