But over the last few years, there have been far more misses than hits. 2019’s Motherless Brooklyn and the same’s year’s Glass have been rare exceptions although they didn’t exactly strike box office gold.

Working as a prequel to the Despicable Me franchise, Minions tackles the bug-eyed yellow creatures and their journey before they meet up with Gru, spanning from the dinosaurs rights up until the present day. When Minions caters for the child demographic they so obviously appeal to, the film works best. The over the top, slapstick humour and jibberish layered with references to bananas and evil is typical fodder that children will love....

The Makeshift Prison While this week’s episode was still a little slow, the ending did finally bring the story forward a bit. This weekend’s episodes undoubtedly feel like fillers though as we still don’t know a lot about the murders and a lot of questions remain unanswered.

We then cut to where the last episode left off with Kim Wook and Yeo Na finding the man chained to the bed....

He Returns One of the bigger surprises last year came from AMC’S horror series NOS4A2. Despite a questionable name and some slow plotting to begin with, this adapted novel did a great job capturing a unique tone and spin on proceedings that’s paved way for a very welcome second season. As we return to this twisted world, 8 years have passed and a lot has changed in that time. With a solid episode of drama that sets the foundation for what’s to follow, NOS4A2 returns with a decent opening episode that leaves lots of promise for the season ahead....

10 Years In The Making I wish I had more time to read. I know that sounds like a pretty formulaic excuse but when you watch as much TV as me and spend every waking minute reviewing and researching TV and film, the only time I really get a chance to read is for my kids when I put them to bed. Having said that, during my teen years I read a lot of books but two in particular always stood out for me – The Color Purple and To Kill A Mockingbird....

A Documentary That Fails To Really Say Anything Out Of Many, One is a short Netflix documentary about immigrants trying to gain citizenship to the United States. Instead of tackling hard hitting questions and stigmas surrounding this highly sensitive subject, Out Of Many, One instead focuses on the human aspect and the artistic history of the United States of America. At a run time of 34 minutes, the documentary is a fleeting experience at best and one that fails to really address any issues on the topic....
