Movie Review – Venom: Let There Be Carnage
—
I’ve been looking forward to this movie since the first one ended. That anticipation grew by an order of magnitude when I learned Woody Harrison would be the villain in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. But recently, when I learned Venom: Carnage had a 90-minute runtime I grew concerned. I knew there would be a…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Of all the things that Tomorrow Never Dies has going for it something that, perhaps, doesn’t spring immediately to mind is the sheer weight of originality. This is the first film in the franchise to have no relationship with anything written by Ian Fleming outside of the character names. Licence To Kill was a virtual pick and mix…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Spectre (2015)
Spectre was the last Bond film released in theaters. It’s hard to believe it’s been six years. For those wanting a refresher before No Time To Die, I recommend going back to Casino Royale (2006) and watching all four Daniel Craig films. Be sure to pay attention to Mr. White. He becomes a crucial character…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Skyfall (2012)
I’m doing this review last of all despite it being my first pick… Skyfall is definitely my favourite Bond film, just edging out Casino Royale. I’ll admit that in this regard I’m at odds with the voters of IMDb.com… they have Casino Royale at 8.0/10 with Skyfall and Goldfinger tying for second on 7.7/10. I haven’t hidden my…

Movie Review – Copshop
—
I can’t say I had any valid expectations going into the movie because all I knew of it was what I saw on the poster. I knew Gerald Butler was in it. He’s a mixed bag. I really like the actor and most of the movies he’s in, but he’s also been in a few…

A Groundhog Day Perspective on Ryan Reynold’s Free Guy
—
We all know that things have been all over the place, thanks to the devastation caused by Plague 2.0. There used to be an order to things; films came out in the cinema for a few weeks or months, depending on how popular it was assessed they would be. The phrase “released directly to video”…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – GoldenEye (1995)
GoldenEye is an important Bond film. It ended the six-year hiatus since License to Kill, during which Timothy Dalton quit and Alfred R. Broccoli stepped down as producer. It introduced Pierce Brosnan in his first outing as James Bond. And it was the basis for an extremely popular video game, one which I have fond memories…

Movie Review – The Card Counter
—
When I saw that Martin Scorsese was the executive producer, I thought this movie would be on par with the likes of Taxi Driver or Goodfellas. Wow, I was so totally wrong. Simply put, this movie sucked. It’s a dark character study, which is usually great as long as the writing is well done. Nope,…
