Two Popes (2019) Review

March 25, 2020 Ben

Two Popes is held together, not necessarily by the story, but by the two powerhouse performances at its core. Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce are fantastic as the titular Popes, who have some fundamental differences in views but a respect … Continue reading Two Popes (2019) Review

No Country for Old Men (2007) Review

March 1, 2020 Ben

I’ve never been on the Cohen brother’s bandwagon. Where some people see genius, I see convoluted plotting, snail-pace story-telling and sometimes arrogant stylised techniques. Aside from the True Grit remake and parts of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, I don’t … Continue reading No Country for Old Men (2007) Review

JoJo Rabbit (2019) Review

February 25, 2020 Ben

It is a bold move to make a comedy set in the war-torn Berlin of Hitler’s Germany. Even bolder to make one which touches upon The Holocaust and the brainwashing of children through the Hitler Youth. Luckily, Taika Waititi has … Continue reading JoJo Rabbit (2019) Review

Pretty Woman (1990) Review

February 21, 2020 Ben

You can’t help but notice how impressive an actress Julia Roberts is from the first moments she appears on-screen in Pretty Woman. Considering this is fairly early in her career, she has a charm and likeability which carries a fairly dull … Continue reading Pretty Woman (1990) Review

Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) Review

February 20, 2020February 20, 2020 Ben

Whether it was an official decision or not, the fact that Warner Bros is moving away from a shared DC Cinematic Universe is a good one. This is because it gives the movies starring the DC characters the room to breathe … Continue reading Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) Review

Knives Out (2019) Review

February 11, 2020 Ben

It would feel cliche to say that “they don’t make them like this anymore” but watching Knives Out, it becomes clear why the cliche exist. Aside from perhaps Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express, which itself is around the … Continue reading Knives Out (2019) Review

Casper (1995) Review

February 9, 2020February 9, 2020 Ben

There is a difficult balancing act to strike when you are trying to launch a new franchise and introduce a character to a new generation while also trying to keep happy the faithful fans who grew up with the original. … Continue reading Casper (1995) Review

The Happytime Murders (2018) Review

February 4, 2020February 4, 2020 Ben

Taking a medium usually synonymous with children and aiming it squarely at adults is not a new concept but it is one that can work very effectively. Team America did it, as did South Park (no coincidence that they came from … Continue reading The Happytime Murders (2018) Review

Booksmart (2019) Review

February 3, 2020 Ben

The first trick to writing teenagers is to write them realistically. This is the biggest strength of Booksmart: It feels “real.” It is set in high-school, one which allows seeming riots in the hallways on the final day of the … Continue reading Booksmart (2019) Review
