Everything that the fans wanted to see in the prequels for the original Star Wars trilogy is crammed into the last hour of this movie. It is only after watching the final act of the movie that you realise how pointless … Continue reading Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005) Review
This movie could have been called Attack of the CGI. The original trilogy had a rough appearance that led to its charm and the fact that everything seemed “cobbled” together also made it feel authentic. It is well documented that George … Continue reading Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) Review
The worse criticism you can level at a Star Wars movie is that it is boring. From the beginning of the highly anticipated first prequel to the much-loved “original trilogy” you can sense something isn’t right. The scrolling text is talking … Continue reading Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) Review

A lot of people disliked Prometheus. I wasn’t one of them, I thought there was a lot to like about the movie but then again, it was never going to be Alien or even reach those dizzying heights. In fact, my … Continue reading Is Alien: Covenant trying to wipe away Prometheus?
What If… is a self-indulgent look at how things could have been. I take an event or a rumour and let my imagination run wild. It’s rarely based on fact and completely based on guess-work and conjecture. Reboots rarely do … Continue reading What If… The Reboots/Remakes Came First?
H.G Wells’ The War of the Worlds is one of my favourite books.
