The Paperboy (2012) Review

September 3, 2021September 2, 2021 Ben

As film casts go, you can’t ask for much better the The Paperboy. This is powerhouse talent, from the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, John Cusack and Zac Efron. For some of those actors, this is a routine performance … Continue reading The Paperboy (2012) Review

Sing (2016) Review

May 11, 2017May 10, 2017 Ben

Sing has all the ingredients to be a great animated movie but just lacks some magic and manages to fall into familiar traps. It is a shame because it has the key elements needed, from a simple but engaging plot, … Continue reading Sing (2016) Review

Trailer of the Week

May 5, 2017May 4, 2017 Ben

I love trailers. I think there is a special skill to putting together a good trailer. It must capture the attention and entice an audience but give very little away so that the viewer doesn’t feel like they’ve already seen … Continue reading Trailer of the Week

Oscar Month: Films that didn’t get Oscar nominated… but were trying to

February 7, 2017 Ben

There are some films that will never be Oscar nominees. Anything by Marvel studios will struggle to get a nomination (unless it is in one of the digital effects categories), as will most comedies.

Mud (2012) Review

December 20, 2016December 18, 2016 Ben

There is a stark, realistic charm to director Jeff Nichols Mud. Where his other movies like Take Shelter and Midnight Special had an almost supernatural feel to them, Mud grounds itself in the harsh realities of life in America’s deep south, … Continue reading Mud (2012) Review

Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) Review

September 10, 2016September 9, 2016 Ben

Kubo and the Two Strings starts with the line “If you must blink, do it now” and it is good advice. The first act of the movie will hold anyone’s attention. The sequence that starts the movie, showing Kubo’s Mother protecting … Continue reading Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) Review

Why uncredited surprise casting is so effective

June 17, 2016June 17, 2016 Ben

What is meant by uncredited surprise casting is when a well-known actor takes a major role in a movie without any advertisement of their involvement. This doesn’t mean cameos. Cameos are fun but it is hardly hard to keep a thirty … Continue reading Why uncredited surprise casting is so effective

Is this the Golden Age for the Space movie?

November 3, 2015 Ben

The Martian could very well be the best movie I’ve seen this year. From the exciting opening to the thrilling finale I was gripped. I’ve already explained why I loved the movie in my review but needless to say I left … Continue reading Is this the Golden Age for the Space movie?

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Review

May 26, 2015 Ben

Of many current actors, Leonardo DiCaprio has made the best career choices. Even credible film stars like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have their stinkers, making you wonder what they were thinking as they signed on the dotted line, but … Continue reading The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Review

Interstellar (2014) Review

November 22, 2014 Ben

Interstellar suffers from overreaching with it’s grand idea. It tries to be very clever and make a bold statement. There is nothing wrong with this but when it is realised and executed as poorly as it is here, you end … Continue reading Interstellar (2014) Review
