The original 1978, John Carpenter directed 'Halloween' is probably my favourite horror film of all time. It is the yearly Halloween tradition that I have yet to break and never plan to. The iconic piano and synth, suburban flair and excess usage of pumpkins. The embodiment of evil personified as Michael Myers, a person in … Continue reading ‘Halloween Ends’ Is The Iconic, Campy and Unconventional Finale That I Loved To Bits.
I can already see the mob of bigots coming for me after reading the title of this review but I have to say it, after the exhausting rollercoaster that is Phase 4 of the MCU, it felt particularly nice to have a show that I could count on every week to make me laugh and … Continue reading ‘She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’ Is Top Tier MCU Content, DEAL WITH IT!
I always say there should be more spooky episodes and specials and it's insane that the MCU has done it before some of our favourite shows have. With Phase 4 exploring some of the darker elements of the multiverse with characters like the Scarlet Witch, Moon Knight and Daredevil (technically), the addition of Werewolf By … Continue reading ‘Werewolf By Night’… A Very Short and Disappointing Rant.
If 2022 has done anything for movies, it's that it brought back original blockbusters with a vengeance, I mentioned this in so many of my reviews this year but it's also worth noting how blockbusters with mainly people of colour have been so successful this year. From 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' being the highest-grossing … Continue reading ‘The Woman King’: A Moving, Hard-Hitting Epic.
They don't make them like they used to, Halloween movies I mean. Not horror movies or thrillers, I mean movies centred around Halloween. Of course, we have the affairs of Jamie Lee Curtis going head to head with Michael Myers but it's not really a family-friendly event is it? As a child who grew up … Continue reading ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ Is Pure, Old-Fashioned Halloween Mischief.
'Don't Worry Darling' is a movie I was excited to see long before the drama-fueled narrative around it. The follow-up to the 2019 hit 'Booksmart' from Olivia Wilde being this mystery thriller starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles? There was no way on Earth I wasn't going to watch this movie. When the promotional campaign … Continue reading ‘Don’t Worry Darling’: A Half-Baked Sprint To An Unsatisfying Finish Line.
They did it again, goddamnit. I swore I wouldn't watch the second season but here I am, seven episodes later talking about 'Fate: The Winx Saga' yet again. I mean I grew up with the original show, I love and adore those characters and the rich world Iginio Straffi created. I couldn't help but give … Continue reading ‘Fate: The Winx Saga’ Season 2 As Reviewed By a ‘Winx Club’ Fan.
A24's horror reign in 2022 has been one of the few pleasant surprises this year has to offer. From the newfound Ti West trilogy surrounding the movie 'X' with the prequel 'Pearl' out now in theatres and the sequel 'MaXXXine' in theatres sometime in the near future to even new and original stories in movies … Continue reading ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’… I Didn’t Get It The First Time But I Get It Now!
Contrary to what some fans of 'My Hero Academia' feel, I actually very much enjoyed Season 5, especially the 'Endeavour's Agency' arc! I loved seeing Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki grow as heroes and develop as characters, especially Shouto. I was ecstatic when I heard that a surprise third movie was coming out and set during … Continue reading My Hero Academia SPOILERS // World Heroes’ Mission Movie & Departure OVA.
