Film Review - Runt
If you’re into Aussie battlers, beautiful Australian scenery, cute speedy dogs, and blatantly crying your heart out in public then Runt is the film for you.
Film Review - Imaginary
Imaginary is a confounding experience, with absolutely none of the first draft wrinkles of the script ironed out.
Film Review - Baghead
Based on his 2017 short film of the same name, Alberto Corredor’s Baghead is a horror film about a young woman who inherits her father's pub, only to find out there's a supernatural entity in the basement with the ability to take on the form of dead loved ones.
Film Review - Retribution
Few things in cinema are as certain as the Liam Neeson action movies released at least once or twice a year for the past decade and a half.
Film Review - Past Lives
Written and directed by Celine Song, Past Lives centres on Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), former childhood sweethearts who reunite after 24 years.
Film Review - Dracula: Voyage of the Demeter
Voyage of the Demeter's real problem is that the audience already knows where the map leads, and the film does little in its way to add any bite.
Film Review - John Wick: Chapter 4
Like its predecessors, Chapter 4 indulges in its extravagance unapologetically and gives us some of the best action scenes not only in the franchise, but in cinema as a whole.
Film Review - The Fabelmans
For Spielberg, the world makes sense through the dreamlike lens of filmmaking. The Fabelmans manages to conjure cinematic spectacle out of family drama with embracive character studies and an unyielding recount of bittersweet youth.
Film Review - Orphan: First Kill
While its visual and budgetary limitations may mean I can't exactly say Orphan: First Kill is a must-see on the big screen, it is well worth checking out for anyone who even mildly enjoyed the first movie.
Film Review: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
After being rejected for a “game changer” role, Nick Cage takes the job of entertaining eccentric millionaire superfan Javi (Pedro Pascal) at his birthday party in Spain. Things take an action-movie turn when the CIA recruits Nick to spy on Javi as they believe him to be an extremely dangerous cartel kingpin.
