Film Review: The Flash
By Matthew Moorcroft Screw This When I was a kid, there were three superheroes that I really connected to instantly. Spider-Man, Batman, and The Flash. The former two were mainly through movies; Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Tim Burton’s Batman being some of my earliest memories of watching, and falling in love with, movies. But it…

Film Review: Elemental
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Pixar has had it rough the past couple of years haven’t they? Not necessarily entirely their fault though – there was a global pandemic that happened and moreso then any other genre family animation got crippled. And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time for the company, who were…

Film Review: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation In 1996, Beast Wars: Transformers hit television screens to divisive reception from old school fans and mostly non-existent critical attention.

Film Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Comics don’t have endings. One of the unfournate truths about getting into superhero stories is that many of them are static on purpose.

Film Review: John Wick: Chapter 4
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation When we catch up with John Wick at the start of his fourth chapter, it’s the first time in the series that there is a clear jump ahead in time.

Film Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation D&D is in such a strange position in pop culture at the moment. Even beyond it’s current controversies involving Hasbro and their treatment of third party OGL, the franchise at large is sitting at the verge of mainstream recognition and popularity but just isn’t quite there yet. With the success…

Film Review: Cocaine Bear
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation The only question that is going through your mind when asking yourself “should I see Cocaine Bear” is whether or not like the words “cocaine” and “bear” in the same sentence. If so, then honestly, you don’t really need this review cause you are probably interested and seeing it anyways.…
