Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2021) 68% 3/5 EDIT “It's more fun than expected, and it's abundantly clear that Will Gluck is trying to atone for past mistakes, which is something to be commended. Who knows? Maybe the teased third film will be a masterpiece!” – Starburst Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Last and First Men (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This film is a testament to the man who spent the last few years of his life wanting to bring his personal passion project to reality, and he truly succeeded in achieving that.” – Starburst Aug 3, 2020 Full Review A Good Woman Is Hard to Find (2019) 92% 9/10 EDIT “A Good Woman is Hard to Find is a damn solid piece of drama that is brutal yet effective.” – Starburst Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Venom (2018) 31% 3/10 EDIT “It's such a bizarre mixture of tones that Venom feels like the perfect successor to The Amazing Spider-Man films, almost to the point where you begin to wonder whether or not this was originally intended to be a spinoff to those films.” – Starburst Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Loophole (2019) 2/10 EDIT “Another forgettable, bland, throwaway release that has nothing in it whatsoever. Its messages are too preachy, the dialogue is clichéd-riddled, the characterisation is wafer thin, and there's just no real substance to be found.” – Starburst Jan 22, 2019 Full Review Crimson Peak (2015) 72% 8/10 EDIT “Crimson Peak has proven to be Del Toro's most divisive movie to date, with some being very fond of it while others are frustrated and tired of it.” – Starburst Jan 8, 2019 Full Review Hackers (1995) 34% EDIT “One may criticise Hackers for being unreal, ridiculous or just too cheesy, but it stands as one of the most underrated gems to have come out of the 1990s. The performances are vibrant, the storytelling is kinetic and the visuals are something to behold.” – Starburst Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Kin (2018) 36% 5/5 EDIT “All these positives aren't enough to make this movie good, since it's let down by an incredibly dated story full of some of the most tired clichés, without even attempting to add something new or fresh to spice things up.” – Starburst Nov 15, 2018 Full Review The Happytime Murders (2018) 23% 2/10 EDIT “A film that is not only unfunny in every way, it is downright annoying, inept, and embarrassing.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2018 Full Review The Bestowal (2018) 75% 7/10 EDIT “An odd, peculiar beast that is unique, challenging and thought-provoking, yet frustrating, unengaging and, from this writer's mindset, impossible to become emotionally attached to.” – Starburst Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Tideland (2005) 31% 7/10 EDIT “It is true that Gilliam makes his movies through fire and brimstone just by examining his extraordinary filmography, and there is no denying that Tideland is a film that was borne out of that.” – Starburst Aug 9, 2018 Full Review The Death of Superman (2018) 93% 9/10 EDIT “This rightfully stands along such gems like Superman vs. the Elite and All Star Superman as one of the best Superman animated movies to date, so let's just hope the upcoming second part delivers just as well.” – Starburst Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Humanity Bureau (2017) 22% 5/10 EDIT “The main problem... is that The Humanity Bureau is not special enough to have long legs in the future, and arguably certain plot elements and concepts have been better executed in various other movies before it.” – Starburst Jun 27, 2018 Full Review The Commuter (2018) 55% 5/10 EDIT “Just like Roger Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon, you do get the impression of Liam thinking he's "too old for this s---".” – Starburst May 11, 2018 Full Review Looking Glass (2018) 23% 2/10 EDIT “Despite being billed as a suspense thriller, there is zero suspense throughout, questions that are raised never answered satisfyingly, and even as it throws a twist towards the end, there are so few characters here that you just don't give a damn about.” – Starburst Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Professor Marston & the Wonder Women (2017) 87% 8/10 EDIT “Maybe a bit too long in places, but there's no denying that Angela Robinson has made what is an excellent, yet ballsy movie.” – Starburst Mar 26, 2018 Full Review Requiem (2006) 86% 6/10 EDIT “In the end, Requiem is something of a disappointment.” – Starburst Mar 16, 2018 Full Review Tomb Raider (2018) 52% 7/10 EDIT “Tomb Raider certainly isn't a perfect movie and isn't quite the game-changer for video game films, yet it definitely isn't a bad attempt; sporting impressive action, creative visuals and Vikander's dynamic performance.” – Starburst Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Peter Rabbit (2018) 64% 3/10 EDIT “Peter Rabbit is not just one of the worst films to be released this year, but it's also a gigantic missed opportunity.” – Starburst Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Red Sparrow (2018) 45% 7/10 EDIT “No matter what you make of it, Red Sparrow is an odd, peculiar beast of a movie that, like its main protagonist, you don't really know what to make of it.” – Starburst Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Kickboxer: Retaliation (2018) 93% 5/10 EDIT “This film feels like watching a series of fight sequences that are loosely connected by a wafer thin plot.” – Starburst Mar 6, 2018 Full Review The LEGO NINJAGO Movie (2017) 56% 8/10 EDIT “This is still a solid LEGO movie with a great voice cast.” – Starburst Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Sweet Virginia (2017) 79% 7/10 EDIT “Despite its flaws, Sweet Virginia is a suspense-filled, tension-built thriller with a palpable sense of dread and gloom felt throughout that adds to the strong performances, as well as the drama.” – Starburst Jan 17, 2018 Full Review A Ghost Story (2017) 91% 8/10 EDIT “This movie makes you question what you would do if something this tragic happened to you, and how you would cope being this invisible, disembodied entity who can do nothing except watch life pass you by, and that rationalization is scary to imagine.” – Starburst Jan 4, 2018 Full Review House II: The Second Story (1987) 15% 6/10 EDIT “House II doesn't quite have anything similar to the strong performance of the original's Bill Katt anchoring the picture, but it still has plenty to make it a worthwhile follow-up that's definitely worth watching.” – Starburst Dec 14, 2017 Full Review
