Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

Up until about six months ago, I was almost certain that I was done with the Terminator universe for good. Having been sufficiently underwhelmed by Terminator Genisys back in 2015, I felt it was probably time to call it a day on this particular beloved franchise. That was, until, Linda Hamilton landed back on the…

The Last Black Man In San Francisco (2019)

Something I have come to realise in my film watching experience is that if a film does well at Sundance, then it tends to do well with my personally as well. Having picked up both Best Director and a Special Jury Award at this year’s festival, it’s fair to say that The Last Black Man…

Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil (2019)

When Maleficent came out in 2014, it had the benefit of being one of the earlier of these new era Disney projects focused on either remaking or retelling old beloved properties.

Joker (2019)

At this point in the game, I don’t think it’s a controversial statement to make that in the long and historied list of comic book villains, the Joker is the single most iconic. From Cesar Romero to Jack Nicholson to Heath Ledger, the character has been treated to a number of memorable performances, some era…

The Goldfinch (2019)

Along with every other avid reader in 2013, I made my way through Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch. The novel received critical acclaim from pretty much every corner of the literary world, winning the esteemed Pulitzer Prize along the way. Being a fan of Tartt’s previous work, I was excited to devour the novel, but in…
