Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ was one of the first films I ever watched, though I can't conclusively confirm it. It might have been after watching something more child-friendly like ‘The Lion King' and ‘Finding Nemo', but I don't believe either (or

Tron: Ares - Film Review Friday
Ever since I first watched ‘Tron: Legacy’ as a child, I’ve dreamt of seeing the battle between programs and users outside of the Grid. After 15 years, the dream has been realised in ‘Ares’. My hopes were high after watching the first teaser trailer, seeing the lightcycles in a

The Smashing Machine - Film Review Friday
I haven't seen many Dwayne Johnson films, mostly because he feels like a two-note actor to me. He's either an unstoppable, action hero or a suave but slightly naive comedy character. The one film that really turned me off his filmography was ‘Black Adam', not

Dirty Work - Film Review Friday
Once in a while, I do a YouTube binge on a particular figure. I find it happens spontaneously; one night I just feel like delving into an artist’s work and sometimes it won’t even matter whether I’m a fan (that’s certainly the case for Andy Dick)
