It’s not very often that the films within a movie trilogy get stronger with each subsequent entry, but the Apes franchise has managed to do just that. Following the great Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, director Matt Reeves caps off the trilogy with one of the darkest entries in the franchise that also…
Well there’s no doubt about it, this movie rocks. A collaboration with Sony and Marvel, this is the second reboot that Spidey has gone through on the big screen but, unlike the previous attempt, this one sticks the landing. Avoiding rehashing the origin story that the mainstream audience is now probably sick to death of,…
Ouch. Well that was a painful slog. You would think that after seeing the previous four Transformers movies I would have learnt my lesson. But no, I keep giving Michael Bay the benefit of the doubt, only to have him let me down yet one more time. I’m beginning to wonder if I have some…
What do you if you’re a big movie studio with a large back catalogue of classic movie monsters? Why reboot them into a monster cinematic universe of course. And that’s the plan that Universal Studios is hoping to get off the ground with their new Dark Universe, an interconnected set of movies featuring Hollywood monsters…
Warner Brothers hasn’t been having much luck with the launch of its DC Expanded Universe (DCEU). While Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad have been profitable, the movies haven’t really had much love from critics or the mainstream audience. With complaints of being too dour or lifeless, more style than substance, it…

It’s the only theory that can explain the decisions that are made by the characters in Alien: Covenant. But of course, if they did act intelligently I guess we really wouldn’t have a movie to…
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, language, and suggestive content. The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was irreverent, quirky and unlike anything else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is irreverent, quirky and unlike anything else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Basically, if you didn’t like the first…
Rated R (for language, sci-fi violence, horror) After a close call reigning in an out of control satellite, a multi-national group of scientists on the international space station ISS are charged with examining soil samples from Mars for evidence of extra-terrestrial life. In these samples lie dormant single cellular organisms and when British biologist Hugh…
Rated PG (action and violence) The late 80’s/early 90’s was a great time to be alive if you were a Disney fan. The studio had just knocked it out of the park with the Little Mermaid, breathing new life into the animation department, and was just about to deliver their take on another fairy tale, Beauty and…
Rated PG-13 (sci-fi violence, suggestive content and disturbing images). Set in the near future where nearly everyone has some level of cybernetic enhancements, Ghost in the Shell’ is centred on a young woman called Major (Scarlett Johansson), a survivor of a terrorist attack whose body is irrevocably damaged. After undergoing the first successful brain transplant into…
