Review in Brief: Army of the Dead (2021)

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Sam S-P

Zack Snyder is clearly relieved to be done with superheroes for now and has returned to the genre that broke him through: the zombie movie. Unfortunately ARMY OF THE DEAD is an over-stuffed and largely ponderous affair. The promising premise … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Mortal Kombat (2021)

Posted on May 18, 2021 by Sam S-P

Maybe rather than trying to stumble upon the secret formula for a successful game-to-film adaptation, it should be agreed that the answer remains “don’t”. MORTAL KOMBAT looks visually impressive for the most part, and fans of the games will doubtless … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Bloodshot (2020)

Posted on May 7, 2020 by Sam S-P

BLOODSHOT looks like it’s going to be about something for a ten minute stretch in the middle when amnesiac supersoldier Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel) meets fellow members of his new black ops squad – all servicemen injured in action and … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Tomb Raider (2018)

Posted on January 2, 2019 by Sam S-P

The quest for the great, even good video game movie (as opposed to a few decent examples of movies about video gaming) continues. The latest TOMB RAIDER is unengaging, lifeless and features a depressing amount of obviously fake jungle sets. … Continue reading →
