FILM REVIEW:: CHAOS WALKING

I’m not completely sure about the hate this movie was getting, to be honest. I mean, it was a few steps too far from being great, but was a far cry from being horrible. I was looking forward to a tremendous fight, but ended up getting something neat and tidy. It should have been chaotic, but it missed that mark. I know I’ve said ‘but’ a lot, however (ah ha!)

FILM REVIEW:: SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY

It is fair to say, with Looney Tunes being one of my most favourite things growing up, I was pretty excited for the second and more high-tech version of a beloved classic. But it was suffocated by so many distractions, what was meant to be an overfilled bag of entertainment, ended up being a bag of bore. Space Jam: A New Legacy centres around Al G. Rhythm (Don Cheadle) who

FILM REVIEW:: THE DRY

Imagine a standing ovation, that starts off slow, with one person somewhere in the middle of the audience, getting up from their seat. Everyone looks at this one person and are then themselves, encouraged to raise slowly, applauding just as passionately. Then, the entire audience erupts in a roaring cheer. The Dry deserves this type of loud, round-of-applause, and bloody hell does it make me proud to be Australian. With

FILM REVIEW:: THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME

I wasn’t in the mood for a movie when I clicked on The Devil All The Time. Especially one based on the religious folks of the West Virginian 50s. But I was on a bit of a Sebastian Stan craze (don’t ask me why). If I hadn’t IMDb’ed, I could not tell you organically what the movie was about. But here’s what I got: The Devil All The Time is

FILM REVIEW:: SOUL

If you need some encouragement to live every moment, and make the most of your time here on Earth, watch Soul. This is one of those unique concepts I, personally have never come across, in film. It’s the type of film that, because of its idea, you get into a trance and you probably don’t blink whilst you watch it. This clever little Pixar film follows Joe (Jamie Foxx), a

FILM REVIEW:: MULAN (2020)

It was the highly anticipated Disney live action remake everyone was so eager to get their eyes on. Unfortunately, COVID-19 kept pushing the release date, until Disney finally decided to pop it onto trusty Disney+ for a few dollaradoos. That was until it would be put up for free in December. Basically, what I’m trying to say is, considering the shocking year 2020 was, and the standard of this film,

FILM REVIEW:: THE OLD GUARD

Netflix has definitely been a good friend during lockdown/maternity leave. It’s constantly bringing something out to help with the boredom. The Old Guard was one of those flicks to help consume some time, and it was impressive by just its trailer – so, on it went. The Old Guard centres around a group of people with one thing in common: Immortality. They have lived during some of the most eventful

FILM REVIEW:: FATAL AFFAIR

Just sitting here, shaking my head, thinking, what a waste of an hour and a half of my life. Where do you even begin to pick where it’s so bad? It’s just all one big pile of, well, I’ll say it, shit! Is it the plot, the storyline, the acting? It’s not a theme we haven’t seen before, but this version, didn’t need to be made. Fatal Affair is the

FILM REVIEW:: EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA

What I thought was going to be an absolute joke (and not in the haha-this-is-funny kind), and a film that makes a mockery of a hugely popular and well-loved event, such as the Eurovision Song Contest, ended up being an uplifting, light-hearted, still silly, but ever so heart-warming movie spectacle. I am so glad I picked this one to watch on a gloomy day. It was the right pick up

FILM REVIEW: EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE

So I’m one of those people who loves a good serial killer documentary, and jumps on it as soon as it’s released. Ted Bundy has always been fascinating to me, because of the way he carried himself, the way he spoke, and the way he manipulated. I learned a lot watching his story. Apart from personal experience, Bundy was the first serial killer and probably the only serial killer who
