GNLM, ReviewsJuly 13, 20240Comments

Review by Jan Mangion Yorgos Lanthimos is a movie-making machine at the moment. His last one was not only a major success with audiences but also scored big at the Oscars with four wins. Before the release of his newest movie, he announced Bugonia, his upcoming project starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. The two…

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Review

GNLM, ReviewsJune 14, 20240Comments

Review by Jan Mangion It's Furiosa, not Furiousa! George Miller may be 79 years old but that's not stopping him from making more Mad Max movies. He returns to this universe, nine years after his last entry, Fury Road (2015) to direct Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. A prequel to the sensational Fury Road, this is…

by Kenny Porter (Author), Ricardo Lopez Ortiz (Illustrator), Juan Ferreyra (Illustrator), Jason Howard (Illustrator), Jr. Fajardo, Romulo (Contributor) The inevitable movie tie-in to the The Flash has landed and, while the writing by Kenny Porter is very faithful to synthesising who the character is both on page and screen, the comic in its entirety is…

Venom: Let There Be Carnage review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsNovember 2, 20210Comments

So. This is weird. I did not have ANY expectations whatsoever going into watching the Venom sequel "Let There Be Carnage". And it certainly left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson were a treat to watch as the titular characters, as well as Naomie Harris (of Pirates of the Caribbean…

Godzilla Vs Kong – Film review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsApril 2, 20210Comments

Definitely a step up from Kong: Skull Island (which I truly liked) and Godzilla (so and so), but a step lower from Godzilla: King of Monsters (which I REALLY liked), the movie has a better story than some of its precedents but what stops it short from being excellent is two major things: some things…

Sonic the Hedgehog

Movies, ReviewsMarch 12, 20200Comments

“Give the people what they want”. After the negative response to the first Sonic trailer, it seemed as if Paramount Pictures had learned from their mistake and the new design for the blue hedgehog, we all know and love was unveiled. Gone were the beady eyes and almost-too-real face and the audience was instead treated…

JOKER

Movies, ReviewsNovember 6, 20190Comments

I was very ambivalent as to whether or not to watch Todd Phillips' Joker (2019) at first; I was very initially apprehensive about it being made to begin with, for the simple reason that I find that giving a definite origin to the character - who is not a favorite of mine in the comics…

Avengers: Endgame (2019) is a cathartic experience. It is certainly not as speculator friendly as its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) which I believe stood on its own merits even if one would appreciate it further when having followed the MCU since its inception. The latest, however, does not have this in its favor and…
