Film Review: The Lobster

The Lobster’s first half might be a perfect movie, and while the second half doesn’t quite stack up, it’s still one of the best alternative reality films I have ever seen.

Film Review: Creed

Creed is what re-imagining a franchise should look like, something that homages its past in the past way possible while delivering a story that is wholly its own.

Film Review: Spotlight

Spotlight is a very good journalistic drama, starring an excellent ensemble, that won’t let you go from start to finish.

Film Review: Carol

Carol is a beautiful little love story that feels a bit too one-sided. Still, it has impeccable direction and exquisite acting at every turn; first and foremost from Rooney Mara.

Film Review: Victor Frankenstein

Oh, ok… Hm… The visual effects are pretty decent in this world full of magic and glowing eyes. What else… Vin Diesel is quite an imposing figure holding a blazing sword below a stylistic […]

Film Review: Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is frontlined by a blazing script from Aaron Sorkin and another great turn from Michael Fassbender, while Danny Boyle keeps the three settings of the film feeling fresh.
