SQUID GAME SEASON TWO & THREE

This will be brief, but not sweet. Season two and three of this show are unnecessary. The first season captivated viewers with its original concept, polished production, and stylised set design. In contrast these follow-ups feel like a rehash of the original, featuring the same main character and replaying the same game with minor format […]

28 YEARS LATER

Danny Boyle is back at the directing helm, nearly three decades since the rage virus infected most of Britain. Twelve-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams) lives on an isolated gated island with his parents, Isla and Jamie (Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Jamie takes him to the quarantined mainland to practice kil*ing zombies – creatures that have […]

FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK – BALLERINA

Ballerina by name but not by nature. Ana de Armas is Eve Macarro, an assassin seeming vengeance for her father’s death a decade earlier. That’s where the linear, simple plot begins and ends. I could pick a few holes in the story and acting but where this film excels is the non-stop action. Armas k*icks […]
