Escape from New York (1981) Review

December 10, 2021December 8, 2021 Ben

The set-up for Escape from New York is so perfect. Manhattan Island is now a prison, run by the prisoners and a freak event causes the President of the United States to crash-land Air Force One right in the middle. … Continue reading Escape from New York (1981) Review

Every once in a while, a movie comes along that changes everything. There is a distinct shift in Hollywood and culture from the time The Matrix was released and its impact can still be felt on movies today. This is … Continue reading The Matrix (1999) Review

Elysium (2013) Review

December 14, 2020 Ben

After the fantastic work that Neill Blomkamp did creating a believable and immersive world with District 9, you would be forgiven for having high hopes for a futuristic, dystopian world that he can build from the ground up. Unfortunately, as … Continue reading Elysium (2013) Review

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review

January 27, 2020 Ben

Considering this is the movie to end a nine film franchise that spans over 42 years, it lacks a lot of the key planning which could have made it the rightful end to the Star Wars and Skywalker story. Being … Continue reading Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review

When 2019 was the Future: Daybreakers (2009) Review

June 11, 2019June 11, 2019 Ben

There is a great idea at the core of Daybreakers. The film uses its science-fiction and recent future setting well to create a world which seems tangible but is based around a unique idea: Most of the population are now vampires. … Continue reading When 2019 was the Future: Daybreakers (2009) Review

When 2019 was the future: The Running Man (1987) Review

June 3, 2019June 2, 2019 Ben

There is an eerily accurate satire and parody to The Running Man that wasn’t that prevalent when it was released but means a lot today. The idea of an extreme reality television show which results in murder and bloodshed has been done … Continue reading When 2019 was the future: The Running Man (1987) Review

Best of the Rest 2018: Annihilation (2018) Review

January 30, 2019January 29, 2019 Ben

Netflix seems like the perfect fit for Annihilation. It is a movie that would struggle with a traditional classification and certainly doesn’t fit into any genre comfortably. It can be described as a clever science-fiction movie but one that touches upon … Continue reading Best of the Rest 2018: Annihilation (2018) Review

Best of the Rest 2018: A Quiet Place (2018) Review

January 23, 2019January 22, 2019 Ben

The term “edge of your seat” was created for viewing movies like A Quiet Place. The film manages to create tension from the very beginning that never relents and holds you until the credits roll. It is an intense experience but … Continue reading Best of the Rest 2018: A Quiet Place (2018) Review

Pixar Month: Wall-E (2008) Review

September 17, 2018September 16, 2018 Ben

It is a bold move to have a character who doesn’t speak on-screen, alone, for the first act of a children’s movie. You have to depend on the character holding the screen with no inner-monologue, no outer dialogue and purely on … Continue reading Pixar Month: Wall-E (2008) Review
