Godzilla: King of the Monsters was my most anticipated movie of the year. Sure, Avengers: Endgame promised the climax of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was a storyline 22 movies in the making. You know what it didn’t have, though? Godzilla. We’re not even going to talk about ...
The Secret Life of Pets 2 kind of feels like a really good episode of Saturday Night Live, resembling a series of barely connected skits and sketches that are sometimes funny, sometimes not, but weirdly entrancing, nevertheless. Sprinkle in some life lessons, a couple of cute animals and three ...
The John Wick series has always been a pleasant surprise to me. Keanu Reeves pretty much fell to the wayside after the Matrix films, so to have him resurface in a small-time action movie about a man getting revenge for his fallen puppy… that was a pretty far-out concept ...
Let me open by saying that Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is 100% the best Pokémon movie ever made. Does that mean it’s the best movie ever? No way. As far as purely objective quality goes, this turned out to be a pretty good time at the cinema, but nothing mind ...
I have very little experience with Ultraman, if I’m being honest. The most I can remember is from watching episodes and movies on the kid’s channel a decade ago. Cut to today and I’m watching Ultraman on Netflix, in an anime adaptation of a manga meant as a generational ...

Maybe videogames just shouldn’t be made into movies. One would think filmmakers would have learned that by now, but here we are at the umpteenth half-baked film adaptation of a videogame. This horror flick has its moments, certainly, but they are few and far between, buried under hammy acting ...
Hellboy has a lot to prove. It’s releasing in a time densely packed with big blockbusters such as Shazam!, Avengers: Endgame, John Wick 3 and even Detective Pikachu. One might think this movie is doomed to be buried under such heavy hitters, but I believe Hellboy is an interesting ...
The Mad Titan might soon find himself stomping around in the unlikeliest of place. The world of Fortnite. This little bit of news comes just in time with Avengers: Endgame just right around the corner. We know this from the recent leaks of data miners which revealed a very ...
Like Hugo Weaving’s Thaddeus Valentine, a manic rush to the finish sees Mortal Engines sputtering and spewing long before it has the chance to shine. Adapted from Philip Reeve’s similarly-titled novel, Peter Jackson’s 128-minute adventure lays plenty of gorgeous hooks to reel viewers in, especially the geeky among us. ...
