Posted on June 30, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

If you like the FAST & FURIOUS movies, chances are you either prefer the earlier ones that were about street racing and family or you prefer the later ones that are about ignoring the laws of physics and family. If … Continue reading →

Review: Tenet (2020)

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Turn the music down when people are talking Nolan – you’ve been told before! TENET is perhaps Christopher Nolan’s most elusive film after MEMENTO, and not always for the reasons intended. Strap yourselves in for a thrilling, but frustrating ride. … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Aladdin (2019)

Posted on April 4, 2020 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

There’s a line of dialogue in the new ALADDIN that sums it up rather well: “Clumsy, but in a charming sort of way”. It’s very close to the animated movie, with Mena Massoud really looking and sounding the part, but … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

Posted on September 3, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Well you can’t accuse anybody working on this of just doing the same thing twice. PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING might be even dumber than the first film, which was Guillermo del Toro valiantly attempting to get something with thematic substance out … Continue reading →

Review: Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

Posted on August 23, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

I came to the FAST & FURIOUS franchise in time for FAST FIVE, when any pretence about the series being about cars and street racing anymore went up in a bloom of ignited fuel. Since then we’ve had 2 very … Continue reading →

Review: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

Posted on June 22, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

I’ve already forgotten most of APOCALYPSE, though I do for some reason remember Michael Fassbender floating in the air, looking bored and not saying anything for half an hour. I also recall the apparent finality of the ending, with the … Continue reading →

A Few Thoughts More: Endgame

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

The following piece contains major spoilers for AVENGERS: ENDGAME. Alright, are we all caught up? OK then. Endgame is one of those particularly difficult movies to wax lyrical about (and I intend to) without talking about the specific things you … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: The Wandering Earth (2019)

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

THE WANDERING EARTH either needed to be a lot smarter or a little bit dumber to really land. It’s fascinating to see China enter the international blockbuster arena in earnest with the killer premise of building monolithic engines on the … Continue reading →
