Despite the fact that 2023’s Five Nights at Freddy’s was quite critically mauled, its $297 million global haul spoke to the contrary. Fans seemed to eat up what director Emma Tammi and co-writer Scott Cawthon (the creator of the video game series it’s based upon) put forth, even if they too readily admitted that the…
Film Review: Under the Stars is a warm, comforting romantic comedy
It’s a shame that the romantic comedy doesn’t feel as cinematically necessary as it once did, with the genre relegated to streaming services or an On Demand shelf life (for the most part), even if they are blessed with genuine star talent. And whilst Michelle Danner‘s Under the Stars isn’t reinventing the wheel, it’s a…

Film Review: Hunting Season; Mel Gibson leads emotion-laced neo-Western actioner
With a more sizeable budget, one could imagine a film like Hunting Season being the perfect vehicle for an action figure like Jason Statham. It utilises a simple premise, indulges in a certain neo-Western mentality, remains remarkably asexual, and ultimately culminates in a violent shoot-out where murky good triumphs over pure evil.
