August 19, 2017August 19, 2017 Laidback DM

Let’s get this out of the way right now. War for the Planet of the Apes is one of the best movies this year. You should do yourself a favour and see it. Matt Reeves has directed an incredible movie … Continue reading War for the Planet of the Apes. A movie review.

Manchester by the Sea. A movie review.

August 3, 2017August 5, 2017 Laidback DM

Thar be spoilers ahead… Manchester by the Sea is a depressing movie. Even with the great dialogue and character performances, it leaves you wondering what just happened. In truth, not much did. Kenneth Lonergan’s script, from his play, won the … Continue reading Manchester by the Sea. A movie review.

Dunkirk. A movie review.

August 1, 2017August 1, 2017 Laidback DM

So, if you haven’t seen the movie Dunkirk by now, all I can say is: “why not?” Dunkirk is a movie about the evacuation of 330 000 British and French troops from the Dunkirk beach after being surrounded by the German offensive … Continue reading Dunkirk. A movie review.

July 21, 2017July 21, 2017 Laidback DM

Ain’t no spoilers here Edgar Wright has made some spectacular movies: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, World’s End, and one of my Top 10 faves, Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Having read several positive reviews, I went to Baby … Continue reading Baby Driver. A movie review.

Wonder Woman. A movie review.

June 3, 2017July 27, 2017 Laidback DM

No spoilers on the Western Front It seems like it was only yesterday that I was commenting about the superhero movie formula becoming stale (oh, it was – check out my Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 review here). Little did … Continue reading Wonder Woman. A movie review.

Guardians of the Galaxy – the Marvel formula strikes again…A movie review.

June 2, 2017September 5, 2017 Laidback DM

No spoilers here… I’ve seen all the Marvel movies and generally I love them (Incredible Hulk was a bit meh, but that’s okay, you can’t have everything). The last few have bordered on a bit average, though. So why is … Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy – the Marvel formula strikes again…A movie review.

Alien Covenant. A movie review.

May 26, 2017July 27, 2017 Laidback DM

No spoilers! Not real ones, anyway… I just saw Alien Covenant. I was a bit concerned that it might be all promise and not deliver the goods (a bit like the rather crappy Prometheus that preceded it). But guess what? … Continue reading Alien Covenant. A movie review.

Lion. A tear-filled movie review.

May 22, 2017May 25, 2017 Laidback DM

This review contains spoilers. I never got the chance to see Lion in the cinema. In some ways, I’m glad I didn’t. Not because it’s a bad movie, but because it’s a movie that guarantees I’m going to cry, and … Continue reading Lion. A tear-filled movie review.

May 21, 2017May 21, 2017 Laidback DM

No spoilers here! I loved John Wick, the Keanu Reeves actioner from a few years back, about a retired assassin who returns to the business after some local mobsters steal his car and kill his dog. The movie features plenty … Continue reading John Wick: Chapter 2. A Movie Review.

Logan. A movie review.

March 11, 2017September 5, 2017 Laidback DM

I saw Logan yesterday. And what I saw was a great movie, one that focussed on character, with a good story, great acting, great action set pieces that contributed to the plot, rather than being there for the sake of it, and some deep underlying themes and messages that resonated with me. Continue reading Logan. A movie review.

January 31, 2017February 1, 2017 Laidback DM

I saw Split today, the new M. Night Shyamalan movie. Having it fresh in my mind, I thought I’d do a little movie review, as I haven’t done one before, and felt that I needed to. Continue reading Splitting Hairs – “Split” Movie Review

Man of Steel – Superman for a pragmatic generation

January 25, 2017April 21, 2017 Laidback DM

I watched Man of Steel the other day, the underrated and divisive Zack Snyder film that reintroduced Superman on film and was the start of the celluloid DC Comics movie universe (known as the DCEU). Continue reading Man of Steel – Superman for a pragmatic generation
