Яeverse Review from a Different Dimension: DREDD

A quick throwback review from one of my favourite films of last year – DREDD! This is the prequel to Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed “Dark Knight” series. Although very different visually, it’s narrative stays dark and serious much like the original trilogy.

Actor Karl Urban plays Batman’s great grandfather - Kenneth Wayne. The story follows a young Kenneth Wayne trying to earn his superhero license. Unfortunately for our young hero, he has no powers and soon becomes the joke of his fellow superhero trainees consisting of Nacho Libre, Mr. Incredible, Blankman, The Blue Raja and their leader The Shoveler.

Яeverse Review from a Different Dimension: KICK-ASS 2

KICK-ASS 2, not the most appropriate title for a children’s animated film (the number in the title being the most offensive thing to me) but is that any reason to judge it? I’m going to tell you no; despite the name KICK ASS 2 delivers what is one of the most imaginative and charming visuals and narrative since Monsters, Inc.

Яeverse Review from a Different Dimension: Elysium

Elysium. Yet another movie letdown in 2013’s bucket. The films synopsis follows a poor chimney-sweeper named Matt (Played by Matt) in the year 1254, in an interesting and original take, on how we developed into the modern society we live into today. In this movie universe, planet earth is a desolate wasteland and its inhabitants have been divided into two colonies. The first colony struggle to survive in this wasteland, whilst the second live in luxury on a spaceship-like haven; just below the earth’s atmosphere, called Elysium. Matt has one goal - to break into Elysium and cure his Cancer and Aids ridden body, using the medical beds, which can cure any disease known to man.  

Яeverse Review from a Different Dimension: Only God Forgives

From the minds of what was easily 2011's only saving grace in the motion picture department; comes Only God Forgives. A film being undeservedly ushered out of our cinemas in order to make room for Hollywood's ever growing roster of disappointments; such as Grown Ups 2 (it has a 2 in the title so we should all know better). Films being released today which so much as resemble something with an artistic merit, are spending about as much time on the screens as a traveler in a south London comprehensive. As unjust as that fact may be; it simply means you'll have to invest in either a DVD/Bluray/iTunes purchase in order to watch it, and watch it you should.
