MOVIE REVIEWS - 2016
2016 had some stunning success stories as far as Box Office was concerned. Perhaps the best was Deadpool. An R-rated, Comic Book-inspired, Action Comedy was not supposed to make over $700 million in ticket sales, but, with Ryan Reynolds as the titular character, that's exactly what happened. Quentin Tarantino also gave audiences his 8th film, with the blood-soaked Western-themed Thriller, The Hateful Eight. Batman, Superman and The Avengers all returned, as did Jason Bourne, the Ghostbusters and the Star Trek crew, but it was the back-end of 2016, with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Doctor Strange and the Fantastic Beasts pulling audiences in cinemas around the globe.

It was a great experience to meet one of contemporary movie making's most recognizable figures who turned out to be a pure joy to interview! |

There's a certain amount of "Meta" in the film's premise and the juxtaposition of a number of genre tropes show the film's makers - the Cairnes Brothers - know what they're doing. MORE... |

Hardcore Henry didn't get a wide theatrical release in Australia, which is a shame, because its such a unique piece of film making, to see it on a big screen could further enhance the experience or could be vomit-inducing due to the sheer madness of the constantly-on-the-go story! |
