Pacific Rim: Uprising follows on from 2013’s Pacific Rim, and I’d never seen the original beforehand so watched it before settling down to this.

Skyscraper is an action movie that’s all about one man’s heroic efforts to get to see a movie with Dwayne Johnson at Vue Cinemas called Skyscraper… but I’ll get to that. If you’ve seen the trailers, you’ll know Johnson (now taking over the crown from Arnie, Bruce and Stallone as the human special effect) plays […]

Kong: Skull Island is normally the kind of films that would shown up on the big screen in the summer, but has actually come at a welcome time for parents of young children. Their offspring will have been looking forward to Hugh Jackman’s latest Wolverine outing in Logan, but they can’t watch it in the […]

The Revenant refers to a person who has returned, and supposedly from the dead. In this case, it’s Hugh Glass (no, not Hugh Jass), portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio. As we’re introduced to this frontiersman in the 1820s, he’s a member of a team of fur pelt traders who’s husband to a murdered wife. Father to […]

Noah begins with a crash court of biblical mythology about Adam & Eve’s sons, where Cain killed Abel, and something about the Watchers, and temptation leading to sin, and the big man upstairs deciding to send a flood to wash all the scum off the streets… hang on, I’ve veered into Taxi Driver territory. Anyhoo, […]

Godzilla is the monster that just won’t stay dead, or at the very least, attempt to be killed. I enjoyed Roland Emmerich’s 1998 take on the character, as an enjoyable piece of hokum, and while I still haven’t seen Gareth Edwards‘ low-budget Monsters, I knew it was well-received, so why not let him have a […]
