Detective Pikachu

When the trailer dropped for Detective Pikachu, the Pokémon franchise’s first live action film, I nearly shed a tear. Never had I seen something that seemed to capture the fun, imagination and scale that this series deserved quite so well. Could Detective Pikachu finally be the first great video game film adaptation? If the first trailer dropping the same day as Toy Story 4’s and totally eclipsing it is anything to go by – then absolutely…Read More→

Shazam!

There’s always been this idea, this child-like wonder of what it would be like to be a superhero. What it would be like to fly, to shoot lasers out of your eyes, to be bullet-proof, to have super strength and a strong heart. We’re in an age of comic book movies where we see that…Read More→

Based on the memoir by Garrard Conley, Joel Edgerton’s Boy Erased is another powerful milestone for the LGBTQ community as it touches on not only internal conflict, but the awful process known as conversion therapy that many are still subject to.

Ah October, the month when horror is under the spotlight and everyone is searching for something scary to watch. This October however, is a little more special, marking the 50th anniversary of George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.

Halloween (2018)

Bad Times at the El Royale Review
