  Phoenix Rising 2022

  ★★★★ Watched by Phil Hobden 05 Jul 2022

  Powerful and disturbing abuse documentary that finally dispels the myth of ‘icon’ Marilyn Manson…

  Crimes of the Future 2022

  ★★ Watched by Phil Hobden 28 Jun 2022

  Another day another 2022 film falling short… yup this time is David cronenberg’s return to body horror which plays off a first draft script, another hollow Léa Seydoux performance and with the pretentious dial turned up to 11… but typically like the lesser works of Jackson, Spielberg and many others the reviews seem to protect the film rather than deliver what should be a far more brutal feedback.

  Memory 2022

  ★★½ Watched by Phil Hobden 18 Jun 2022

  It’s a cheap shot to say but Memory is totally forgettable … another dull and mostly lifeless nail in the coffin of Liam Neeson's career. Taken feels a very long time ago…

  Top Gun: Maverick 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched by Phil Hobden 25 May 2022

  Top Gun: Maverick delivered. 

  It’s a proper blockbuster. Full of action, heart and welcome call backs to the original. It had a huge mountain to climb for me (Top Gun is one of my favourite films ) and it delivers on nearly every front. 

  In truth they don’t make films like this any more and it feels like a throw back before CGI made action weightless and soulless. It’s real poeple doing real things, a lot of which we’ve never…
