I think it’s fair to say that if you’re a fan of the Harry Potter movies, and even the last Fantastic Beasts movie, then you’re going to love this one too. And you’re going to completely disagree with me when I say that this one is just unbelievably dull. I really did want to enjoy […]

I’ve only seen two out of the four movies in the Purge series, so haven’t quite yet reached the levels of Purge fatigue that others may be experiencing by now. Recently I watched ‘The First Purge‘ and while it was enjoyable enough, overall it was pretty average and instantly forgettable. So, if I’m honest, I

Assassination Nation really, REALLY wants to shock you. At the start, it even gives out a warning, listing out all the offensive and shocking things coming up, along with a very quick clip of them all. That’s how cool and edgy it thinks it is. It’s all parties and social media, girls are all bitchy,

I hadn’t heard of I Kill Giants until I stumbled across it on Netflix. After a brief bit of research, watching the trailer and discovering it’s based on a graphic novel, I decided to give it a go. The story is about Barbara, a young teen living with her older sister and brother. Barbara doesn’t

Bohemian Rhapsody stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, charting his life from working as a baggage handler at Heathrow airport to becoming a global superstar and blowing the crowds away at Live Aid. I’ve seen criticism that the movie skims over the darker side of Freddie’s life but I thought this did enough to portray

Despite having 90% less Jack Black (in physical form, he still provides the voice for ventriloquist dummy Slappy), and a complete change of cast, I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the first movie. Better paced, with a more fun cast, Goosebumps 2 takes its time relishing in the creepiness that is Slappy, the

Believe it or not, until a few days ago I had never seen a Halloween movie! I watch a lot of films, and love modern horror, but I’m ashamed to say that there are a lot of classic movies I’m yet to catch up on. As I was keen to watch this latest offering in

I’m not familiar with the book that this Netflix show is based on, but then from what I understand this is meant to be more a ‘remix’ of the book anyway. All I can say though is, faithful to the book or not, this is without a doubt one of the most incredibly brilliant shows

The El Royale is a bi-state establishment. A painted red line runs straight through the centre of the car park and right through the centre of reception, leading to a jukebox. One half of this hotel lies in Nevada, the other half in California. The rooms on the California side are a little more expensive

From robotic teachers and police, right the way down to the smaller, task orientated robots. Friendly robot hairbrushes leap on kids heads and start brushing their messy hair while robot toothbrushes, programmed by mum to ensure their
Last night I took Mrs B along to see A Star Is Born, much anticipated and much hyped over recent weeks. And to say we came away disappointed is a bit of an understatement. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are both amazing, particularly in the early parts of the movie as we are introduced to

The run up to seeing Venom has followed what seems to be a bit of a growing trend for me recently – tickets go on sale for a movie that I’m very excited to see and despite the slightly average trailers, I grab a ticket and hope for the best. Then in the days beforehand,
