Our Take On... Trolls World Tour
The first Trolls movie had a fair amount of cynicism around it. Coming in the wake of “The Lego Movie”, it initially ...

Our take on... Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker
While it may not be to the taste of all the fans of the series (what is?) “The Rise of Skywalker” is a satisfying end to a saga that started in 1977. It’s a non-stop, straight forward, old fashioned adventure film that has the feel of the original trilogy, rather than the complicated politics of the prequel trilogy...

Our take on... Frozen II
As with “Toy Story 4” from a couple of months ago, I haven’t seen this film as at the time of writing, but luckily my 8 year old daughter Lilliana has, and she was more than happy to take the time from her busy schedule to sit down with me and answer some questions I have about the film...

Our take on... Spider-Man: Far From Home
The first film in the post “Endgame” era of the MCU marks the end of “Phase 3” in the series and serves as an extended epilogue in the story of Peter Parker following the events of the aforementioned “Endgame”...

Our (7 yr old's) take on... Toy Story 4
Full disclosure; I haven’t seen this film yet. My seven year old, however, has. So instead of just flub my way through on something I haven’t seen, I decided I would ask her instead...

Our take on... The Secret Life of Pets 2
“The Secret Life of Pets 2” is a thoroughly enjoyable animated comedy that makes great use of its all star voice cast, especially the two newcomers in Harrison Ford and Tiffany Haddish...

Our take on... Aladdin
While the film does feel a bit stagey at times, the musical numbers really pop with colour and excitement, the costumes look amazing and the live action sets are very impressive...

Our take on... Dumbo
The Disney live action remake bandwagon rolls on, with “The Lion King” having just hit cinemas and “Dumbo” arriving on home video (yes, I’m *that* old) this Friday. While the original story of the flying elephant was a short, charming film that changed the fortunes of Walt Disney Studios in the midst of World War II, this version comes at the time where Disney have no such financial woes and are able to stretch their creative muscles...

Our take on... PIXAR's best!
With “Toy Story 4” hitting cinemas on the 21st of June, it’s a good time to look back at what Pixar has achieved in the twenty four years since the original “Toy Story” was released...

Our take on... How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
In the same year that Dreamworks seemingly wrapped up their big money spinner of the time in “Shrek”, even they couldn’t have predicted that the original “How to Train Your Dragon”, released the same year, would take its place financially and critically. Each of the “Dragon” films has been as warmly received as the last, and this film, the third and seemingly the last in the series, is no different...

Our take on... The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
Everything is most certainly not awesome for the heroes of the fist Lego movie, a surprise hit from a few years ago, as this film picks up exactly where the original left off; the arrival of the Lego Duplo to the world of Emmet and Wildstyle...
