Strays Movie Review

Reggie (Will Ferrell), Bug (Jamie Foxx), Hunter (Randall Park) and Maggie (Isla Fisher) are the canines in question and they prove there are consequences to miss-treating man’s best buddy. Just ask that human dropkick Doug (Will Forte) who ends up paying a very heavy price for his bad behaviour.   //     Director Josh Greenbaum gets the raunch just right and keeps the profanity flowing. One would also hope that Jamie Foxx gets paid for every f-bomb he drops ...

Accurate it is certainly not but it does provide a fun blast of racing histrionics amid a feel-good story of overcoming great obstacles to realise your dreams. Don’t be misled by the fact it is based on a true story and base your level of enjoyment on its sense of realism. This is pure fantasy stuff.   //   The real racing driver in question is Brit Jann Mardenborough who beat 90,000 other entrants in the GT Academy competition. He had no real racing experience but ...

Asteroid City Movie Review

Seldom laugh-out-loud funny, the humour is too dexterous for that, this is the kind of mirth that builds most in remembrance.   //     Trying to reduce Asteroid City to a mere synopsis does it a disservice as it is a work filled with subtext, subversion and sublim...
