FILM REVIEW:: THE GRAY MAN

Let me catch my breath real quick because boy, that adrenalin rush just keeps going for a whole 2 hours with this Netflix film. The Gray Man, is literally non-stop action, with a side of fast paced story telling and a heap of elegant fighting scenes. But did it actually work? The Gray Man introduces us to Six (Ryan Gosling) who is picked up by the CIA after spending some

FILM REVIEW:: THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

It’s fairly obvious that this Marvel fan has been dying to set her eyes on this fourth installment of Thor. Being shot in Australia and talks of it being a family affair, excitement isn’t enough to describe the anticipation. And so finally it’s here, and I’m not sure if it was an episode of Seinfeld, or if I was watching a bad over-dramatic soap opera, but my love for the

FILM REVIEW:: LIGHTYEAR

“In 1995, Andy got a toy from his favourite movie. This is that movie.” It’s the origin story of the origin story. And what a fun, yet very frustratingly pleasant movie this was. Lightyear follows the adventures of Buzz (voiced by Chris Evans), one of the most respected space rangers, on a mission to get his crew back home after he himself caused a collision, which trapped them on a

FILM REVIEW:: TOP GUN: MAVERICK

It’s been a while since I could say a movie made me feel good, while stressing me out at the same time. To feel real, raw emotion speaks for itself. I’m super pleased to announce that Top Gun: Maverick, is well worth the wait, and it’s a cinema experience you do not want to miss. Sequence by sequence, scene by scene, this film was a complete replica of the original,

FILM REVIEW:: DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

Full of stuff I really don’t know how to mention without spoiling, In The Multiverse of Madness is the second installment of the Doctor Strange branch, of this humongous tree we call the Marvel Universe. What stands out the most about this film, is that I really don’t know how to feel about it. Did I like it? Did I hate it? I’m leaving the cinema feeling numb and a

FILM REVIEW:: THE BATMAN

Look. I have this strong love-hate relationship with Batman. The last Batman movie I truly loved… heck, the last DC movie I truly loved was the Dark Knight. It was perfect. This Robert Pattinson led version of the masked crusader, equalled it. Almost, topped it. Almost! The Riddler (Paul Dano) takes full control of this film. Using what he uses best – riddles, to reveal the true corruption of the

FILM REVIEW:: ENCANTO

Once again, Disney has got me tearing up and connecting on all sorts of level. This little film which includes the always talented, cool, Lin-Manuel Miranda on the writers list, is Disney’s most recent must watch. And I must add early on; anything that knocks Frozen off its pedestal is a winner for me regardless of the films capabilities. Encanto revolves around the gifted Madrigal family, led by their grand

FILM REVIEW:: VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE

When I started watching the second instalment of Venom, I realised that I could not for the life of me remember the first one. I almost regretted not watching it, just to rejig the memory, but beside the point… Venom: Let There Be Carnage, singles out Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) as our villain as expected when he was revealed at the end of the first film (I remember that). After

FILM REVIEW:: BLACK WIDOW

The pandemic really threw the release of Black Widow off. Especially here in Melbourne, in and out of lockdown, and add a baby to the mix for us; it didn’t make it easy for us to watch our beloved Marvel’s latest release in the cinema. Its delayed release also created a slight hiccup to the timeline which will only make sense if you’ve kept up with the Marvel Studios TV

FILM REVIEW:: ENDINGS, BEGINNINGS

So my Sebastian Stan phase, back almost 10 months ago, continued with this one. What a special little movie. If you’re looking for something to make you feel things; whatever it might be, this movie might just be the one to move you. I’m not talking a sweet movie where a well-loved character dies in the end sort of thing, I mean just an emotionally driven, sympathise-with-the-main-protagonist sort of thing.
