Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review
Early example, their usual approach to violence, where it is used almost as a summation of the randomness of fate is sidestepped by having one of the most graphic scenes of maleficence in their canon open the film. It is shocking and arriving so early on acts as a bit of a red herring as underlining all that happens afterward is a simple love story.

Madame Web Movie Review
As the story continues and adds players Sydney Sweeney as Julia Cornwall, Isabela Merced as Anya Corazon and Celeste O'Connor as Mattie Franklin, it becomes more conventual and far less edgy. Keeping the theatregoer off balance is a solid technique and should have been used longer.
//
As the conventions collect and become dominant, so too does the reliance on special effects. With this much girl power, it seems they should have given these ladies a bigger ...
Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema – Nina and the Mean Girls Movie Review
My pawrents did their best to contain my excitement but with so many other doggies going to be there, I knew I would meet a few to crush on and boy I wasn’t disappointed. The crushing onscreen almost rivalled my unbridled passion to sniff as many unique scents as I could, If you know what I mean?

The action and songs on-screen reminded me that every species has an intended pecking order, the cute ones will always try to rule the roost and use their ...
Bob Marley: One Love Movie Review
Robert Nesta Marley was born poor on February 6, 1945, in Jamaica and through his music brought worldwide attention to that small Island nation. He knew much turmoil throughout his life, not least the political upheaval that was almost ever-present in his homeland. His pacifist ways supply the most important building block in the period of his life that the film is based around.

Force of Nature: The Dry 2 Movie Review
Trading the parched open spaces of The Dry for the wet, dense and almost claustrophobic environment found deep in the Victorian mountains helps to redefine the story here. It revolves around a group of women who are on a company hiking retreat when things spiral dramatically out of control. There is also a back story that one of the female participants is a whistle-blower helping the Feds.

Argylle Movie Review
With his new spy yarn Argylle, Vaughn returns to the fold with all those idiosyncrasies intact. It’s a tale of world domination delivered with a sly wink and an ever-changing landscape of who is good and who is bad and what their true intentions are proven to be. Kind of like John le Carré on acid, really strong acid.

Welcome to the Darkness Movie Review
For those unfamiliar, The Darkness rose out of the UK music scene in early two-thousand and then struck gold (and platinum) with their debut album Permission to Land in 2003. It was popular world-wide and sold 1.5 million copies in the UK alone. Their mix of heavy guitar-centric music and outrageous showmanship struck a nerve with the public at that time and they rode the wave until it all came crashing down.

Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema Barbie Movie Review with Nina the Cavoodle
When I heard my pawrents speak of this colourful movie with my kindred spirit Margot Robbie, I knew I had to see it. Now let’s dispel a rumour right now, we of the furry kind can see moving images on a screen even if red and green are sort of difficult. What member of my fellow brethren doesn’t like to bark at those Hollywood doggos when we see them on the screen?
Now how to get my way? The bigger of my two pawrents had this stack of paper on the coffee table with an image of Margot ...
The Iron Claw Movie Review
The Patriarch of the family, Fritz Von Erich was a wrestler with a successful career, but it never reached the heights he thought due. This caused him to over-invest in his children’s lives and forced them to be myopic in seeing their future. This led to self-induced tragedy as well as accidental.

As horrific as the happenings in the film are, they are downplayed and the actual truth is even more sad. This kind of work places large demands on its ...
Mean Girls Movie Review
Starting with an almost word for word recreation of the original film, when the first musical number arrives it reminds you that this version is something new. The voices behind those songs are average at best but this does well to sell the illusion that these are high-school kids not professional singers. The lyrical content is also believable.
//
For a work with mean in the title, this version is decidedly kinder and even more gentle. The personal ...
