NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: SECRET OF THE TOMB (2014) REVIEW

A run of the mill adventure flick that if nothing else will make the kids happy.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (2016) REVIEW

 The only reason I gave this film 3 stars is because I like this movie even if it is a bit of a high rating I'm just a sucker for a superhero flick good or bad. Now this film wanted to and tried HARD to be the X-Men franchises Infinity War / Endgame but it ends up feeling like a cheap imitation. I thought that the main villain was never any real threat. He was supposed to be on par with Thanos, Galactus and others but it was like he carried no real weight. All in all I did enjoy this film but you may or may not depending on how familiar you are with source material, not the worst I've ever seen but it's not great either.

3 out of 5 STARS.

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) REVIEW

 A fun popcorn film, the sections based around the world trade centre haven't particularly aged well but that's not the films fault. Absolutely loved the ending, definitely recommend you watch this movie.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

SEVERANCE (2006) REVIEW

If you're looking for a well made and genuinely funny horror comedy than look no further, give this film a shot!

3.5 out of 5 STARS. 

BORAT (2006) REVIEW

 Wasn't as funny as I remembered it being 15 years ago when I was younger, but it still got a fair few laughs out of me.

3 out of 5 STARS.

A MOST VIOLENT YEAR (2014) REVIEW

 

I was introduced to the work of Oscar Isaac when I saw this movie for the first time a few years ago. Upon rewatching it I found that even though Isaacs offers a great performance, this film is a very slow slog to sit through. It definitely won't be everybody's cup of tea and it wasn't mine but go see it and decide that for yourself.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID (1982) REVIEW

 A witty and charming love letter to the golden age of Hollywood. Carlos was my favorite supporting character, he was hilarious.
