Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere - FilmJuice
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere - FilmJuice
I should caveat this review of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere with the admission that I am a die hard Bruce Springsteen fan. All the albums, numerous tours, read most of the books, Bruce is The Boss to me. And it is for that reason that I avoided Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. Because I wasn’t sure it was a film I needed or wanted. Bruce will always hold a special place in my heart and as such I worried this film could taint that. The marketing for it made you wonder if this is going to be a puff
Minority Report
Minority Report
There is always something exciting about a huge film star teaming up with a big name director and they don’t get much more famous than Tom Cruise and bigger than Steven Spielberg. In 2002, when arguably both Cruise and Spielberg were at their zenith, they teamed first for Minority Report and would then return with War of The Worlds. The latter is one of Cruise’s more interesting roles but with Minority Report you are firmly in Cruise’s iconic action-man persona. Based on the short story by Philip K. Dick (he of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, aka Blade Runner,

Gladiator II - FilmJuice
In an alternate timeline there exists a version of Gladiator II that sees Russel Crowe’s Maximus travel to the afterlife to go full God Of War in his attempt to get back to his loved one. It might sound outlandish but the script exists, and was written by none other than Nick Cave. Naturally something as far removed from the original wasn’t going to fly, so instead we’re back in the hands of original director Ridley Scott as he once more asks if you’re not entertained at the bloodshed in the colosseum. When his wife is killed by the invading

Trainspotting - FilmJuice
Britpop, Beanie Babies, Britney Spears, the rise of the Internet and Trainspotting. These were the things that were essential zeitgeist in the 1990s. And the most bizarre thing is that Trainspotting hadn’t necessarily been seen by the youth of the day but they were surrounded by it. Thanks mainly to a brilliantly designed poster that adored most teenage and student bedrooms, Trainspotting became symbolic of the era. An in your face film with a killer soundtrack and a style of filmmaking that set out to go against the grain. Adapting Irvine Welsh’s novel, Trainspotting follows a group of friends living

A Quiet Place: Day One - FilmJuice
2018’s A Quiet Place was something of a surprise hit thanks to its brilliantly inventive horror concept. A Quiet Place: Day One takes that same simple concept and does something unexpected and hugely refreshing. Taking place before the events of the first two Quiet Place films – hence the Day One title – we follow Samira (Lupita Nyong’o) a woman living in a hospice and preparing for the inevitable. Venturing into New York to go to the theatre she finds herself in a meteor shower that brings with it the monsters who hunt by sound. With the city in ruins
Alien: Romulus - FilmJuice
Alien: Romulus - FilmJuice
Alien: Romulus is the seventh film in the Alien franchise (not including the Alien Vs Predator films – we don’t count those, sorry). At this point you would be forgiven for assuming that there is little left in the Xenomorphs to explore and while Alien: Romulus does not break new ground, it does manage to bring some fun new mechanics to the franchise. As he did with his Evil Dead remake/reboot in 2013, director Fede Alvarez knows how to dive into an existing franchise to offer not necessarily a fresh approach but certainly one that will appeal to a modern
Inside Out 2 - FilmJuice
Inside Out 2 - FilmJuice
Pixar’s output has for a while now been a little hit and miss. For every amazing Soul there was an underwhelming Lightyear. Returning to previous successes has also been a mixed bag because outside of the Toy Story franchise most Pixar sequels are less impressive than their originals. So where does Inside Out 2 sit in comparison to the first film. In short; it’s brilliant. Like the original Inside Out, Inside Out 2 is a deep dive into human psychology. Every emotion, every memory, every joke and every beat resonate so achingly hard because they’re what we all feel. The

Barbie - FilmJuice
In a year that has seen multiple superheroes crash at the box office no one would have guessed it would take a toy adaptation in the form of Barbie and The Father of The Atomic Bomb, Oppenheimer, to restore some faith in the cinematic experience. But that is exactly where we are. And while the latter is clearly an Oscar-baiting opus the bigger surprise is just how brilliant and relevant Barbie is. Now getting its full home release it is a film that unquestionably will reward repeat viewings. Living happily in Barbieland, Barbie (Margot Robbie) soon begins to have thoughts
Top Gun: Maverick Review
Top Gun: Maverick Review
Top Gun: Maverick is unquestionably one of the most exhilarating cinematic experiences not just this year but in recent memory. What Tom Cruise and director Joseph Kosiniski created in the visual prowess of the flight sequences in the film are, to say the least, jaw-dropping. So does it hold up on the home viewing format? When Maverick (Cruise) is assigned back to Top Gun to train a group of young pilots for a deadly mission he must confront the ghosts of his past in the form of his former co-pilot Goose’s son Rooster (Miles Teller). As it becomes clear this
