My Review of "The Magnificent Seven (2016)
The Magnificent Seven (2016) was the modern update I didn't think I wanted. Technically it's still not what I want but I can see what they did right with this one. There is an older version of this movie that came out in 1960 and I think I saw that one when I was younger. Ultimately it's a retread of the Seven Samurai (1954). That was a classic that I've grown to become too impatient for.

My Review of "Prey"
Prey is a new Predator movie that is only available through streaming. Currently it is available for Disney Plus. There wasn't much promotion of this movie but I think there should have been. The epic nature of the film really calls for a theatrical release but unfortunately it didn't get one. I for one would still go to the theatre to watch this despite having already seen it on streaming.

My Review of "The Orville: Season 3"
The Orville: Season 3 has finally dropped on Disney Plus for streaming. I was really worried that this series had been cancelled. There wasn't much word of this TV show shortly after the pandemic and I thought it was cancelled. Low and behold this beautiful season was finally released and it was so much fun.

My Review of "Bullet Train"
Bullet Train is a new blockbuster movie that came out in 2022. The best way to describe it is a mystery action film. Don't pay too much attention to details and you will be able to have fun with this movie. However it isn't with its shortcomings either. For cinephiles out there, you'll recognize a lot of movies this movie takes inspiration from.

Film Review: Elvis
Before I talk about the film, I want to mention that I spent a lot of time with my grandad growing up. He is now eighty-three and much to my heart-ache did not want to come to the cinema with me to see this biopic with me due to the news that he watches four times a day, terrifying him, about Covid-19 cases, monkey-pox, muggers, murderers and generally saying what a scary place the world is.

Prey Movie Review
The iconic but often neglected Predator has ran into serious trouble recently. After the mess of 2018’s The Predator, the series is taking a cautious approach on Hulu and Disney+. The new small-scale release from Dan Trachtenberg ends up being a powerfully effective piece; one destined to rejuvenate the IP and overcome the doubters.

Bullet Train Movie Review
After making his debut with the impactful John Wick, director David Leitch has swerved into more bloated action productions. Bullet Train tips itself as the next big action-comedy; instead it is dragged down by a hackneyed story and weak characters.

Prey rejuvenates the series.
Predator as a series is one of those films that defines the era it was released. It truly is a movie that is good for the time period it was released in. Now what Prey, the latest in the series, is trying to do is add modern visuals and a new premise to a series that has somewhat lost its way over the years.

My Review of "Independence Day: Resurgence"
Independence Day: Resurgence is the sequel to the massively popular movie Independence Day. I've been a fan of the original movie for quite some time and I believe I watched this sequel when it first came out back in 2016. I didn't remember too much about it but I did remember I didn't like it for some reason. With an itch to watch it I finally got to see why I didn't remember it that well.
