Best of Amazon Prime: Oz review
I recently decided to rewatch Oz after seeing it pop up on Amazon Prime (Amazon Prime includes a Netflix style streaming service, and is apparently not named after the leader of a tribe of warrior women Autobots). I…
Automata review
Automata is an extremely good looking film, it has a grainy, gritty sci-fi look that is reminiscent of District 9 with nods to Blade Runner, although the dusty desert scenes and girly robots do also bring…
Snowpiercer Review

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Review
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (which comes in two halves, part one released last year and part two out now) is the adaptation of Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novel from 1986, back before he went insane….
