Thoughts on Justice League: The Snyder Cut

Today it was announced that HBO Max is going to be releasing the long demanded for Snyder Cut of Justice League. Following the release of Justice League in 2017, and the belief from campaigners that the film released in cinemas was ruined when Joss Whedon was brought on to re-write and do some re-shoots for…

Misbehaviour Review

This is a film that I’ve been intrigued about for a while. Last year, when I was in London for a weekend with my dad, I saw a scene of this be filmed and researching the events being depicted I was fascinated. This felt like a film that was right up my alley and the…

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) Review
