Bandersnatch Review – An Ambitious And Engaging Thriller (Rating: 8/10)

Though I never had any doubt that I’d end up checking it out, I did have some doubts about the hype around the ‘choose your own adventure’ structure of Bandersnatch. Not because it sounded like a gimmick, but because I had already played series like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us by Telltale Games, who used a similar idea to great effect several years ago.

Bird Box Review – Confusing And Messy, Yet I Kept Watching (Rating: 5/10)

While I was looking for the featured image for this review, I kept coming across news articles about how Bird Box has been ‘Netflix’s Biggest Hit Yet!’, bringing in over 45 million accounts, and subsequently even more viewers.

So instead, here are my three lists that each contain several films I have strong feelings towards; in other words, the good, the bad, … Continue reading The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of 2018

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Review – The Definitive Spider-Man Story (Rating: 10/10)

I think everyone at this point agrees that the Spider-Man franchise is not one that requires another reboot anytime soon. With four actors now having played the character since the turn of the millennium, it’s fascinating to me that audiences haven’t been hit with intense Spider-Man fatigue, with many reviewers still claiming that the friendly neighborhood superpowered teen is their favourite hero by far. What’s … Continue reading Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Review – The Definitive Spider-Man Story (Rating: 10/10)
