Spy X Family Season 2: Overview
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A spy, an assassin and a telepath pretend to be a happy family this time with added cruises.
I think this second season is even better than the first, in many senses the series really hits its stride here and gets into what you want to see from it.
The world building on display is solid and we get to find out a lot more about the lives of the characters we met…

The Death Of Cinemas
Written by Luke Barnes
This piece will talk about how cinemas are putting themselves out of business and how the coming downfall could have been prevented.
So as some of you who follow me on X will know this cinema issues article is inspired by something that happened to me recently. I have a cinema card meaning I can go as often as I like for a monthly fee, and I had booked to see a film at…

Spy X Family: Season One Overview
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A spy, an assassin and a telepath pretend to be a happy family.
This is one of the best animes I have watched in a while, and easily replaced some of my favourite animes in my all-time ranking. I would put it up there with Way of the Househusband, and Demon Slayer for sure.
I think what works so well about the first season of Spy X Family is how wholesome and…

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire: Now With Added Ghost Romance
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
The family from the legacy sequel that some call Afterlife move into the fire house and take over the Ghostbusters mantle.
My immediate reaction to this film is that there is a kernel of goodness in it. Don’t get me wrong this film isn’t perfect and we’ll get to that shortly I just wanted to say that this film does do some things right, such as its ending that…

Flying Witch: Anime Overview
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A new witch moves to town and gets lost frequently along the way.
I discovered this series as I was looking for a replacement after Way Of The Househusband and this fulfilled the same sort of wholesome and at times comedic sensibility. I would argue it is far more wholesome than comedic and more often than not it is just a good show to watch if you are feeling…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem: A Mash Up Of Someone Being Sick
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
Hello fellow children, a group of 40 year old guys reinvent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for Gen Z and it uses all the buzz words you would expect but does that make up for the glaring issues? No.
I liked Splinter, voiced by the Communist Parties’ own Jackie Chan, and both his role as more of a goofy dad and also his whole arc about learning to trust humans…

Kung Fu Panda 4: The Battle Against Irrelevance
Written by Luke Barnes
Po, voiced by Jack Black, is back and like every modern movie he needs to pass the torch onto a new dragon warrior.
So for the most part I thought this was fine, it was watchable enough and not particularly offensive in anyway. I think this was probably the worst written of the series and had the weakest plot and also emotional stakes, though I did like the moment Tai…

Immaculate: Sydney Sweeney Dressing Up As A Nun
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
Syndey Sweeny becomes a nun.
I truly think that Hollywood needs to stop it with the nun film at this point. The whole plot of this film was so predictable not only from previous nun horror films but also from other films about evil pregnancies, there was more than a little Rosemary’s Baby here. Maybe the creatives think they can get away with it thinking the…

Love Lies Bleeding: Thelma And Louise Did It Better
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
Kind of like Thelma And Louise.
So this film was not going to be for everyone, that was kind of the point. However, I like crime films so I thought I would give it a try, even if the trailers left me cold. This was a mistake.
So the film wasn’t terrible and does have good stakes and a mostly compelling story, but I think that in many senses this film tries too…

Godzilla X Kong: I Miss The Time Before CGI
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
They still haven’t learn the lesson of, if you are making a monster-verse film ditch the humans.
So I think that to perfectly encapsulate this film I’ll describe the first 10-15 minutes of it for you, Kong is fighting some creatures and is hurt there is something happening in the hollow earth, there is practically no dialogue at all during this section instead it…

Civil War: Guess Who The Bad Guy Is
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A civil war breaks out in the US but the thing that will kill you is not the air strikes or the bullets but the incredibly obvious message that is being beaten into your face until it’s a pulp.
What shocks me the most about this film is that it was made by a British director, normally it is the American’s that put their politics front and centre and think that…

The Silver Surfer No One Asked For
Written by Luke Barnes
This piece will talk about Marvel and the recent Fantastic Four casting news. A moment before we get into it, I know the female version of the Silver Surfer exists in the comics, minorly, and I know this is not in the main universe but rather an alternative timeline. Neither thing changes my point.
Remember a month or so ago when Bob Iger said that Disney was going to do…

Drive Away Dolls: Incredibly Sexualised Lesbians
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
Two young women, Geraldine Viswanathan and Margaret Qualley, travel across the States to find themselves and deliver a rather compromising package.
I want to preface this review by saying that I have never been a fan of the Cohen Brothers, though their films are lauded I only ever liked Inside Llewyn Davis. Here we only get one half of the directing duo and I…

Fire Kathleen Kennedy
Written by Luke Barnes
This piece will talk about Star Wars and the clear differences between Star Wars from a John Favreau and Dave Filoni view and Star Wars under Kathleen Kennedy’s purview. Yes I am aware that she signs off on everything as studio head but I am referring to the Filloniverse as it is known vs everything else.
To get to the brass tax of it this article was inspired after…

Ruby Gillman Teenage Kracken: The Tik Tok Generation Through The Lens Of Complete Misunderstanding
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
Some creatives from DreamWorks who are all probably approaching middle age decide that they know what kids like based of watching one Tik Tok video once and so make this a film that speaks to only one group of people.
This film is made for terminally online teens the kind you would find with dyed hair and who have a series of different flags and causes in their…

Anyone But You: When In Doubt Throw Yourself In The Harbour
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
After a misunderstanding a pair of people who hate each other must pretend to be a couple in order to not ruin a wedding.
A plot that has been done so many times I have lost count, originality is not one of this films special skills. You know where this is going, they pretend to be a couple then they become a couple and then they break up and then they have a big…

Imaginary: The Opposite Of A World Of Pure Imagination
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A kid, a teddy, and a monster of some sort. Settle down it’s only the same old Blumhouse formula.
Once upon a time Blumhouse used to make some of the best horror films out there, they were your prime cuts of horror meat, but then slowly over time they started abandoning smarter ideas and in many senses adults and started appealing primarily to teens, turning it…
