Welcome…to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom that is! The sequel to the $1.6 billion-dollar box office taking Jurassic World (whispers…reboot) has arrived and hits NZ Cinemas today. There’s plenty of haters out there in the movie reviewing community and the wider movie viewing audience, that consider themselves cerebral and highbrow, that wanna dino poo-poo all over […]
Avengers Infinity War blasts into NZ Cinemas this Anzac Day April 25th and culminates 10 incredible years of Marvel Studios movie-making and an egotistical, slightly troubled and very attractive, dysfunctional family of characters that we’ve all grown to love.

Ingrid Goes West released on DVD in NZ on March 21st is a solid dark-comedy thriller with a hefty helping of creepiness thanks to the excellent and at times unhinged Ingrid, delivered by indie movie ace Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation’s April, Safety Not Guaranteed). Ingrid Goes West is fun and playful but often dips […]
