Space Cadet: Review

Space Cadet is dull with irritating characters that offer no comedic value or anything enjoyable to keep you focused or laugh. It is trying hard to be a movie reminiscent of typical 2000s movie tropes but lacks any charm of coherent plot to keep you going.

Five Blind Dates: Review

Five Blind Dates fails to be both romantic and comedic. Despite a good performance from Shuang Hu there is nothing else that provides anything interesting. Overall, it is dull with tried and tested stereotypes that still fall flat.

The Taste of Things: Review

The Taste of Things is a romantic film set in 1885 France, focusing on the bond between cook Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) and her gastronome boss, Dodin (Benoît Magimel). The film explores the appreciation for beauty and the complex love story between the two. The film explores the culinary skills of Eugénie and Dodin, as well as their relationship, which is tested by Dodin's desire for more and Eugénie's desire for independence. The film is more than just a food movie; it showcases the love language of food, with endearing performances from Juliet Binoche and Benoît Magimel.

Mean Girls The Musical: Review

Mean Girls: The Musical had the potential to be a hit, but this adaptation of the original 2004 movie fails to find a secure audience. Relying on the nostalgia and fans of the classic movie, this version feels like it's catered more towards the younger tik tok generation. From questionable costume choices of The Plastics to the odd way of shooting and overuse of autotune, Mean Girls: The Musical left us wanting to like this movie a lot more than we did.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes: Review

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes expands the world of Panem and offers us a grittier, ruthless world than the original movies had. The areas are smaller, but the characters are bigger. Tom Blyth is exceptional as Coriolanus Snow and gives a layered performance. The world of Panem feels darker in this installment of The Hunger Games, more chaotic with escalated violence, and more focused on the Capitol to show their callous nature and how they hunger for violence as entertainment. Snow sees the world as an arena for the Hunger Games, and he will ensure he is the victor, unafraid of killing his closest companions to ensure Snow lands on top.

Spy Kids: Armageddon

Spy Kids is normally a fun adventure, but Armageddon is a lazy copy with a lack of imagination that forgoes any character relationships, interesting gadgets and scenery for outdated CGI and shoehorned messages about doing the right thing. Is it entertaining? No, it’s lazy.

Red, White and Royal Blue Review

The movie beautifully captures the chemistry between the main characters, Alex and Henry, and portrays their journey of self-discovery and acceptance in an authentic and touching manner. Though there are some issues in terms of the writing and pacing, the chemistry and effortless banter between Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine make the movie worth watching.

The Flash (2023) Review

The Flash is saved from unwatchable to passable thanks to the supporting cast, notably Keaton’s Batman and Calle’s Supergirl. Issues arise with the plot and technical aspects of the movie, but there are enough surprises to make The Flash a decent movie, but not enough for a rewatch.
