I think it’s best to say upfront that I’m not overly familiar with the music of Elton John. I’ve heard some of his big hits, but I’ve never been really into Elton John, the same way as other musicians. That said, I was still excited for this. I’m a fan of Dexter Fletcher as a… Continue reading Rocketman Review
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
As I’ve said before on this blog, I’m a fan of the John Wick series. In terms of pure action, the John Wick films are pretty much exactly what you hope for in an action film, helped by strong worldbuilding and a strong central performance from Keanu Reeves, with a reliable string of character actors… Continue reading John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

Small Town Hero Review
So a few days ago, at time of writing, I was provided with a screener for Small Town Hero to review. Now, I hadn’t heard of the film before, but having seen the trailer after being given the offer, I decided to accept the screener and give it a look. After watching the film, I’m… Continue reading Small Town Hero Review
