Moana (Live Action): Disney Doesn't Respect You
Summary, a film that is barely 10 years old is repackaged to you by Disney as they think you’ll just buy anything. This film is insulting, not in that it’s bad it’s incredibly mediocre, but in how cynical it is. This film was simply made to mine an IP there was no need for it and they didn’t change much about it, it was made as Disney thought kids would just watch anything. Gone are the days of…
The Odyssey: Greece Is A Country In Africa
Summary, a modern audience adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey with renewed female focus. Sadly the Editor demanded that someone cover this film and that fell to me so here we are. The film didn’t look good from the trailers and from the other marketing materials but there is still further to fall. Firstly, not only is Helen of Troy black but also Troy has a black princess. This makes no sense…
Cinema Issues: The Cowardice Of The Odyssey
As many of you may know the new Christopher Nolan film is mere days away from release, yet unlike other Nolan offerings this one is wrapped up in controversy. Whether that is the vandalisation of greek mythology, casting a woman to play a man’s role (Ellen Page), the race swap of Helen of Troy, or possibly having Lupita N’yongo Karensplain female perspective to Homer thousands of years later. The…
Cinema Issues: The Demonisation Of The Nuclear Family
When leaving Olivia Wilde’s latest film the Invite a thought occurred, why is it we have so many films showing the death of love or of families but so few these days showing love and happiness. Could it be the idea that a lot of people in Hollywood are unhappy in their relationships and so reflect that on the big screen perhaps. However, there is also an underlying cynicism that suggests that…
The Invite: A Lonely Woman's Take On Marriage
Summary: an unhappily married couple are swayed into the swinging lifestyle So of course Olivia Wilde a woman who ran out of a relationship to get with a much younger man, is going to tell you being in a long term monogamous relationship makes you unhappy. Of course she is going to fetishize swinging and act like the swinging couple has a great relationship, when in fact it is an unethical…
Cinema Issues: Trouble In The DCU
So with Supergirl crashing out in almost comical style at the box office, what’s next for DC. In the immediate term what’s next is a Green Lanterns show that is so embarrassed of its source material it won’t even call itself Green Lanterns and Clayface a film no one was asking for. However in terms of what’s next as a broader more heady topic the idea is likely a movie back towards the hardcore…
Minions and Monsters: The True Story Behind Hollywood's Golden Age
Summary: a minion with a dream sets out to make it big. In many ways this film is good, it is funny, has heart and does a lot to show the good that can come from chasing your dreams. The monsters have their moments though it may have been more fun to have had the Minions go through a parade of different big bosses only to mess up and have to move on. Part of where the film struggles is that it…
Invincible Season 4 Overview: March To War
Summary, it’s finally here the big war for the Galaxy. Season 3 spent a lot of time teasing this and season 4 was supposed to be where they delivered. Whilst hopes were for perhaps a full season of war action, we got plot lines about Debbie and her boyfriend moving in together, Eve’s abortion and a long subplot about Mark being sad he killed someone. Can you say filler. The war stuff we got was…
From Season 4 Overview: Slowing Down
Summary: The Man In Yellow now living amongst the residents causes chaos as things escalate. The issue with this season are two fold, firstly as has been documented in other seasons there was a lot of filler. Secondly, the stakes just weren’t that high the finale didn’t see any major character deaths and it just felt a bit disappointing. In terms of the search for answers and events advancing…
Jackass Best And Last: Getting Tired
Summary: The Jackass crew get together one last time for a few more stunts. Whilst being a fan of Jackass for the entirety of the time it’s being around and watching the series as a child as it aired, on the opposite side of the US to me,there is a certain sense of morbidity to watching this. Whilst most of the cast are still there, you can feel the time creeping up to everyone involved. There…
Enola Holmes 3: The Filler/Botox Queen Returns
Summary: Because Sherlock Holmes is a silly man rather than a genius detective he goes missing and it’s down to Enola to find him. Right from the off you have the cheapening of male characters to try and raise up the female ones. Moriarty Sherlock’s legendary foe doesn’t even care about Sherlock the whole point of capturing him was to lure out Enola. They couldn’t have given her, her own nemesis…
The Last Viking: John Lennon Lives Again
Summary: a man fresh out of prison needs the help of his mentally unwell brother in order to help him find money he buried long ago. It was during our time at the Mediterrane Film Festival that we saw this and, it was a deeply mixed film. One the one hand it was heart warming in places and had a number of funny jokes, the comedy mostly landed. However, on the other the central character is…
Clarkson's Farm Season 5: Bittersweet
Summary: Jeremy and co are back to show you the highs and lows of farming. This was a surprisingly emotional season of what is normally easy comfort viewing, from the TB stuff to the news of Jeremy Clarkson’s continued ill health the last few episodes of the season pack a hell of a gut punch. However, the season as a whole isn’t depressing even in moments of deep distress there is still a joke…
The Boroughs Season Overview: Old Person Stranger Things
Summary: the Duffers let someone else take over Chat GPT prompts and make something derivative of Stranger Things/ So this is Stranger Things for octogenarians, a group of misfit old people team up to fight aliens, sound familiar, it should, simply remove the world old and it’s the same thing as Stranger Things. The only difference being the monsters in Stranger Things come from another…
Maul Shadow Lord Season Overview: The Right Direction For Star Wars?
Summary: Darth Maul continues his gangland story set under the reign of the Empire. If you enjoyed Clone Wars and Rebels you will likely enjoy this, we did for the most part. It is nice to see Star Wars be dark and gritty and the gangland focus was a great way to do that. The action in the series hit where it needs to and seeing the fights with the inquisitors was cool. The only issue with this…
Lesbian Space Princess: Yawn Haven't We Been Here Before
Summary: Making one aspect of who you are your entire personality. So in an era where we should all be supporting independent animation, this film makes that hard to do so. Firstly, there is nothing fresh about it, this film seems to act like having a lesbian front and centre is some sort of new novel idea, when it has been done for a long time and is no longer new. Believe us when we tell you…
Cinema Issues: Gender, Sexuality and Modern Pixar
For anyone watching Toy Story 5 it becomes clear from the off that there is something insidious under the surface. This is the entire subversion of gender roles. Now this has been explained away by staff as “how little girls play” however this was clearly a deliberate creative choice. Kenna Harris even admitted there were other versions of the play sequences yet they went with the ones they…
