You Can't Handle The Truth

Tom Holland dons the spidey suit once more, picking up in the years following the cataclysmic events of No Way Home. Unfortunately, it's more of what Marvel films have been suffering from lately without enough of the quality that has been present within Holland's first two outings as Spider-Man. It's great to see him swing through the streets of New York, even if it's recycling the same Glasweigan set on which it was filmed, but the overabundance on product placement early on makes it painfully apparent that Sony ought to give up custody and let Disney take the reins for the hero moving forwatd. Great news if you're looking to upgrade to the latest Samsung Galaxy Z8 flip phone or fancy the new BMW which has spidey approved sport mode! In theatres now, though I'd argue it may be better enjoyed at home with a large 1.5l bottle of wine.

Steven Spielberg's latest hit streaming recently after a somewhat mixed reception by theatregoers. Ignore the naysayers, Spielberg is one of the few directors that comfortably, and consistently, hits his mark and leaves audiences all the better for it. Disclosure Day perhaps isn't the Sci-Fi epic many were expecting; but it's certainly the empathetic espionage thriller we could all use right now.

Beloved actor, and all round incredible human, Sam Neill passed away at the start of the week (13th July), at the age of 78. No two roles were the same, nor was any single role without his utmost commitment and pure authenticity, reflecting the soul of a man that we could all learn a thing or two from imitating ourselves. A truly great loss to to the world, but Neill lives on through his family, farmyard animals, and a rapturous legacy that will outlast us all, even the Dinosaurs.

Disney's reached a new low with their latest live action adaptation. Moana isn't yet 10 years old and still holds up as one of their finest hours of animation. So why now? Why at all? Why does anything matter anymore? It's an abomination, but I'd highly recommend seeing with your own eyes exactly how obnoxiously derivative it is to the original. In cinemas now, in our nightmares forever.

hee hee! Michael Jackson finally receives the biopic treatment and its a doozy! As it nears the billion dollar threshold at the box office, its all the proof we need that slop is taking over our attention spans and wallets. Can't beat it, dangerous to even try; don't waste your time. Leave it to me to endure for you.

Sequels are everywhere it seems. Room for one more? It's been a long 3 years without publishing episodes, but hopefully this will be the start of a nice routine as I explore more specific topics within the entertainment world. I'll still be releasing specific review episodes too, but this episode will contain more information about the return, as well as next chapter of You Can't Handle The Truth. Enjoy!

Olivia Wilde returns to the directors chair once again; after a terrific debut with Booksmart and the terrifically disappointing Don't Worry Darling. Has Wilde returned to form? Welcome to the dinner party from hell, clearly she's a fan of Come Dine With Me. In theatres now!
