WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I think I’ve said this before, but there’s a lot of times that turning a film into a franchise can really ruin a great concept.

If We Prequels Have Offended
Beginning with Bumblebee
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers In order to watch this article, I watched Bumblebee for the first time, but I had to make myself suffer through Transformers for the second time. I put it this way because the film was just as bad as I remembered. Now, that’s not saying that Bumblebee was a …
Into the Cube
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers When I first watched Cube, I put it up there with being as good as Saw. Maybe not as clever but I definitely enjoyed the concept in the same way. I’m probably going to repeat myself later on but I don’t think the prequel stood up to the standard …
Monster’s Inc and University
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I realised when writing this review that I hadn’t seen Monsters, Inc. since it was released back in 2001! I’ll be honest, no offense to Pixar but the animation really has not held up to the test of time. Now to the importance of this article, was it worth …

It is time to understand where the war between the Lycans and the Vampires really began. The Birth of Lucian …
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
WARNING: This Review Contains Spoilers Ever since I was a child, The Wizard of Oz has been one of my favourite films, to the extent that it was my go-to film when I was ill. Released in 1939, it brought L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the screen, with Judy Garland in …
The Thing
Warning: This Review Contains Spoilers Antarctica, 1982. Two teams in the snowy wasteland end up set upon by the same monster in the midst of winter (but I guess it always is in Antarctica right?). I originally looked at these films in order to contest whether it was worth the remake – which ended up …
