Film Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021)

Film Review: Gamera the Brave (2006)
As the reboot trilogy came to an end with 1999’s Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, it seemed as if we’d seen the last of our rocket-powered turtle guardian. However, seven […]

Film Review: Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (1996)

Film Review: Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995)
After the disastrous 1980 entry in the Gamera series – Gamera: Super Monster – which was little more than an hour and a half of clips, along with some truly […]

Film Review: Gamera vs Viras (1968)
By this stage, the Gamera films must have felt like a real annual event as they were being released in Japan. The fourth film since 1965’s first entry, Gamera vs […]

Cheap kaiju quickie Gamera, the Giant Monster (which I have reviewed) was a reasonable hit for film studio Daiei in 1965, so they wasted no time in getting a sequel […]
Film Review: Gamera, the Giant Monster (1965)
Ever since I first saw the Godzilla movies in the early 90s – when Channel 4 in the UK used to show a different one every Friday night – I’ve […]
Film Review: Mulan (2020)
I was 21 when the original, animated Mulan movie was released; far too cool for those Disney cartoons. They’re for kids, right? It’d take until the release of Tarzan in […]
