#55 Antboy: Revenge of the Red Fury

Back in 2015 I reviewed the Danish super-hero film Antboy: a truly awful Superhero movie featuring unlikable protagonists, a growly villain, exceptionally slow pacing and reference to much better stories I could’ve been reading instead. I said at the time I wasn’t going to review the sequel but… I’m reviewing the sequel. Hey, we don’t have to worry about the origin now, maybe it can be better, right…

Sequel Baiting #6 - Charlie's Angels vs Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle


Time for something for little less serious. There have been hundreds of takes on the spy genre, but none scream girl power quite like Charlie’s Angels. Based on the 80s TV show, Charlie’s Angels followed 3 sexy spies doing missions for their faceless man known as Charlie. I’ve not seen the show, but I’ve seen the movies… Oh, have I seen the movies. Although the show was ultimately cancelled due to low ratings, Charlie’s Angels has gained a bit of a cult following, can’t imagine why *cough*boobs*cough* spawning the creation of Charlie’s Angels in 2000 and Full Throttle in 2003. (Also a 2011 revival series and a 2019 remake *sigh*) critically and commercially, the first comes out on top, but we’re not here to look at what other people think.

Time for a series of mini reviews that may not make the light of day until September. Happy September if that is the case. But let’s talk about the Merc with the mouth, Deadpool. At time of writing, which is in November 2017, a teaser trailer for Deadpool 2 has just released, and it’s funny as hell.

Let’s start off with the sequel to the Marvel Netflix original series, this is season 2 of Daredevil.

Mini Review: Doctor Who - Twice Upon a Time

So, it’s that time of year again, it’s been about a month since the Doctor Who special graced our screens and my review of it was inevitable. What might surprise you is this being a mini review and I do have a reason beyond being lazy, although that might factor in a bit.


But this is a very special Christmas special, not only have we got a crossover with the first doctor, not only is it Capaldi’s regeneration story, but it’s also a goodbye to Stephen Moffat as he bows out of Doctor Who. Does this hold up to those very high standards? Here are my thoughts
