                         ‘How you fuck a witch without a condom?’ – Marcus Burnett After 25 years of working together as detectives in Miami, Mike Lowrey feels as young as ever but his partner in crime Marcus Burnett is ready to retire. But with people out to kill Mike the duo work with special department, Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO) to bring them down. The Bad Boys and their supporting cast needed time to warm up. The beginning lines weren’t delivered well nor was the acting convincing. Reggie sounded so nervous delivering his lines. I know Marcus and Mike intimidated you before Reggie but you should be over that by now. Although the two bad boys did snap out of it their crew in AMMO never fully developed. Vanessa Hudgens needed to be written more lines because Kelly continually shaking her head in response to Lowrey as gun shots rang around her wasn’t good enough for me. Rafe being a douche to Mike for no ...

  On September 3 rd it was reported that Robert Pattinson had tested positive for Covid-19 and was beginning to self-isolate. This came within the first week that filming for The Batman was allowed to restart since the Coronavirus pandemic shutdown everything earlier this year. A still from The Batman teaser trailer  Despite all these bumps in the road, Pattinson is still set to be the 10 th actor to play the Caped Crusader, but will he be the last? Batman has made appearances on our screens since 1943 via a range of actors, many of whom only got to play Bruce Wayne once before departing from the franchise. The actor at the forefront isn’t the only aspect of the DC comic that has changed, but also the directors, aspects of Batman’s origin story and the actor behind the villains, including Batman’s most well-known opponent the Joker. Most recently, Joaquin Phoenix played the criminal mastermind in Joker (2019), to critical acclaim. Within that version though, it is su...

‘Running ain’t freedom. You know that.’ – Dom As someone with limited knowledge and interested in the Fast and Furious , I didn’t think highly of the franchise. With eight films out and two more in the works, it’s not hard to assume that quality isn’t their focal point. However,  Fast Five appears to be one of the better instalments from the speed racing franchise. In this film we are introduced to Dwayne Johnson’s character Luke Hobbs as he tracks down Dominic Toretto’s street racing crew to Brazil in order to arrest them for their crimes in America. Initially we are led to believe that Hobbs is a character that takes pride in the team around him since he handpicks Elena Neves as his translator because he believes she can’t be bought. We could even call him well informed, but when Neves presents her own reasoned and accurate insight to help track down Toretto and his family, her input is literally thrown away. This is the first instance that reduced Johnson’s character t...

Without any star studded or known characters and an overload of fast unskilful driving, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift is the directionless third part of the lucrative franchise. Due to getting into trouble with the police yet again Sean Boswell is sent to Tokyo to live with his father. Quickly, he gravitates towards the street racing scene in Japan and ends up on the wrong side of a notorious gang. After waiting for half an hour to see a familiar face, I gave up realising that Lucas Black’s unconvincing portrayal of a high school student was all I was going to get. Even Bow Wow’s funny and stereotypical character wasn’t enough for me to enjoy the film or take any interest in its protagonists. Street driving takes back the focus that was lost to crime fitting in 2 Fast 2 Furious but becomes uninteresting, once learning that Sean’s skillset only consists of accelerating and destroying vehicles. We then go on to see his journey to becoming a drifter, which  is primarily s...

‘A him gets noticed, a her gets ignored and for once we want to be ignored.’ – Debbie Ocean A few months ago, I had binged watched Ocean’s 11, 12 & 13 and the franchise quickly rose and dropped from one of my favourites; however I was still more than intrigued to see the new sequel to the film. I must admit I’m not necessarily on board with the new idea of remaking films with an all female cast to create equality but as Ghostbusters (2016) was quite an entertaining film and the cast includes a plethora of notable women, I stilled wanted to see it.   The film was quite good, providing an unlikely group of con artists, continuously out smarting the audience and evoking at lot of laughter in the jam packed cinema. Regardless of gender Warner Bros. Pictures has been able to bring together a cast with a lot of star power to the screen and I liked seeing people like Mindy Kaling in somewhat of a different role. There were also many celebrity cameos that I feel really adde...
