Gods of Egypt Review

A film as mediocre as its mythological and historical accuracy Geoffrey Rush fights a planet-eating monster with a fire-spitting spear on a spaceship, in order to protect a flat Earth while his kids/grand-kids slaughter each other. The above statement basically…

Room Review

A triumph in subject but doesn’t deliver the anticipated impact in its succinct length. Not to be confused with Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 catastrophe The Room, Room as directed by Lenny Abrahamson is an adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s novel of the…

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Review

A Young Adult Fantasy blockbuster that transcended the genre Let’s admit it, no one really liked Mockingjay part 1; while it was of apt production coupled with some great intensity and humour, it just wasn’t as excitingly portrayed as the…
