Jumanji Official Poster Ever wondered what it would be like to have Dwayne Johnson act as an insecure teenage boy, amazed by his huge muscle mass? No? What about seeing Jack Black portraying a popular, Instagram-addicted and, perhaps, short-sighted girl? Still a negative answer? Well, too bad, because this Jumanji reboot shows us all of the listed above whilst putting a fresh new spin on a classic story. I must confess that I was genuinely surprised on how this movie turned out to be. Still of a crocodile, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Karen Gillan After watching the promotional material Sony had been releasing to the public eye, I could not help but to feel uninterested. The trailers simply did not sell it for me. However, there is nothing like turning a blind eye during Christmas time, so I checked it out anyway. And I am glad I did! The narrative is relatively straightforward; a group of teenagers is literally pulled into a videogame and are consequent...

Star Wars The Last Jedi Official Poster The following film review is brought to you through Hyperspace Deliveries, a company whose headquarters are located in a galaxy far, far away. Jokes aside, it is time to delve deep into the latest Star Wars movie and reflect on it. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is written and directed by Rian Johnson , something that has only been accomplished in the past by George Lucas himself. So, how did Johnson’s trial run go? Well, in order to tackle the billion dollar question we need to dissect the film and evaluate it. Without further ado, let’s get to it.

All in! The DCEU (DC Extended Universe, for those of you who have been living under a rock) has experienced quite the tricky ride, through the years. Its point of origin was with 2013’s Man of Steel, when the world was introduced to Superman himself. Three years later, audiences are invited to watch the so called “Greatest gladiator match in the history of the world” in the form of Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice. It received its fair share of backlash due to its moody and overall dark tone, but one thing was clear: Snyder ’s vision for what this cinematic universe could become was something undoubtedly remarkable and unique and consequently worth the shot of progression. Shot of the Trinity in BvS So, naturally, casual moviegoers decided to continue supporting this cinematic endeavor, with Suicide Squad next up on the watchlist. Another film, and yet another setback, unfortunately. This one lacked a coherent plot and tried to overly rely on the Guardians of the G...

Official Poster In today’s world, where major studios are always pushing for an action-packed franchise or working on a new super-hero sequel, Murder on the Orient Express emerges as a solid, well thought out film, adapted from the book series written by crime-mystery adept Agatha Christie . The story follows French detective Hercule Poirot, played by Kenneth Branagh (who also takes up the directorial mantle), as he unravels what seems to be impossible lawless conundrums. Poirot's inner cogs are rotating, which means a mystery is upon us! Poirot had just solved a case concerning the Western Wall in plain Israel and is immediately called in to figure out yet another one. In order to do so, he must jump on board the Orient Express and travel to his desired destination. Everything is going as expected and even the eggs were perfect (trust me, you’ll know it when you see it) until a passenger is killed. Everyone is a suspect and Poirot, who needed some much deser...

Pennywise is looking at you, right now! Once the school time comes to a halt and the summer vacations are finally at reach, what should one do in order to maximize the fun? Forming and integrating a group whose common denominator is being afraid sounds like an awesome choice, am I right? No? What about banding together with a group of friends to fight a demonic entity in the form of a shapeshifting clown? Still a no? Well, that is precisely what happens in one of the finest Stephen King ’s adaptations to the silver screen in the recent years. Oh, hi there, spooky clown in the sewers! Can I have my boat back? It is usually said a horror picture is as good as its antagonist. So, naturally, it all comes down to whether or not Pennywise the Dancing Clown works. Long story short, Bill Skarsgård portrays the character in a strong and convincing manner. The murderous clown is, for the most part, a menacing figure, but he sometimes comes off as funny in a creepy and weird...
