Greatest Days
Greatest Days shines bright, perfectly capturing the power of music, friendship, and how we are never beyond the mysticism of childhood. A musical adaption of Take That’s greatest hits is undoubtedly a hard sell for audiences who don’t have a close affiliation with the 90s boyband. Thankfully, Greatest Days directed by Coky Giedroyc radiates its joy,…… Continue reading Greatest Days

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – Hooked on a Fatigued Feeling
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 draws out its fanfare with little payoff for audiences. Before delving into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, context is needed as the film wasn’t likely to be released, held in production purgatory with director James Gunn fired following the emergence of old tweets.

The Portable Door – How to make pencil pushing fun for kids? Add magic.
Adapted from the 2003 novel of the same name by Tom Holt, this adaptation is as confusing as it is tedious. Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson) awakens, the alarm clock blaring, indicating late for a generic job interview at an unbranded coffee chain.

Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now – Uninspired to a hellish extent.
Lewis Capaldi’s management permits the musician to allow filmmakers to explore his anxieties and Tourette’s as a marketing tool for his next album. With a confusing tone, the Netflix documentary about musician Lewis Capaldi scrapes the surface of the Scottish singer’s experiences, pressures and fears whilst the vulture of capitalism greedily scavenges away. The documentary,…… Continue reading Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now – Uninspired to a hellish extent.
The Super Mario Bros Movie – A jukebox musical that spotlights Jack Black’s Tenacious B-owser.
In 1993 Nintendo pulled the plug on all adaptations after the failed Super Mario Bros movie. Thirty years later, they should have stuck to their word. Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind Minions, had already become the victim of Internet mockery from the initial trailer of Chris Pratt’s voicing alternative to Charles Martinet. Little had been…… Continue reading The Super Mario Bros Movie – A jukebox musical that spotlights Jack Black’s Tenacious B-owser.
