A frustrating mess of a movie that never figures out what it wants to be or who it’s for. The story is paper‑thin and strangely unfocused, drifting from one generic fight scene to the next without any real emotional weight or clear narrative purpose. For a supposed origin film, it does a poor job making Kara Zor‑El feel compelling, coherent, or even particularly likable. Milly Alcock’s take on Supergirl is part of the problem. Instead of giving us a hero with depth or charisma, the film leans into a moody, often inebriated drifter who spends more time sulking in space dive bars and cleaning…

I started watching this without realizing it's an Uwe Boll film until opening credits began to roll. For better or worse, I've watched a bunch of Uwe Boll movies over the years and they were all extremely bad, but - this is a new low. Garbage hate-ad made by a thin skinned evil manbaby Uwe Boll, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole movie was financed by extreme right wing organization/s or it's a psyop sponsored by some oppressive dicatorship, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he financed it himself. Plot is basically this - rich american landlord (ex military) with daddy issues that co…

“The Breadwinner” with Nate Bargatze is a genuinely delightful, laugh‑out‑loud family comedy that feels like a modern, cleaner heir to classics like “Mr. Mom,” anchored by Bargatze’s dry, self‑deprecating charm and a surprisingly heartfelt story about marriage, parenting, and identity. It’s the rare PG movie that parents, kids, and even comedy snobs can watch together without anyone feeling talked down to—or needing to dive for the remote. Tone and Humor Bargatze brings his trademark clean, relatable stand‑up style to the screen, and it translates beautifully. The jokes are rooted in real‑…

A masterpiece of struggle with diplomation. A compromise against an unjust and unsightly ruler. Such a pure inspirational and tragic series…

Whilst by no means a great film, "Citizen Vigilante's" message could arguably be said to be overdue. In spite of Western globalist governments'authoritarian refusal to accept there is a problem with their open-door immigration policies and two-tier justice systems, there's also a growing refusal amongst native populations in Europe and elsewhere to accept the claim that their societies are naturally "diverse" and "monoculturalism" a lie. This film, which I glanced at, to be honest, is something of an action potboiler with plot holes aplenty. That said, it does still raise wholly valid poin…

Even though there is a pretty clear and potent message here, this isn't my favourite from the franchise - in fact, in many ways it reminded me of what I felt was the much more engaging "Ron's Gone Wrong" (2021). "Bonnie" is a lonely little girl who still plays with her toys. This earns her the ridicule of her more tech-savvy classmates at school and so, despondent, her parents buy her a "Lilypad". This promises to be her route to inclusion and popularity and soon she is even being invited to a sleepover. She takes "Jessie" and "Blaze" with her and next day returns crestfallen, realising that h…

"Kara" (Milly Alcock) is an unfulfilled soul who revels in a bottle and a battle in equal measure - despite the more restraining attempts at influence from her more famously caped cousin (David Corenswet). That explains why she isn't so very interested in getting involved with "Ruthye" (Eve Ridley) who is on a quest to avenge her murdered family at the hands of the mighty "Krem" (Matthias Schoenaerts). It seems, though, that try as she might she can't shake off this pesky brat and after an altercation of her own with this man as he pinches her spaceship and puts a dart into her beloved pooch "…

**Score: 10/10 A Fire-Breathing Masterpiece That Has Finally Found Its Wings** *House of the Dragon* has always been a show of immense ambition and staggering production value, but it was not without its struggles. Season 1 laid the foundation with political intrigue and family tragedy, while Season 2 was criticised for its slower pace and talk-heavy approach, leaving fans hungry for the all-out war they had been promised. Now, with the arrival of Season 3, the show has not just improved it has ascended to a perfect 10/10, fulfilling its immense potential and finally earning its place alo…

"Xiaowei" (Runqi Zheng) is convinced that his grandfather was a very wealthy man who made a considerable fortune in Thailand, and so armed with what he hopes is an address he has surreptitiously gleaned from one of grandmother's old letters he sets off to introduce himself - and hopefully get an early inheritance to pay off his not insubstantial debts. What he finds upon arrival, though, isn't quite what he expected. Sure, there are plenty of schools named after "Bak-seng" (Zheng Musheng) but nobody seems to have any recollection of the man himself. Then he discovers that there was a man nickn…

If you're British (or Japanese) you might remember Clive James used to showcase a television series called "Endurance" where folks underwent ostensibly painful stunts for the amusement of the audience. That was funny when I was a teenager and it was the 1980s. Now, almost fifty years later, this sort of frankly quite puerile humour just doesn't work for me as a collection of enthusiastic fifty-something's try to flog this very dead horse. Indeed, if they thought that would have got a laugh they would probably have used a real horse but instead they use a series of carefully staged faux-slapsti…
