—
in Movie NewsIt’s almost 2021 and it can’t help but be a new and improved new year. Right? RIGHT? While there’s many more important things than getting the movie industry back on its feet, it’s still an important part of many people’s lives and plays a crucial role in the economy. Let’s hope that these new movie release…

Movie Review – Monster Hunter
I’ll get right to it: this movie isn’t worth seeing in a theater. If this movie came out in the 1980s the special effects would have been impressive. Today? Not so much. You get what you would expect from Milla Jovovich. There’s some cringe-worthy dialog early in the movie that no actor could make work.…

Movie Review – Fatale
—
Hollywood hit the mark with Fatale. It presents itself with steamy forbidden passion, back stabbing and a plot that keeps you wondering right up to the end on how it will all play out. I was in awe of Hilary Swank’s performance. She exuded sex appeal and followed it up with a brutality that would…

Rewatch Review – Last Christmas
—
A lot of films take their titles from pop songs. They tend to then follow one of three paths. 1, There is nothing to do with the song in the film other than, perhaps, a play of the song part way through, e.g. American Pie, Whiplash, Stand By Me. 2, The song is a pointer to…

Rewatch Review – Deck The Halls
—
Deck The Halls joins the pantheon of films that I seem to be the only person who likes them: Cats, Gemini Man, Ghostbusters (2016), Godzilla (1998), Alien Resurrection, Planet Of The Apes (2001), Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace… I enjoyed them all! OK… Phantom Menace was a bit of a disappointment. But Deck The Halls is almost universally…

Rewatch Review – The Nightmare Before Christmas
Full disclosure… I am a big Tim Burton fan. I’ve seen and enjoyed all of his films. Yes… even his Planet Of The Apes! And the thing is that you tend to think of him as a live action director, albeit with an eye for the more cartoonish aspects of life. So, is that why he…

Christmas Movie Review – Happiest Season
—
Happiest Season is a Christmas film. I thought I’d better just make that clear given the article elsewhere! Anyway, this is a Christmas film through and through. The essence of it is a couple going away to spend the holidays with one of the families. It’s a fairly standard rom-com where one of the couple…

Rewatch Review – The Man Who Invented Christmas
—
A lot of what we now think of as Christmas traditions going back centuries actually started out as little more than whims of fashion — many of which are less than two hundred years old. The Man Who Invented Christmas tells the story of some of those fashions. When Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol there wasn’t really a…

Rewatch Reviews – Arthur Christmas
First off, I LOVE Arthur Christmas! It is funny, entertaining, and endlessly re-watchable. The talent on display is awesome and the attention to detail is breathtaking. There are so many little things that you either see for the first time when you watch it, or can point out to other people who haven’t spotted it. It’s…

Movie Review – Come Play
—
Come Play wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. We’ll break this one down into what was right and what was wrong. Right: Azhy Robertson, playing Oliver did fantastic. I can see him doing well for himself. The concept of the monster was new. I liked how they used today’s technology to bring it to…
