Time Cut- Film Review
“Where it has its most fun is relishing in the 2003 setting, slamming you incessantly with bops and the eccentric fashion style of the era. Juicy Couture tracksuit sets and Alanis Morissette are the films bread and butter as it does everything in its power to insist that the early 2000s is worthy of a time travel flick.”
Adam gives some rather scathing feedback on Netflix’s newest, churned out film.

Ireland as a Country with its Mouth Sewn Shut- Small Things Like These Review

“Though his striking looks shield him from his inner turmoil as a meek, lonely loser, the film dissects the deeper meaning of ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. It explores what it means to be attractive, how we perceive beauty, and what it signifies to be beautiful both inside and out.”

The audience is instead met with a drab love story between the Chevalier and the quaint singer, Marie-Josephine de Montalembert.”

How to Continue a Franchise- Alien: Romulus Review
“Alien: Romulus is rife with hints and clear indicators of where the story is going but as a fan of the films, I found that these were not met with sighs from over predictability, instead they drew out excitement for where I knew the film was going to go.”

A Return to Adventure- Riddle Of Fire Review
“The kids are bad-mouthed and snarky, many of the adults have a childlike dopiness. It makes for an equal playing field when the kids inevitably try get their own back on the so-called “woodsy bastards” for wronging the Three Immortal Reptiles.”
