Young CriticWar Dogs
War is a subject that films have taken a liking to portray as either patriotic or horrible. I haven’t seen a film that has taken a different lens and portrayed war as a business. This is precisely what War Dogs does, al

Young CriticSuicide Squad
“A year ago I had a fantastic version of this. And it would have received great reviews. You’ll probably never see it. That’s reality though.” These were director Josh Trank’s words referring to his Fantastic Four reboot
Young CriticJason Bourne
Hollywood doesn’t know when to stop. When studios find a franchise, they milk it until the product is absolutely spoiled, then they abandon the shriveled franchise and move on to another. We can see this process begin to
Young CriticWarcraft
As I have said in previous reviews, film adaptations of video games have never quite proven successful, and I had almost given up hope, when suddenly Warcraft came to the rescue. Now I have to warn you that Warcraft isn

Young CriticBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
I am yet to be convinced with Zack Snyder’s directorial brilliance. His previous films 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, and Man of Steel were all a big mess of CGI and explosions. His latest film: Batman v. Superman: Dawn o
Young CriticAllegiant
It’s a shame the route that YA movies are taking. They have completely lost the ambition and creativity that defined their great success. We’ve seen their decline with Maze Runner, Twilight, and the end of The Hunger Gam
Young CriticDeadpool
Being able to laugh at oneself is one of the most admirable and useful things in life. It allows you to take self-criticism and in a way, it helps you become a better person by identifying your faults. Marvel is one of t
