Logan with Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine 4 Stars. The Year is 2029 and Mutants aren’t the dominant force in the world they were once envisioned to be. In fact, they are a depressing shell of their former existence. Logan (Hugh Jackman) seems like most bitter men his age drinking the days away and taking hourly

Lion: 4 Stars. I enjoyed this movie. Based on a true story about an Australian man of Indian descent (played well by Dev Patel), troubled by the events of his childhood; sets out to find the family he lost. If this movie doesn’t pull on your heartstrings then you simply don’t have one. Yes, I

Denzel Washington directs and stars in this movie about a poor black family living in the 1950s city of Pittsburgh. The story centres upon Troy Maxson; a sanitation worker (garbage collector). His wife Rose (played very well by Viola Davis) has been married to him for 18 years. They have one mid teenage son Corey,

A Very Moving Tribute; I Enjoyed Patriots Day; 4 Stars. The movie displays the events surrounding the bombing of the Boston Marathon on the 15th April 2013; now infamously known as the Boston Bombing.

Moonlight 4 Stars. I like a movie that surprises me and exceeds expectations; as Moonlight does so well. I read the film reviews stating that this is a ‘coming of age,’ story (whatever that means, which frankly, I think is lazy or a ‘safe verdict’ for a reviewer when dealing with uncomfortable issues such as

There are Far More Reasons to Celebrate than to Denigrate our Great Nation. In response to Andrew Bolt’s article in the Herald-Sun: ABC Dreams on Date Change (30/1) a few things need to be pointed out. The lifeblood of the aboriginal community is victimisation and failure; without this there is no funding or political influence.

The Great Wall: 3.5 Stars This movie dispels the common perception of the Great Wall; that it was built to keep foreign invaders out (most notably the human kind i.e Mongols). According to this film, the wall was built to keep out a ravenous swarm of Taotie; monsters who emerge every 60 years from their

As the title of the film suggests, M. Night Shyamalan has chosen split personalities as the theme of this movie. Like many other moviegoers who are aware of this director’s previous works, deep down, we always hope that he can duplicate the tremendous success and wonderful film Sixth Sense; but this film falls short. The

I Loved this Movie. Disney has created a great family movie that kids (and kids at heart) will thoroughly enjoy. Moana is the daughter of the island chieftain and next in line for island leadership. Her father had had a bad experience with the sea and forbade any venturing beyond the surf. Moana looked to
