  After the huge hit that was Talk To Me which released back in 2022 Directors and real life twins Danny and Michael Philippou are back this time with a deeply disturbing and un relenting horror masterclass. The story follows a brother and sister who after the death of their father are placed into a foster home with a seemingly perfect host played by Sally Hawkins. It's not long however before it comes clear that all is not as it seems and there is something truly demonic and ritual like going on. Bring Her Back is vastly different to Talk To Me in how it handles it's message of grief and how that can mold, shape and change a person. Sally Hawkins is incredible in her role and is easily the stand out here with a performance that is so emotional you can feel her pain and anguish.  There's blood and gore a-plenty which is to be expected given the Director's past in their Youtube videos which were gore and practical effects in a bundence. Here it feels so grotestque and da...

  The first family has finally arrived in the MCU. After two FOX sequels and a really terrible attempt at trying to resurrect the IP a decade ago it is now finally the arrival of a Fantastic Four movie worthy of the iconic group of astronaughts / heroes who captured the hearts of millions and millions of people. We all know the heroes involved with the Fantastic Four right?? Mr Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Thing and The Human Torch. All connected and really shining like one big family it's Marvel's first true family orintated story and it really works on pretty much all levels. Not only are the cast fantastic (pun intended) but the visuals and overall humour also all culminatin in what is easily the best MCU movie since Deadpool & Wolverine.  Galactus. It's a word and presence that totally engulfs the cosmos. And the entity is now coming to Earth to consume it to feed his seemingly never ending hunger. It's all setup when the Silver Surfer arrives on Earth he...

  I was never a big fan of the original I Know What You Did Last Summer if I'm being honest. In terms of slasher movies it was a ways down the list paling in comparison to let's say Scream. With that being said it's not almost 30 years later and the Fisherman gets a reboot / sequel hybrid that tells a very similar story with legacy characters peppered in for good measure. If you've seen the original you know the story here, a group of friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident on July 4th. They flee the scene after calling the police and paramedics leaving beind a grisly scene. A year passes and so begins a wave of violence and tragedy as each friend is stalked and picked off one by one.  I always feel that characters are the most important part of a movie like this. A slasher needs likable characters you want to root for to survive and well this movie may have some of the worst characters I've ever seen. All really terrible people full of cringey dialogue an...

  And so it begins a new chapter for DC on the big screen. And what better way to kick it all off than with the most iconic superhero of all time Superman. Written and Directed by James Gunn this is not just tonally a James Gunn picture right down to the tiniest detail it is also that in terms of him having a superpower of his own in the ability to handle so many characters at one time. So where to start?? well that's with the new Superman / Clark Kent. A relatively unknown actor named David Corensweat who had been in such things as Pearl and last years excellent Twister movie. He is good as Big Blue but there's just something missing here, he really shines as Superman with a fantastic understanding of the characters morales and what he truly stands for but when he is Clark Kent it just doesn't work and the same can be said for Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane who I just really did enjoy pretty much at all. Her performance was pretty by the numbers which is a shame as I relly ...

  Back in 2022 M3GAN released and instantly became a huge pop culture phenomenon. The original movie which was a Child's Play like horror instant hit was really well done and I did enjoy it quite a ton. Fast forward three years and it's sequel which is perfectly titled M3GAN 2.0 has arrived and not only is it underwhelming it is a complete tonal shift going from a horror to a full blown action conspiracy thriller. And boy oh boy does it not really work here. The story picks up some time after the original movie. Gemma who was the original creator of M3GAN somehow avoided jail time for her involvement in what was a murderous rampage by the AI doll all to protect her niece Katie. Now Gemma has become a anti AI activist. Unknown to her however a defense contractor has created a military grade weapon known as Amelia.  Right off the bat the overall feeling of this movie feels so different to it's original counterpart. It's a lot more comedy and action heavy with minimal horr...

  Formula One isn't exactly one of my favorite sports by any means. The thought of racing expensive cars threw a bucket list world locations never really appealed to me so when I first saw the trailer for F1 The Movie I was skeptical to say the least. Well now I've seen it and not only is the movie a proper summer blockbuster but it was easily one of the most thrilling, satisfying and overall brilliant movies of the year so far. Brad Pitt stars as a racing driver named Sonny Hayes who at one point was F1's biggest prospect. His life got turned upside down and inside out when he was involved in a life altering crash on the track. 30 years go by and Sonny now a freelance driver gets recruited into a struggling F1 team by an old friend who is played by Javier Bardem, so  will Sonny join up?? Brad Pitt is excellent here as Sonny Hayes a gritty no nonsense driver who likes to drive hard and not play by the book. Once he joins up with this struggling F1 team his goal is to help t...
