Bad Boys: Ride or Die Movie Review
The two quipsters are on the hunt for the behind-the-scenes scoundrels that are sullying the reputation of their late boss, Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano). This of course spins things out into epic proportions. The night lights and pulsating colours of the Magic City play the backdrop as before and help to illuminate and excite the action. Fancy cars burn rubber and armed bad guys pop caps.

The pacing is a bit inconsistent as the plot slows down occasionally to ...
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Movie Review
Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road gets her origin story this time out and it’s a cracker. Played by Alyla Browne (as the child) and Anya Taylor-Joy (as the young adult), the hardships endured at these early stages of her life help to inform how someone so young could have such great resolve. This is an unbelievably harsh land and her strength is more than equal to the task of survival.

The Three Musketeers – Part I: D’Artagnan Movie Review
The Three Musketeers touches on the timeless themes of integrity, a sense of duty and brotherhood but also includes kick-ass sword fights and more than its fair share of damsels in distress. With this new (2023) take on the classic, The Three Musketeers – Part I: D’Artagnan and Part 2: Milady, it’s fitting to be shepherded by French director and second-generation movie man Martin Bourboulon.

Black Box Theatre Review
.
Driven to create this device by the lasting memory of a distant father who was killed in a plane crash, it became an industry standard and has helped hundreds of crash scene investigators discover the causes behind the incidents. Creating this device and then getting it to be accepted in a conservative environment was a huge challenge and became his life’s work.

Corner Office Movie Review
This satirical look at the soul-crushing nature of corporate business and the way it turns humans into automatons is mostly focused through the eyes, ears and thoughts of Orson (Hamm). He is a man like few you’ve ever met in the cinematic universe. Filled to the brim with odd eccentricities and social awkwardness, Orson exists in a world almost entirely of his own making.

His creative thinking is mired in a morass of reality and internal dialogue and ...

JB Fairfield – A Time For Heroes
Music made for music’s sake can be quite powerful and even more so with an underlying message of the heroics present in all of us. In JB Fairfield’s latest release, A Time For Heroes the cause for that feeling is presented in such a way as to inspire as well as entertain. It’s a concept work that sees each song interlocking with each other and the ebb and flow is mesmerising,

Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Movie Review with Nina the Cavoodle!
Seems the picture was attached to something called Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. This collection of moving images is called a movie. Now most rooms that show these moving images don’t allow puppies, can you imagine? So when my humans realised my attraction, after many nudges, they found a place for me and my fellow doggies to enjoy these moving pictures.
Turns out it was outdoors as well. When we arrived, there were so many potential new best friends I couldn’t contain my excitement ...
