Free Guy. Film Review.

The inevitable love child of The Truman Show and Tron, with more than a little help in being raised by the house of mouse; and yet despite having the backing, the insight and imagination, as well as the decades in the advancement in studio techniques to pull of such a daring story, Free Guy does not have the same appeal to all as its more illustrious parents had when they first hit the cinema screens.  

Deadpool 2. Film Review.

In the land of the sequel, the audience is normally attuned to the fact that by and large the film will be below par, sometimes disastrously with a plot that was based on profit potential, sometimes just out of plain high expectation, but the result will be the same, that like most films, the sequel is never in the same class as the original.

It has been mooted, suggested beyond all possible doubt in some quarters, that there simply are no new ideas out there, that everything is basically a re-hash, a do-over, a chance for art to keep repeating itself over and over again. Whilst this may be in some cases a false premise, that the world will always find an interesting new angle in which to demonstrate the greatest of humanity’s crowning glory, imagination, in many ways the doom laden soothers are right, there is nothing new under the sun and by poking at the impossible creature, we are not exactly creating new Life, we are sucking the soul out of it.
