2020 Reviews – Unhinged
Taking advantage of being classified as rural Victoria, I snuck in some new movies just before the cinemas shut down again state-wide for tighter COVID lockdowns. Will this horrible year ever end? Thankfully, most of Australia is coping very well, … Continued
2020 Reviews – Underwater
Whenever a movie like this comes along, it is always comparable to Alien. Underwater is aware enough to steer into it, providing some pretty cool nods to Ripley and her Xenomorph franchise. These movies love to cast a comedian; Ryan … Continued
2020 Reviews – Jumanji: The Next Level
Here’s my impression of me during the first new Jumanji movie – “Wah, why is the boardgame now a video game? Wah, that’s not my Van Pelt. Wah, wah, wah.” I knew I was being a little overprotective, but the … Continued

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 – Dolittle
