When someone mentions films based on the works of Stephen King normally your mind goes straight to the classic horror films – It, Carrie, Pet Semetary, etc. People seem to forget that King’s work has also been responsible for cinematic masterpieces like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Now another film need to be added to that second list because The Long Walk is sheer cinematic brilliance.

When people talk about modern day revenge action films they seem to go straight to John Wick or Taken. Everybody seems to forget about the little gem called Nobody that landed in 2021. While the other two franchises had Hollywood A-list star power behind them Nobody made the unlikely Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) an action hero who truly appealed to the everyday audience member.

One of the powers of cinema is the way that it is able to put audience members through a range of different emotions. We all cried when Bambi realised that his mother had died and we all celebrated when The Death Star was destroyed. What is not normal though is the emotionally journey that brand new romantic drama Materialists puts you through while watching it.

There seems to be a misconception that there were no good Marvel movies before the arrival of the Iron-Man films that started the whole Avengers franchise. That certainly isn’t the case – there were some decent Spider-Man movies starring Tobey Maguire and two Fantastic Four films starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans that seem to be forgotten about by the average cinema goer.

One of the strange things I have noticed these days is that most film critics expect nearly every film to either make a powerful political or social statement, be new or different, or, to put it simply, be a masterpiece. Many seem to have forgotten the fact that it is okay for movies to be just fun and entertaining.

There was once a time in Hollywood when an actor hanging off a town clock by ropes was considered an epic stunt. Then came the Western genre actors who could throw themselves off a galloping horse without hurting themselves.

Many people have been critical of Disney’s decision to turn some of their classic animated films into live-action movies but to be honest I have never seen the issue with it. The Lion King probably set everything up the whole idea with its marvellous re-working looking amazing with the modern CGI technology.
