By: Ali Habous The Nice Guys is one of those movies that we don’t get to see often these days, it is simply one of the best films of 2016 so far. Not because it is unique or special, but because it is the comedy that we need and deserve. It is the buddy comedy […]

War Dogs – Satirical Comedy Never Reaches its Full Potential
By: Ali Habous Todd Phillips is no stranger to popular buddy comedies; he directed The Hangover trilogy, Old School, and Due Date. Here we have Phillips taking a shot at satirical comedies while bringing his own touch to the table. War Dogs is to him what The Wolf of Wall Street was to Martin Scorsese and American Hustle […]

Anthropoid – Gripping WW2 Thriller Falls Short of Greatness

Suicide Squad – A Jump in the Right Direction
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat After seeing Suicide Squad I had mixed emotions. The critics were without a doubt wrong in my mind. Suicide Squad was much better made and more enjoyable than Batman vs Superman. DC took note from Marvel and added a bit more comedy, whilst keeping the signature dark vibe intact. Obviously, it had its problems too, but those […]
Jason Bourne – Return of the Real Spy
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat Jason Bourne AKA David Webb is in my opinion cinema’s greatest spy. His skills in badassery have graced our screen for 14 years and his tortured soul has proven the ultimate thing to dissect on the screen. There’s such a thing as the “Bourne formula” which all the movies have followed since The […]
