'Between Worlds' - A Review (Netflix)
Nicolas Cage is one of the most watchable actors of his generation. Part of the famous Coppola dynasty, Cage’s performances on screen have ranged from the extraordinary to the ludicrous and everything in between. A veteran of nearly 100 films, Cage’s role choices and approach to performance seem to reflect his wild and crazy life.

'Viking Destiny'—A Review (Netflix)
Let’s talk about the title. Viking Destiny. Viking. Destiny. Not A Viking’s Destiny or Destiny of the Viking. Viking Destiny. Is it about the destiny of the Viking people? Well, it sort of is. Let me explain, even if it does not explain, satisfactorily, the terrible title.

'Alien Warfare'–A Review (Netflix)
It was calling me; when a film registers two point four on IMDB, it is begging to be reviewed. Begging I tell ya! The opening credits, which looked like they were knocked up on a budget PC, are woeful. They are, mercifully, short. Unfortunately, the film begins. Whoa, it’s terrible. I am writing this as I watch the film and it’s painful.

'Unicorn Store' - A Review (Netflix)
If you are a fan of the MCU (like me), and watch a lot of the press and promotional stuff online, in the run-up to an upcoming release, you may have noticed an unlikely friendship develop between a couple of the MCU's biggest stars.

'The Silence' - A Review (Netflix)
How did Stanley Tucci end up in this? He needs to speak to his agent. Not that the rest of the cast cannot act, they undoubtedly can. John Corbett—a name not as well known as Tucci’s, but an actor whose face you will know—has appeared in far better fare than this, and also should be speaking to his agent.

The Trap–a Review (Netflix)
It must seem like I try to find awful films to review. Honestly, I really do not. Unfortunately, I decided to watch "The Trap." Where to start, where to start. I am writing this as I watch the film, because there is no other way I could finish watching it otherwise.

'The Breaker Upperers' A Review
Mel (Madeleine Sami) and Jen (Jackie Van Beek) are a couple of friends who run The Breaker Upperers, providing a service for individuals who are too afraid to break up with their partners or spouses in person. It is all going swimmingly until they get a job from a young, sweet guy, Jordan (James Rolleston) who Mel is attracted to.

Oh, Danny Boy, the Racism Is Calling
Full disclosure: I am an Arsenal fan. For those who are not into football (soccer to our American cousins), even though the game here is played predominantly with the feet! Arsenal football club and team, like any team in sport worldwide, has a nemesis. That nemesis is their near neighbours, Tottenham Hotspurs.

The Darkness Came Later
The final X-Men film under 20th Century Fox films will be released early in June before the rights to the characters are absorbed into the MCU juggernaut. Simon Kinsberg gets a final chance to erase the debacle that was The Last Stand. Kinsberg wrote The Last Stand, with directing duties going to Brett Ratner.
