The Karate Kid is a beloved franchise that has spanned many forms of media. The sixth entry in this four-decades-long franchise acts as a legacy sequel to the original trilogy and the 2010 remake. Li Fong (Ben Wang) is a martial arts prodigy and Mr. Han’s (Jackie Chan) nephew. Li is forced to move to […]
A Simple Favour/Another Simple Favour Review
A Simple Favour begins by dropping you into your typical suburban hellscape of school runs, bitchy parents with too much time on their hands, and social media. Smack dab right in the middle of all this is Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick), the super mum. Or the super annoying mum, depending on who you ask. When […]
Stick – Season One Review
If you’ve been lamenting that AppleTV+ doesn’t currently have a new comedy centered around a middle aged straight white man who refuses to deal with a personal trauma and instead tries to go out of his way to help those around him at the expense of his own mental health that stars a beloved (or […]
Sister Midnight Review
I was fortunate enough to catch the New England premier of Sister Midnight at the Boston Underground Film Festival back in March, where I listed it as one of the best features of the festival. A huge benefit of catching an early screening is knowing nothing about the film beyond the title until the lights […]
Fountain of Youth Review
A team of treasure hunters searching for the Fountain of Youth discover clues to its location in a series of famous paintings. Trouble is, they’re all squirrelled away in museums and private collections, or simply lost to time. All of which makes getting hold of them more than a little challenging, and it’s not long […]
Doctor Who – The Reality War Review
If I thought last week’s penultimate episode of Doctor Who was overstuffed, well, things certainly got even more packed full of plot in this week’s season (and potentially series) finale. From dispatching the Rani (one of whom made it out alive and is still gallivanting around the galaxy to trouble The Doctor at some future […]
Lilo & Stitch (2025) Review
Lilo & Stitch is the second remake of a Disney animated classic to be released in 2025. This film brings to life everyone’s favourite chaos-loving alien. Experiment 626 (Chris Sanders) is a genetically engineered creature designed to be the ultimate weapon. When he evades United Galactic Federation custody, he escapes to Earth and lands on […]
Hacks – Heaven Review
The interesting thing about Hacks (or, at this stage of the game, perhaps it’s both a feature and a bug of the series structure) is that each season tells an arc and ends with a reset. Usually, that reset sees Ava and Deborah at odds for some reason – whether it is Deb trying to […]
Doctor Who – Wish World Review
I’ll be the first to admit that my Doctor Who knowledge isn’t nearly as vast as many fans, largely because I’ve only watched a couple of series of the show overall – and all of them have been during the modern era of the series. So, the importance of the Rani’s return has pretty much […]
The Mission: Impossible Movies Ranked
The Tom Cruise-led version of Mission: Impossible has come to an end with the eighth film in the series. They have produced some of the best spy action films, rivalling competitors like Bond and Bourne due to their terrific stunt work and focus on teamwork. Many A-list actors have appeared as enemies and allies of […]
