2020 Reviews – The Way Back
I unashamedly and unironically made my way back to the cinema to see The Way Back. I made my contactless payment, got my popcorn in a prepacked bag and sat in my isolated seat; it seemed so fitting. The cinemas … Continued
2020 Reviews – Artemis Fowl
If Artemis Fowl had been released in cinemas, as originally intended, I doubt I would have rushed to see it. Live-Action Disney doesn’t get me in the same way their Animation does, especially after abominations like A Wrinkle in Time … Continued
2020 Reviews – Dolittle
In the annals of history, is Robert Downey Jr. going to be remembered most fondly for his turn as Tony Stark/Iron Man or the great Doctor Dolittle? It’s a tough question, I know. It’s such a close call that it’s … Continued

A little titbit about me – I don’t usually go too hard at the cinema in the first few months following Oscar season, knowing that whatever I miss, I’ll be able to catch up on come years end, either through … Continued

If I go by Rotten Tomatoes, then this movie is going to be gross. But I’m a brave viewer; I make my own opinion and boldly go where angels fear to tread. This movie stars Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck and … Continued
