Film Review: Avatar: The Way of Water
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Was there any doubt? I’m pretty sure at this point you’d be a fool to underestimate James Cameron as a filmmaker. The man has defied expectations time and time again to the point where it’s almost superhuman in how he accomplishes his feats. You can’t make a sequel to Alien…

Film Review: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation For some reason, 2022 has been the year of Pinocchio overload. Outside of this widely anticipated version from auteur Guillermo del Toro, there is also another animated version that earlier this year infamously starring Pauly Shore, as well as a live action Disney remake. And with so many famous versions…

Film Review: The Fabelmans
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation If anybody was going to do a biopic on Steven Spielberg, it might as well be the man himself. And that’s pretty much what The Fabelmans is despite all of the names being changed around; this is pretty much as autobiographical as they come, and those in tune with Spielberg’s…

Film Review: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation How do you follow up a cinematic milestone? The simple answer is, usually, you don’t, and leave it at that. Black Panther‘s very existence might be mostly the result a studio hoping to expand their universe with a large array of characters to maximize profit, but director Ryan Coogler and…

Film Review: The Banshees of Inisherin
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation I know it’s going to be weird starting off a review about The Banshees of Inisherin by talking about yet more Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri discourse, but here me out. Three Billboards, admittedly, is the rare movie that has soured for me over time. I still quite like it…

Film Review: Memoria
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation A thud in the night is what startles Jessica, our lead, awake. It’s a loud, sudden burst of noise after a long stretch of silence, and the banging never returns. As Jessica lies awake, waiting for it to happen again and possibly find some kind of source for the bizarre…

Film Review: Broker
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation In terms of cinematic blindspots, Hirokazu Kore-eda has remained one of the biggest in terms of my own personal experience. Outside of general praise from fellow cinephiles and a constant reminder of the strength of his films – particularly when Shoplifters hit several years ago and was widely seen as…

Film Review: Decision to Leave
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Park Chan-wook is one fascinating guy huh? One of South Korea’s most enigmatic talents, it’s not surprising that as Korean cinema has flourish over the past several years, Chan-wook himself has remained something of a cinephile only name. While his contemporaries like Bong Joon-ho and Hwang Dong-hyuk have achieved mainstream…

Film Review: One Piece Film: Red
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation It’s been a long road to get here for One Piece fans. Out of the so-called “Big Three”, One Piece has always been the one that, while having a large cult following in North America, has never been able to reach the same heights in terms of popularity as Naruto…

Film Review: Good Night Oppy
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation When it comes to projects aimed solely to be mostly STEM propaganda aimed at younger audiences, you could honestly not pick a better subject to do it then the Mars rovers. Outside of being one of the more easier to understand concepts about space exploration – as they say in…
