Every day there are more and more musicians who change their style in order to “crossover” to the mainstream. None more so than Katy B, who with her follow-up to the 2011 album “On A Mission”, has created such an obvious attempt at sucking up to Pop Music, […]
Gerard Butler is one hack of an actor. Like some kind of Sean Connery 2.0, he has been perpetually playing the same character in every film he’s appeared in. Whether it’s a serious Drama, a Romantic Comedy, or an all out Action film, you can find him continually […]
Quentin Tarantino is one of the most overrated directors of modern times. Hold on, I think I should do this Tarantino style… a bit too long, full of expletives, out of sequence, and put pointlessly into chapters. Chapter One: Django Was Not Off The Chain Django Unchained was […]
M. Night Shyamalan is a one hit wonder, and if you’ve watched his last few films; you’ll be left wondering how he made even one hit. Back in 1999, Shyamalan surprised everybody by creating the low-budget brooding mystery; The Sixth Sense. This was the year when almost all […]
Making money seems to be the most important factor for Hollywood Studios when it comes to the continuation of a movie franchise. During planning and pre-production, they are quick to sign any Writer, Director, and even Actor regardless of their track record, and during this process seem strangely […]
From the minute we hear Jay-Z’s faux-A$AP-Rocky flow on the first track of Magna Carta… Holy Grail, we are reminded of how tired this old rapper has now become. Jay-Z has gone from being a wannabe Jaz-O, wannabe Biggie, wannabe Nas, wannabe Russell Simmons, to wannabe credible. With […]
Over familiarity and repetitiveness is not a great combination for a movie. From Hollywood’s point of view a familiar character can mean attracting an established following, from the audience’s point of view however this can be one of the most disappointing aspects of cinema-going. With Man Of Steel […]
From the moment a curtain opens on stage at the start of Sucker Punch, the audience can’t wait for it to close on this pitiful excuse of a movie. With its slow motion corny-ness, fake theatrical set-pieces, and wannabe erotic costumes, this is surely one of the biggest […]
Zack Snyder has somehow risen though the ranks of Hollywood by merely possessing the skills of a B-Movie Director. His films which are usually colour-graded to hell, have all the artistic merit of a Soft-core Porn romp, and mimic the aesthetics of a noughties Pop Music Video. This […]
Ever since the sun set on the Golden-Age of Hip-Hop, fans and the industry alike have been looking for a Savior to kick-start a new Rap epoch. However, when an entire culture is on a constant lookout for a Hip-Hop Second Coming; they collectively end up lauding someone […]
The Last Stand is a film which wishes it was made in the ’80s or ’90s, a time when contrived characters and prejudicial stereotyping was accepted. Watching this film in the present day however, just goes to show how outdated the classic “Action Movie” template has become. In […]
Peter Jackson, the once underrated cult director of low-budget, ultra-gory horror comedies such as Bad Taste and Braindead, has now become synonymous with big-budget adaptations. He has now become an unofficial member to an ever-increasing clique of overrated blockbuster-bullshitters whose inability to enthral audiences or display directorial individuality, […]
The once lyrically adept Nicki Minaj seemed like a breath of fresh air in the world of stagnant Hip-Hop. By the late noughties (2000’s) Hip-Hop as a genre was overfilled with dumbed-down lyrics, it needed new blood in order to inject some life into this decaying art-form. With […]
I remember as a kid looking in amazement at the giant screen which filled my field of view. I used to love the virtual experience of swimming miles underwater or flying above beautiful landscapes. IMAX screens were immersive and transformed edutainment into a cinematic adventure. In the 1990s […]
