This is the final entry in my Infinity Saga Rewatch series, where I review Marvel's and Sony's "Spider-Man: Far From Home." Spoilers lay ahead.

In 2017 we were gifted with a hilarious dark comedy written by Brian Duffield & directed by McG, 'The Babysitter'! Starring the unbelievably talented & beautifully beautiful Samara Weaving who is beautiful & beautiful & also evil as the titular Babysitter. Can this sequel rekindle that same spark?

This is a non-spoiler review of “Mulan” starring Yifei Liu, Donnie Yen, Li Gong, and more!

After being dazzled by Christopher Nolan's latest feature 'Tenet', Benjamin Cox goes back to his breakout feature film and realises that Nolan is possibly the best director currently working anywhere. And has been for some time...

For a movie that seems like something stolen directly from The Hallmark Channel’s production room (right down to the casting of Hallmark mainstay Rachel Leigh Cook), Netflix’s new cheeseball rom-com Love, Guaranteed actually has a few things going for it (not the least of which is, in fact, Cook)...

Christopher Nolan is a masterclass writer/director; can he save the cinemas from financially collapsing with his latest feature? Will his new film be the greatest of all greats and great the greatest great of great films?! I mean... Why don't you lovely readers hop on in here and find out?

This is a non-spoiler review of "Project Power" starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dominique Fishback, and more!

Still riding high after her career making performance in 'Basic Instinct', Sharon Stone followed up one erotic thriller with another. Talk about typecasting! Benjamin Cox thinks lightning is unlikely to strike twice...

A retrospective look at 1998's "The Mask of Zorro."

Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' was the launch of the current DC cinematic universe, but was it a good one? It's been seven years now, so maybe a revisit is in order! Join me as I take a look at the good and not so good qualities that make up this origin story reboot.

I rank Zack Snyder's directorial films from best to worst.

This is a non-spoiler review of “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” starring Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams, Dan Stevens, and more!

"Friday The 13th: Vengeance" is an unofficial "fan film" that takes place after the events of 1986's "Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives."

This is a non-spoiler review of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and more!

Critically reviled and losing more money than a Donald Trump casino, this attempted reboot of a troublesome franchise was dead on arrival. But why is it so bad? Benjamin Cox conducts another autopsy.

Based on the 2013 Newberry Medal-winning children’s book by Katherine Applegate, The One and Only Ivan is the latest original offering from Disney+, and though it may prove a gentle diversion for kids (and parents) as the summer winds down, it has all the staying power of an August breeze...

Yes, kids, long ago there really was a place called Action Park. From 1978 to 1996, it attracted mainly teenagers primarily from the New York area to a quint little grassy knoll an hour outside of town in the northernmost part of New Jersey. The place was a no-holds-barred, largely unsupervised ...

The comic book movies of DC have made a turnaround lately with the fans, but things weren't looking so bright nearly a decade ago with the release of 2011's 'Green Lantern'. Is it possible that maybe we were too harsh? No. The answer is still no... But why don't we take a look as to why!

Rare is the film that gives Benjamin Cox an adrenaline rush immediately after viewing. And it's not just because COVID-19 had kept him waiting for this masterpiece from Christopher Nolan...

This a review and discussion of 20th Century Studios' long-delayed film, "The New Mutants." I try my best to avoid spoilers, but I make no promises. Take that as a warning.

This is a non-spoiler review of “We Summon the Darkness” starring Alexandra Daddario, Maddie Hasson, Johnny Knoxville, and more!

My analysis of the romantic drama.

The first female-led superhero film in years, this movie proved once and for all that such films could be successful at the box office. But is it any good? Benjamin Cox spins around quickly for a costume change and takes a look.

If you're pondering some career-related questions or just looking for a boost of inspiration, here are ten of the best career movies that might just give you what you need.

Take a couple of bankable stars, a directing duo whose last effort came out of nowhere to be considerably above average, and a premise that (at least on paper) has a decent amount of promise, and it would be hard to swing and miss, right? Netflix’s latest “original film” Project Power, however...

This is a non-spoiler review of “Desperados” starring Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp, Lamorne Morris, and more!

Amazing movies with only one actor who carries out the whole weight of the movie.

MIssing this space-set thriller in cinemas, Benjamin Cox wasn't about to make the same mistake twice when he bought it on home release. Trouble is, some films are meant to be watched on a big screen...

How much is too much for you to stop appreciating a former Hollywood favorite’s work once distasteful (or even criminal) revelations about him arise? Has The Usual Suspects and House of Cards been scratched from your watchlist in the wake of Kevin Spacey’s sexual assault charges?

This is a non-spoiler review of "Palm Springs" starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, and more!

My retrospective review of a sixteen-year-old film.

This is a review for Marvel's "Ant-Man and The Wasp," which contains spoilers for the film and the MCU as a whole. This is a continuation of a series in which I talk about the films of the Infinity Saga.

This is a comparison of Jack Ketchum's horror novel, "Offspring," and its film adaptation of the same name. Spoilers most likely lay ahead.

A retrospective look at 1985's classic, "Teen Wolf."

This is a non-spoiler review of “Knives Out” starring Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, and more!

For those not among the deep-dive Disney faithful, the name Howard Ashman may only spark the slightest hint of recognition, but if you were told he’s the man who wrote the lyrics to all the songs in The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, you may well light up like a Christmas tree...

Getting its release in the heart of summer during a global pandemic certainly doesn’t hurt director Jeffrey A. Brown’s debut feature The Beach House from feeling particularly timely and relevant. And though there are certainly a handful of decent scares and a solid, pervading air of uneasiness...

"Re-Animated" is a Cartoon Network television film that attempted mixing live-action and animation. It sounds conceptually interesting with spoofing Walt Disney and his characters. However, it is poorly executed with a cliched plot, weak humor, cheap animation and mean-spirited characters.

This is a review––more like a praising––of Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Infinity War." Opinions lay ahead, as well as spoilers. This is a continuation of a series in which I talk about the films of the Infinity Saga.

Ranking all of the main Star Wars films. This list will not include any TV shows or spinoff films such as Rogue One and Solo.

The Pool had a crazy buzz at Fantastic Fest, but took almost another year to be widely available for American audiences. It's cheap, poorly written, and amateurishly acted. The low grade CGI crocodile is absolutely the highlight.

1992's 'Candyman' is one of my favorite horror movies to come out of the 1990s! So how does the 1995 direct follow-up stack against its predecessor? Are we treated to more of what makes the titular horror villain so iconic or are we going downhill to the realm of crap? Hop on in and let's talk!

With racial tensions being what they are in the US right now, this 2016 documentary from director Ava DuVernay is worryingly prescient and deeply uncomfortable to watch. For Benjamin Cox, though, that is precisely why you need to watch this...

This is a review of Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok," which contains spoilers for the film and the MCU as a whole. This review is the continuation of a series in which I talk about the films of the unprecedented Infinity Saga.

A review of the thriller film "Fractured."

A review of the award-winning film, "American Beauty."

My positive review of the "Child's Play" reboot.

Martin Scorsese's pricey $160 million epic crime-drama starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, and Harvey Keitel is among Netflix's most watched originals.
