Children of the Corn (2023) – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 12:46:21 +0000

Children of the Corn (2023) is just about the least horrifying of horror movies that we’ve watched in the past few years.

Paint – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 13:43:45 +0000

Paint has such little respect for its characters that it becomes a hard watch. Catch some Bob Ross reruns instead.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 10:44:00 +0000

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is definitely a better movie than the original non-Energon Transformers saga, but also a less exciting one.

Elemental – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 07:47:55 +0000

The Death of Pixar? You’d be foolish to call it right now. With Elemental they may not quite be on fire, but they still have the power to warm the heart like few others.

Game Changers: The Video Game Revolution – Book Review

Gemma Young — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 12:00:28 +0000

Game Changers: The Video Game Revolution is the ultimate A-Z guide to nearly 300 of the world’s most iconic games spanning the last 70 years.

Sisu – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 15:08:05 +0000

Sisu doesn’t truck with subtlety. Don’t be tricked by its Finnish origins and beautiful vistas. This is shock and gore. There’s a history lesson in there, but mostly you’ll be whooping as yet another Nazi explodes into a column of entrails.

The Little Mermaid – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 18:54:48 +0000

The Little Mermaid (2023) is a remake that didn’t need to happen, with the only battle-plan for its existence being a plumping of the soundtrack and script.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 03 Sep 2023 16:17:24 +0000

The question of whether Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny justifies its own existence is a tough one.

Beau is Afraid – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 03 Sep 2023 15:47:29 +0000

My initial reaction to Beau is Afraid is that it’s uncomfortable to watch.

Halo: Outcasts – Book Review

Richard Dobson — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 08:48:00 +0000

Halo: Outcasts is very unlike the Halo games we are used to.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 20 Aug 2023 19:16:54 +0000

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse makes us excited for the future of the medium, while also sending a surge of adrenaline through our body. It jams fangs into our skin and pulses into our bloodstream better than any radioactive spider.

Reality – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 14:23:51 +0000

Reality felt more like an experiment at first: one that wanted to constantly announce that it was an experiment.

Hypnotic – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 12:40:32 +0000

We stopped caring as reality after reality was proven to be fake, until we reached the point where Hypnotic became an unwitting comedy.

Fast X – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 07:42:04 +0000

Jason Momoa is a spark plug, a single redeeming element that is trying to zap it into life, but Fast X has all of the speed and energy of a school bus.

The Flash – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 18:26:00 +0000

Does The Flash feel like one of the biggest box office bombs in modern history? Strangely enough, no, it doesn’t.

Infinity Pool – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 18:13:41 +0000

Coming out of Infinity Pool, there are images that have been seared into our brain, as you might hope from a Cronenberg joint. So, if you fancy that kind of mental griddling, then Infinity Pool is worth submerging yourself into.

Diablo: Legends of the Barbarian Bul-Kathos – Book Review

Paul Renshaw — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 07:48:27 +0000

Diablo: Legends of the Barbarians Bul-Kathos from Titan Books is a quality product.

Broker – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 06:19:00 +0000

Much like Shoplifters, Kore-eda Hirokazu has made a film in Broker that’s so endearing that you want to spend many more hours with its characters.

Pearl – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 04:57:00 +0000

If there’s a complaint, it’s that Pearl doesn’t quite have the ability to surprise that X and other Ti West films have. It’s more complete, and a richer, more rounded movie experience, but it also doesn’t scare or pull the rug from beneath that experience.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 17:56:01 +0000

Cherish Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It may not be the tightest, most streamlined of movies, but it’s a movie spent with friends.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 13:07:27 +0000

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves is just about the most fun you can have in front of a TV screen.

The Fabelmans – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 09:50:00 +0000

While The Fabelmans may not be a bearing of Spielberg’s soul, it’s still an inordinately clever movie.

The Pope’s Exorcist – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 17:21:00 +0000

We wouldn’t call The Pope’s Exorcist high art, but we wouldn’t deem it to be throwaway big-budget horror trash, either.

Missing – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 08:30:00 +0000

Missing is just as much of a rollercoaster as Searching, but the twists and loop-the-loops are faster, in vastly different places, and the result is an equal shot of adrenaline.

How To Blow Up A Pipeline – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 17:20:40 +0000

You might have to excuse an overly neat ending and some perceived preachiness, depending on your political persuasion, but it’s an important film to watch regardless.

John Wick: Chapter 4 – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 00:22:00 +0000

We suspect a John Wick marathon has now become a feat of endurance. This final chapter in the Wick saga may be long, and some combat sequences border on the farcical, but the overall emotion is satisfaction.

Renfield – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 15:01:05 +0000

Bored of vampire movies? Renfield is just the tonic. It shakes up the formula until it froths over with gore, action set pieces and delicious subversion. Plus you get Nicolas Cage as Dracula.

Women Talking – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 29 May 2023 14:22:25 +0000

If there was any justice, Women Talking would reach a large audience, but as the film notes, justice isn’t always served.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 28 May 2023 12:37:24 +0000

Before The Super Mario Bros. Movie came out, we would have spat out our coffee at the prospect of a Nintendo Cinematic Universe. Now, we’ve got a head full of ideas for Metroid and Legend of Zelda movies.
