9 Original Movies Vs their Sequels – which dominate your film list?

Original Films Vs their Sequels When it comes to great movies, are you a person who prefers films to be left as standalone Original classics or do you find yourself pinning for a sequel as soon as the credits role?

Mogul Mowgli Review – London Film Festival

Mogul Mowgli is a powerfully personal exploration of cultural identity, ambition, and challenging traditions https://youtu.be/SKg4cOmfJ4k Mogul Mowgli is Bassam Tariq’s first feature length film and stars Riz Ahmed as a rising British Asian rapper on the cusps of success and fame. I went into this expecting a British 8 mile, an underdog story with rap battles. What I found was a much more introspective tale of cultural conflict and identity crisis. Riz had a well-known rap career as an MC prior to crossing over into acting so it's no surprise how comfortable he appeared playing the part of a rapper.…

Enola Holmes is a perfect dose of fun, mystery, and adventure https://youtu.be/rfSs_2hh9S8 2nd Opinion: Mysteree Enola Holmes: I completely agree with Kal’s review. While some creatives in Hollywood will try to re-invent the wheel, Netflix are more than happy to just get better cars in their garage.

Review: The Devil All The Time

The Devil All The Time released on Netflix yesterday to little fanfare despite it’s stacked cast of superhero stars, and with a source novel of disturbing content and the opportunity for it’s shiny young things to go super dark I was very keen to check it out. Based on a 2011 book of the same name, The Devil all the time is set in the aptly named ”Knockemstiff” a town in rural Ohio in the postwar years. It covers several intertwining stories, focusing mainly on around 15 years in the lives of Willard Russell (played by a harrowed Bill Skarsgard)…

Hollywood is scrambling to find a means to survive our new COVID reality.

Disney’s Mulan Review

With Mulan, have Disney finally delivered a remake worthy of your time? Let’s get the most pressing question out of the way first. Is this worth an extra £19.99 on top of what you are already paying for your Disney Plus subscription? And the answer is a resounding YES. Now that’s out of the way, let me tell you why. In the interest of disclosure, I don’t think I’ve even watched the original movie, just seen bits. I know it features Eddie Murphy as a small wise cracking dragon but that’s about it.

Project Power Review

No One Man should have all the POWER No One Man should have all that Power Firstly, let’s get this out of the way. Project Power is not Netflix’s entry into the eternal battle for Superhero domination between Marvel and DC. There’s no bright costumes, spaceships or aliens. Directors Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman have taken the story by Mattison Tomlin and crafted a film more grounded in reality than many recent super powered film efforts. This grounded approach doesn’t mean dark, gritty or littered in bad language. In fact, for a Netflix film, I was surprised just how clean the language was. https://videos.files.wordpress.com/omKaDQ4J/youtube-power_hd.mp4 Now for anyone who comes to this looking for something similar to a superhero movie…

Does Russell Crowe's Unhinged really show us what a bad day is? Unhinged stars Russell Crowe and sees movies officially make a welcome return to the big screen. This film lays its grand ambitions bare from the onset with almost 5 mins worth of footage during its opening credits portraying what it perceives to be societies main plagues-a lack of civility between people and the ease with which violence breaks out amongst us over the simplest things, in this case road rage. It also touches other issues like lack of government funding and police cuts as a of means of setting the scene for the events which are about to unfold. We are to believe that the government and law enforcement…

In Netflix's Project Power, superpowers are the drug of choice Its as easy as taking a pill to gain an amazing ability in the latest action thriller from Netflix. When i saw the trailer, for some reason my first thought was of Syndrome from the Incredibles.
