Mission: Impossible Fallout Review (No Spoilers)

Tom Cruise (Top Gun, Minority Report) is back for the 6th instalment in one of his most beloved franchises, Mission: Impossible. The franchise that started out in 1996 and has been going on since with each film trying to make itself bigger and better than its predecessor. And now this new film Mission: Impossible Fallout (2018, Christopher McQuarrie) is set to be the biggest one yet! For the first time in the Series' history, the director from the previous film has returned to helm the sequel, which is really good as Rogue Nation (2015, Christopher McQuarrie)  more or less found the right tone for the series in that film. First Thoughts This film is perhaps the best action film of 2018! Yeah! I'm calling it! The action is exciting and intense, the acting is really good and the story is really suspenseful. This was possibly one of the most adrenaline-fueled experiences I've ever had at the cinema. With every scene having nail-biting stakes. Ethan Hunt/Tom Crui...

SDCC 2018. Top Five Movie Trailers

SDCC has come and gone, and with it, a whole load of movie trailers have dropped for fans to sink their teeth into!

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald The hype for this new chapter in the Wizarding World continues with the latest trailer. Whilst the trailer doesn't really reveal a lot more than the previous trailer it does give us some good moments. The beginning with Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as a child showing his greatest fear is working behind a desk or that Dumbledore (Jude Law)  sees Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) in the Mirror of Erised. We even get to see new beasts, such as the strange cat creatures, and the first look at Nicholas Flemel, the creator of the Phil...

The Incredibles 2 Review (No Spoilers)

In 2004 audiences marvelled at Disney Pixar's The Incredibles (Brad Bird) with its brilliant characters, great action and slick 1960's-esque style. And now, 14 years later, the film is finally getting a sequel. With everyone returning, even director Brads Bird (The Iron Giant, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) who lately has had a less than smooth transition into live-action films. But now he's back in the medium that he excels at with the hotly anticipated sequel. First Thoughts This movie is, for lack of a better word, Incredible! The filmmakers have brought everything audiences loved from the original and have doubled down on it. The characters are taken in interesting stories, the action is amazing and the animation is just breath-taking.  Elastigirl/Holly Hunter Arguably my favourite character in the film! Elastigirl has really upped her game in this film. Whilst she was great in the original she took everything to a whole new level. Particularly ...
