The Marvels Movie Review
Incorporating moments of hand-drawn animation and teen angst alongside contemporary family dynamics sets the film firmly in the current day. Basing almost all the action around the three main female characters, Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan is also a welcome change from the usual testosterone-fueled fare.

Fast X Movie Review
The series has always had a strong connection to the sense of the importance of family and that underlines what is in essence a very simple plot line. But then who drops into their local bijou for a deep and meaningful with this testosterone-charged franchise.

As far as action is concerned Fast X outdoes almost all that has come before and the set pieces are so over the top that they defy both physics and description. It delivers a level of bombast that will keep ...

Retro Movie Review – Kong: Skull Island
The cast is chock full of Hollywood A-Listers including a man of the moment, Tom Hiddleston, the always popular Samuel L. Jackson (in a bad guy role) and even an attempt at some form of indie cred with Brie Larson, here getting her best Lara Croft on following her star turn in Room. The other A-Lister is that big bad monkey man, who this time out is big but not so bad.

Retro Movie Review – 21 Jump Street
How this happened is no real mystery. First it must be said that out of the ten or so people I spoke to before the screening, none had actually seen even a single episode of the eighties era television show, so the slate seems to be clean for a new interpretation with no baggage of having to adhere to fans that know every nuance of the original. The film also steers firmly into the direction of parody and as such takes as many swipes at eighties era society as it does the television of the ...
Retro Movie Review – Trainwreck
The story set up is about a woman in the big city not looking for love but finding it anyway. She is comfortable turning around traditional rom-com situations in regards to male and female behaviour for the discomfort of some audience members. She also succeeds in giving the film a big heart amongst all the relationship carnage.

The way Schumer resolves the final situation is most unexpected and proves her comic ability to think outside the box. It’s a fantastic ...
