Film Review: The Hunt

Note: This is film #101 of my 365 Film Challenge. WARNING! Some spoilers ahead. This is a film that starts with a great premise and has some nice touches throughout but ultimately fails because of some heavy handed satire and lack of character development on both sides, which results in little more than caricatures. The …

Film Review: The Kissing Booth 2

Note: This is film #91 of my 365 Film Challenge. Okay, so the first film didn't wow me, but I figured I need to watch a lot of movies and having watched a lot of horrorish movies lately this would be a nice change of pace. Now entering her senior year in high school Elle …

Film Review: Mulan

Note: This is film #119 of my 365 Film Challenge. Disney's run of remaking their animated movies in live action has been hit and miss for me. Which some have been great films that have referenced the originals while changing or developing certain aspects to good effect (The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast), others …

Film Review: The Invisible Man

Note: This is film #98 of my 365 Film Challenge. Elisabeth Moss is the lead in this thriller as a woman who is stalked and tormented by her abusive ex who has worked out how to become invisible. It's a pretty good idea for a movie and the opening sequence where Moss' Cecilia attempts to …

Film Review: The Babysitter: Killer Queen

Film Review: Love, Guaranteed

Note: This is film #81 of my 365 Film Challenge. Rachael Leigh Cook stars in this romantic comedy about a rather earnest small town lawyer who takes on the case of Nick Evans (Damon Wayans Jr), a wealthy man who wants to sue a dating website over their claim to guarantee customers find love. In …

Film Review: Extraction

Note: This is film #79 of my 365 Film Challenge. I remember when this movie came out because it was around the time I realised that cinema trips were pretty much off the table for 2020 and I'd have to rely on Netflix and the other streaming services for movies, and this, an action movie …

Film Review: The Old Guard

Note: This is film #71 of my 365 film challenge Charlize Theron heads up this interesting action flick as one of a gang of immortal mercenaries.

Film Review: Artemis Fowl

Note: This is number 30 of the 365 Film Challenge. Oh, and there are spoilers ahead. Urgh.
