This film was a lot. Like, so much. Ordinarily that might have been enough to make it the hit of the year, but the MI franchise has been so ...

Depending on your perspective, you'll either love or hate the idea of this, the latest instalment in the Final Destination franchise. If...

Sometimes all you need to do is go back to the basics. Thunderbolts* does this well, and is a solid, safe, and stable movie as a result. The...

I found the first Accountant (2016! Yelp) to be a great film. It was tight, multilayered, as much of a puzzle as the themes were in the movi...

Although I was already planning to attend this, I was looking forward to it even more as a counterpoint to a recent comedy gig I attended....

Between needing to catch both Jummah and our flight home today, we didn't hold much hope for our activities today. That said, given some...

After yesterday we decided to keep things a little closer to home and spent the day thirty minutes away in Wiesbaden. This was yet another q...

Having a car meant that we could go on day trips, and there were a few options given our base in Frankfurt. We settled on Heidelberg as a go...

Given that a couple of relatives had moved to Germany recently we felt it was our duty (you know, as existing and veteran European citizens...

Although well made and acted, Sinners suffers from some structural issues that stop it from being a brilliant movie. It's a shame becaus...

Although I was disappointed that the main gimmick of the movie - the airdropping by an unidentifiable blackmailer - ultimately doesn't h...

Okay full disclosure: I didn't know who Sundeep was before I accepted the invitation to go see him. I am not ashamed of this (well, not ...

To qualify: I do not understand Minecraft. It feels like the ultimate sandbox, like MS Paint but 3D. I'm happy to put this down to my ow...

As convenient as the Eurostar is, I blame exactly that for mistaking our return to London this day. Where I though we would have to wrap up ...

Our B&B was comfortable and very cute, and I agreed with the host's claim that we were staying for far too short amount of time. Sti...

I've always wanted to visit Belgium, although that's mostly because I knew it was only ever a train ride away. Apart from popular re...

By my most recent standards, this trip to Karachi has been a long time (okay, maybe a month or two) coming. Four weddings (as in four differ...

If I ever had a complaint about The Cosmere, it's that Sanderson refuses to help us out with his world. He teases and baits, but very ra...

The real genius in Sanderson lies not just in his ability to create rich worlds, but to do so tremendously concisely. This isn't just a...

Oooh now this is a film that's probably going to be more controversial in some circles than others. Religious commentary is always trick...

Aaaaah, it's always difficult to review the last volume of an epic such that was The Expanse. Is it even possible to pay off so many boo...

A good sequel expands on the original along many axes. It's more extreme (which is particularly in the case of horror), it adds depth to...

Even though Transformers have been done to death in recent history, they were so overtly different from the Gen One Transformers of our yout...

Nothing could have prepared me for this film. That's not to say it was totally out there, more that the premise didn't quite lend it...
