'Nine Days' Review - Profound Themes But it's Too Pretentious

'Beckett' Review - Hitchcock Would be Turning in His Grave

By Hector A. Gonzalez
17/08/21

Beckett starts quickly with thrills and a pulsing score, but as the mystery begins to unravel, it ends up being yet another thriller that copies Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959).

'Free Guy' Review - Ryan Reynolds' Schtick is Becoming Tiresome

By Hector A. Gonzalez
16/08/21

Free Guy uses a quippy concept of an open-world multiplayer video game combined with The Truman Show (1998) to try and deliver a witty and entertaining popcorn flick. Its charm fades away quickly, and it drags a lot in its second half; at least Jodie Comer is there to lift its low moments.

'Blood Red Sky' Review - Lacklustre Vampire Movie in the Sky

By Hector A. Gonzalez
26/07/21

Netflix’s Blood Red Sky features an interesting take on the classic plane hijacking thriller by adding a vampire element but unfortunately loses itself by the end.

'Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins' Review - An Uninspired Reboot

By Hector A. Gonzalez
24/07/21

Is it hard to believe that another G.I. Joe movie is terrible? Snake Eyes is an uninteresting, dull, and plodding origin story that fails to revive the franchise.

Reviews

'Space Jam: A New Legacy' Review - Cringey Reboot is No Fun

By Hector A. Gonzalez
16/07/21

Space Jam: A New Legacy is yet another sequel that nobody asked for, a harmless mess with meta-references and cameos by the boatload while outdoing itself in cringe and camp without any wit.

Reviews

'Black Widow' Review - Too Little Too Late for Fan-Favourite Superhero

By Hector A. Gonzalez
12/07/21

The first film of the MCU’s fourth phase, Cate Shortland’s Black Widow, is an entertaining spy flick with a talented cast though it feels too-little-too-late.

Reviews

'False Positive' Review - A Horror Film Devoid of Horror

By Hector A. Gonzalez
05/07/21

With a loose narrative, lack of suspense or scares, and an untidy script, False Positive ends up being an uninteresting thriller.

Action Blockbuster 'Fast & Furious 9' is as Dumb as Ever - Review

By Hector A. Gonzalez
28/06/21

Vin Diesel and the “fast” gang are back with the ninth instalment of the ridiculous and physics-breaking action franchise, Fast & Furious 9, which again begs the question: Why do we have another one? And the answer is money, of course.

Reviews

'The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard' Review - An Unwarranted Sequel

By Hector A. Gonzalez
25/06/21

Accompanied by a long title with multiple apostrophes, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is a sequel to the 2017 action escapade that nobody asked for; it is a quickly paced, self-aware mess.

Reviews

'Infinite' Review - Mark Wahlberg Can't Save this Disasterpiece

By Hector A. Gonzalez
21/06/21

As people know, a big budget and a talented cast do not always make for a good film. Such is the case with Infinite, which has no sense of direction, clear story, or positive aspects.

'In the Heights' Review - Broadway Musical Doesn't Adapt Well to Screen

By Hector A. Gonzalez
12/06/21

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning stage play, In the Heights, is adapted to the big screen to bring that summer blockbuster feeling. Unfortunately, charm, glitz, and glamour are not enough to lighten up this much anticipated musical.

Reviews

'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' Review - A Generic Series Entry

By Hector A. Gonzalez
07/06/21

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It expands the successful horror movie universe, and although it is better than the two most recent entries, it is still disappointing and lacking.

Reviews

'Cruella' Review - Disney Villainess is Worthy of Her Own Origin Film

By Hector A. Gonzalez
29/05/21

Disney continues their live-action adaptations, this time for the better, with a prequel about the famous villainess from 101 Dalmatians (1961), Cruella.

'About Endlessness' Review - An Artful, Unique Viewing Experience

By Hector A. Gonzalez
28/05/21

Roy Andersson comes back to the silhouette vignette style of filmmaking on his new and potentially final film, About Endlessness.

Reviews

'The Woman in the Window' Review - Amazing Cast, Horrible Movie

By Hector A. Gonzalez
21/05/21

If you thought that a tremendous all-star cast, a talented director in Joe Wright and engaging source material would make The Woman in the Window an exciting film, you thought wrong. After multiple delays, test screenings, and some reshoots, Netflix’s new thriller fails to deliver any amusement.

'The Killing of Two Lovers' Review - A Tense Indie Relationship Drama

By Hector A. Gonzalez
18/05/21

The Killing of Two Lovers is a carefully crafted slow-burn character study that uses the familiar topic of a frail relationship as a vehicle to explore hard emotions in a realistic way.
