Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Movie Review
After the opening WW 2 set-piece we jump forward in time to find Jones being awoken from a deep slumber by a neighbour loudly playing the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour to herald the arrival of the first men on the moon. This expensive use of a fab four tune successfully sets up the late sixties landscape, as does the slice-of-life scenes from New York City

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Movie Review
The Transformers films have always operated at a high level of visual spectacle and basic human endeavour and the new edition is no different. Things have improved notably now that they are casting humans with more real appeal than being just eye candy even though they give them very little to do.
//
Stakes have risen and it’s nothing less than the complete annihilation of planet Earth at stake. With the introduction of a new set of adversaries, the Terrorcons who ...
Elemental Movie Review
The story does have a message and not a particularly veiled one about acceptance of those that you share very little in common with. This is softened via a unique take and look of its main characters. There is also a very Eastern feel to the sense of family.
//
Ember Lumen (Leah Lewis) is a young female flame that is struggling to come to terms with the place in life her father has mapped out for her. When her life intersects with Wade Ripple (Mamoudou Athie) an ...
The Flash Movie Review
The Flash character has always inhabited a world similar to that of Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man is so much as a somewhat normal teen who through an accident is given special powers. These powers combined with the challenges of the teen years make them more relatable. We’ve all had awkward moments during that phase of life.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Movie Review
Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) proves it is still tough being a young Spider-Man and balancing high school, girls and keeping the parental units unaware of your superhero antics. He’s also enduring the absence of gal pal Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld). When Gwen returns and seeks his help on a mission, it turns his life inside out.
//
The look of the film is unlike any other and uses a plethora of animation techniques and a robust palette of colours to dazzle the ...
Renfield Movie Review
Things begin as we join Renfield (Hoult) in a self-help group for people in co-dependent relationships. At first, he is just there looking for victims but soon realises that he has had enough of procuring the human blood bags that the count needs to survive and now needs the tools to form an exit strategy.
//
The subservient nature of Renfield’s occupation is played mostly for laughs. Even our darkest ideas of enduring the world’s worst boss seem a cakewalk ...
The Little Mermaid Movie Review
Visually there are a large number of arresting moments where the spectacle lives up to the modern standard of sensory overload. The human (and fish) element however struggles slightly to keep pace. It was always going to be a big ask to add anything new to a story so well-known.
//
The musical numbers do help at times to lift things and it’s great to have movie songs with real live memorable choruses and not just verse after verse after verse. This is aided by the ...
John Farnham: Finding the Voice Movie Review
Long known as one of our country’s finest singers, there is ample proof in the songs on display. Any who doubts the power of those pipes, there is a mid-film rendition of Amazing Grace that will have you mesmerized. A life lead in the public eye also helps and there is ample footage to help tell the story.
//
The filmmakers are generous with archival footage of many other musical acts that help set the musical climate of the times. This gives the film a wider ...
