Retro Movie Review – Bridesmaids

Directed by TV actor/director Paul Feig and produced in part by Judd Apatow, Bridesmaids tries to deliver a raucous ride and succeeds for the most part. The cast is excellent and building a film around Kristen Wiig (who is also one of the film’s writers) is never a bad thing as she is a comic heavyweight, it’s just that it’s not always believable seeing women act as stupid and self-involved as men.   //   This out of character activity leads to some very funny ...

Retro Movie Review – The Martian

It is equal parts thriller and scientific exploration and focuses on the human resolve to rise to the occasion and survive despite all the odds.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World Movie Review

Most would be familiar by now with the main storyline behind the series, that of the young boy Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who befriends a dragon and forever changes the way his Viking tribe sees these majestic beasts. The movies have been consistently satisfying from a story telling aspect and each new edition adds that little bit more to their ethos.   //   In this, the last addition, we get to see Hiccup become a man and take over his duties as leader of the tribe (after ...
