Jerry Maguire (1996) Review

April 26, 2022April 24, 2022 Ben

It is rare that you watch a movie where Tom Cruise is not likeable. Unfortunately for Jerry Maguire, where Tom Cruise plays the titular character, that is exactly the case. This would be fine if you slowly grow to like … Continue reading Jerry Maguire (1996) Review

Fighting with my Family (2019) Review

November 27, 2019November 27, 2019 Ben

For something so intrinsically American as WWE and Pro Wrestling, Fighting with my Family has a fantastic British charm which stops this becoming the ultra-cheesy underdog story we have seen a thousand times before. Many will be put off by it’s … Continue reading Fighting with my Family (2019) Review

Creed II (2018) Review

September 20, 2019September 20, 2019 Ben

Creed managed an impossible task of breathing life into a franchise long thought dead. Rocky Balboa ended the Rocky franchise with a suitable chapter but Creed managed to show that there was life in Rocky as a supporting character and that … Continue reading Creed II (2018) Review

Rocky Balboa (2006) Review

September 16, 2019 Ben

There is a reason people buy Greatest Hits albums. That heavy dose of nostalgia, the fact you have all the best moments from your favourite band in one single, accessible place and a clear way to recognise and celebrate the achievements … Continue reading Rocky Balboa (2006) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky V (1990) Review

April 29, 2019 Ben

There are some great steps towards rectifying the mistakes of Rocky IV in the fifth entry to the franchise. For starters, it feels like Rocky is going back to his roots with this movie. The story manages to push Rocky out … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky V (1990) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky IV (1985) Review

April 29, 2019 Ben

The 80s hit the Rocky franchise hard and Rocky IV was the proof. Having hit a franchise high with Rocky III, Rocky IV feels a world away and almost like an entirely different movie franchise altogether. The transformation from resilient under-dog … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky IV (1985) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky III (1982) Review

April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 Ben

Rocky III is the quintessential Rocky movie. It is the Rocky movie that takes everything that worked in the previous two movies, all the moments that everyone loves about Rocky, and builds them-up to their biggest and boldest. It has … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky III (1982) Review

Review 800! The Mighty Ducks (1992)

April 1, 2019 Ben

If you wanted the perfect blueprint for a kid’s sports movie, you’d look to Mighty Ducks. It has it all; a reluctant coach, comic-relief kids alongside others who are noble, full of heart and positive spirit. It also has the bullying … Continue reading Review 800! The Mighty Ducks (1992)

Pixar Month: Cars 2 (2011) Review

September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 Ben

Pixar could be accused of creating a cheap cash-grab sequel with Cars 2. Cars wasn’t the greatest of Pixar movies and certainly wasn’t critically acclaimed but it did make a huge amount of money, particularly in merchandise, so a sequel seemed … Continue reading Pixar Month: Cars 2 (2011) Review

Dwayne Johnson Month: Gridiron Gang (2006) Review

July 10, 2018July 8, 2018 Ben

Gridiron Gang was Dwayne Johnson leading a movie as a “proper” actor. He’d dabbled with roles that weren’t action-orientated already, with both Be Cool and Southland Tales but in those he was a part of an ensemble and there were bigger … Continue reading Dwayne Johnson Month: Gridiron Gang (2006) Review
