Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 10:00:26 +0000

It’s still got its eye-roll moments, but Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story is popcorn entertainment of a higher order than you might predict. True story.

Trolls Band Together – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 19:25:12 +0000

Trolls fans will lap up Trolls Band Together, of course, but there’s a feeling that a reinvention is needed for a fourth movie.

Cobweb – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 15:26:56 +0000

Cobweb satisfies a very particular horror hunger. If you’re in the mood for something overblown and silly that - somehow - doesn’t lose its capability to thrill, then this is quite the meal.

Expend4bles – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 11:57:02 +0000

Expend4bles feels like it was made with a gun to Sly’s head. It’s not filled with joy and silliness: it’s filled with compromises and the same-old, same-old.

Boudica – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 11:09:48 +0000

Boudica deserves a true movie tribute. Her story is too great not to. When that happens, we will safely file this movie away as an also-ran.

A Haunting in Venice – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 11:55:03 +0000

Where does Poirot go from here? A mediocre box office suggests this might be his last outing. But there’s a tinge of sadness to that: with A Haunting in Venice, it finally felt like Poirot was going somewhere interesting.

Mother, May I? – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 07:58:00 +0000

The best way to enjoy Mother, May I? is to arrive with the correct assumptions. This is not a horror movie. It doesn’t even tickle the hairs on the back of the neck.

Inside – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 17:12:58 +0000

As much as we would like it to be, this is not a film adaptation of the 2016 Playdead video game. Willem Dafoe as the kid from Inside would have been something to see.

Knights of the Zodiac – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 16:33:13 +0000

Talented actors and heightened martial arts stop Knights of the Zodiac from tumbling into the pit marked ‘Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender’.

Saw X – Film Review

Richard Dobson — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 17:58:13 +0000

Saw X feels much less like out and out torture porn and more like a solid horror film.

Joy Ride – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 19:24:53 +0000

Joy Ride really is just as capable at making you feel deeply for its characters as it is making you squirm, laugh or gross out.

Haunting of the Queen Mary – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 14:30:15 +0000

There’s no doubting that Haunting of the Queen Mary is ambitious, trying with all its might to include multiple timelines, subplots and realities in a single indie horror movie.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 09:15:50 +0000

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - possibly the most sweat-inducing of all the M:I films.

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 09:32:09 +0000

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines was, in fact, the straight-to-DVD film we thought it was.

The Boogeyman – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 15:38:16 +0000

Curiously, it’s when The Boogeyman moves into the light that it’s at its best. When it lurks in the dark, it can veer too close to generic.

Vindicta – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 08:12:00 +0000

Vindicta isn’t unutterably bad. It has the decency to chuck in some gruesome deaths and tongue-in-cheek dialogue. But in the attempt to be a modern day Se7en, Vindicta is a two, at best.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem – Film Review

Alister Kennedy — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 15:19:46 +0000

A great animation style, a new take on the turtles and a whole new spin on the mythos is what you get in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Blue Beetle – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 19:05:39 +0000

You will have seen Blue Beetle before. It’s a scrapbook of all the superhero origin movies you’ve seen before.

Haunted Mansion – Film Review

Richard Dobson — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 13:13:01 +0000

Haunted Mansion runs out of steam way before the finale, but a lot of the things leading up to that are worthwhile.

Smoking Causes Coughing – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 12:30:04 +0000

If we had known that Smoking Causes Coughing was a Quentin Dupieux movie before watching it, we would have been less confused.

Sakra – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 10:52:45 +0000

Sakra is a long, two-hour jumble of a martial arts epic, but in that jumble is some wuxia gold.

Sympathy for the Devil – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 14:44:11 +0000

Sympathy for the Devil is a compact thriller that makes best use of the few locations and actors that it’s got. It also makes the incredibly wise choice of hiring Nicolas Cage, dialling him up to 8 on the Cage-o-meter, and just letting him go for 90 minutes.

Fool’s Paradise – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 05:24:00 +0000

We can’t fathom how the screenplay for Fool’s Paradise could have been worked on for decades.

No Hard Feelings – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 18:07:00 +0000

If you’re pining for the days of broad, silly comedies, then No Hard Feelings will feel like a long lost friend.

Meg 2: The Trench – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 13:34:49 +0000

We can’t tell you how confusing it is to see Ben Wheatley’s name on the credits for Meg 2: The Trench.

Children of the Corn (2023) – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 12:46:21 +0000

Children of the Corn (2023) is just about the least horrifying of horror movies that we’ve watched in the past few years.

Paint – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 13:43:45 +0000

Paint has such little respect for its characters that it becomes a hard watch. Catch some Bob Ross reruns instead.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 10:44:00 +0000

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is definitely a better movie than the original non-Energon Transformers saga, but also a less exciting one.
