Film Review: Detective Pikachu

I played the games. I collected the cards. I watched the anime (and the anime movies). I still have some of the figurines. And now there’s a real-life movie ohmygosh. Contains spoilers, duh.

Film Review: Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum

If you like horror films — actual edge-of-your-pants, “Is this real or isn’t it”, honest-to-goodness horror films — and don’t mind chasing subtitles, you need to check out this film. It’s super creepy without resorting to cheap scare tactics or music, LOVED it. I always hated the recent mainstream Hollywood scary films with either really…

Film Review: It (2017)

F*cking clowns, man. I hate clowns. I hate them with a passion. As a child, my greatest fears were skeletons and clowns. As a grown-up, I’d gotten over the former, but not the latter. I’d seen part of the TV miniseries but couldn’t really bear the (now comparably) awful 1990 film quality. This one, though? Brrrrr….

Film Review: Aquaman

Saw this in the cinema and… daaaaamn. This and Wonder Woman restored some faith for me in the DC movie-verse. Aquaman is action-packed, full of beautiful CGI, breathtaking scenes, mindblowing music, and a cheesy plot. Worth watching in the cinema. Contains spoilers, duh.

Film Review: Behind the Walls

tl;dr: a film that tries too hard to be unique and ends up being uninspired and uninteresting. DNF’d at 30 minutes. Contains spoilers (duh).

Film Review: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

OK I saw the original Jumanji and I saw the trailer for this and I LOVE The Rock and Jack Black so there was no way I was passing this up. Contains spoilers, duh.

Review: Your Name

Oh gosh, it’s been a while since I’ve been so in love with a film. Your Name is a wonderful film. Go watch it. If you like Studio Ghibli creations, this is for you. If you like a gripping fantasy romance animated story with a wonderful sense of humour, a mesmerising soundtrack, and gorgeous aesthetics, this…

Film Review: Black Panther

I love this film. Oh my gosh. The hype was absolutely worth it and so great. Must watch. Must watch. I’m not sure if I like this more or Wonder Woman more. Contains spoilers. Duh.

Film Review: Pitch Perfect 3

Much as I loved Anna Kendrick and the soundtracks of the movies so far, the character interactions and dialogue have continued to go downhill since 2. It’s awkward, not funny, and drags on too long. PP3 takes us to Spain, where the now-irrelevant Bellas are struggling with their adult lives and try to return to…

Film Review and Medical Bullshit on TV: Dr. Strange

Hey, a combined Medical Bullshit on TV and Film Review at the same time! What’s next, me reviewing The Good Doctor or Scrubs or Grey’s Anatomy? Hahahahahahaha. OK. I love Marvel. I love Picnic Bandersnatch. I love superpower movies. And this one has superpowers that are so psychedelic it’s mesmerising. I could watch that all…
