A Medley Of Disjointed Ideas On the surface, Spenser Confidential has all the ingredients to be a fun, action-comedy romp. The dysfunctional duo, the quirky jokes, the deep-running conspiracy and twisting story with a big mystery are all here, ready to be mixed into an exciting flick. Unfortunately the execution lacks any sort of finesse, blurring into a messy medley of ideas that don’t gel well together. The story opens with officer Spenser being arrested and spending 5 years in prison....

The Spider-Man Film We Deserve Last summer I had the unfortunate task of watching The Emoji Movie at the cinema. An animation so sloppily handled and poorly produced it tarnished the reputation of Sony Pictures Animation. There’s always something poetic about a comeback story and when it comes to Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, the studio redeem themselves in a big way. Visually stunning and impressively crafted, this is not just one of the best animated flicks of the year, it’s also the best Spider-Man film produced to date....

Slipping From Reality Back for another dose of maniacal horror, Strangers From Hell returns for a more introverted episode this time around as we see the effect Eden Studio has had on Jong-Woo. With more tension and less outright horror, Strangers From Hell delivers another good episode, even if it’s not quite as dramatic as what we’ve seen before. We begin with Jong-Woo racing back to Eden Studio while Ji-Eun heads inside, only to be stopped by Bok-Soon who leads her by the hand further into the apartment building....

But for now, we see a vulnerable Wrigley on screen, one who gets cortisone injected in the knees for pain; the one who has to report to the counsellor to ask if he is eligible to play football owing to poor grades; and Wrigley with a learning disability. That is indeed the big takeaway. He is embarrassed to ask for extra minutes to write a test because he cannot read properly....

The beautiful isolated location will host them for the wild weekend to come. When he reaches the house, he is the target of casual racism from a “Karen” nearby. They’re new occupants but ideologically still in the 18th century when the colored couldn’t own property. He handles it with a smile, somehow, and proceeds to set up the house for his “friends”. In another wanton act of childish brazenness, we see Wrigley “shotgun” the master bedroom by stripping down and rubbing himself over the sheets....

Tell Me When It’s Over Tell Me When is a forgettable Mexican rom-com, missing ample doses of romance and comedy. It’s a movie that completely bungles a semi-interesting approach and lays its scenario on the screen in the most mundane and uninteresting way possible. The story revolves around the age old adage of not working too hard and appreciating the beauty of life. It’s a theme that’s been played out in this genre for years and Tell Me When is in no mood to buck the usual trends now....

But as is normal in any given year, there are those movies that just don’t cut it. These are the films that are likely to be nominated for a Razzie rather than an Oscar.

Below is our list of what we consider to be the worst of 2021 – but feel free to leave us a comment if we have missed out any movies that you think deserve to be on this list!...

Chapter 07: Sun A New World The world was divided into two states…until now. Welcome to the season 4 finale of The 3%. It’s been a wild ride up until this point but it all boils down to 75 minutes of action, drama and hidden truths. With the Offshore gone and the Shell all but a distant Utopian dream, all of our characters return to the Inland. Antonio greets Ariel and the others with warm applause as he tells the crowd that the Offshore will be rebuilt again....

Episode Guide Chapter 01: Cubes Chapter 02: Coins Chapter 03: Corridor Chapter 04: Gateway Chapter 05: Water Chapter 06: Glass Chapter 07: Capsule Chapter 08: Button Featuring a bleak, dystopian future and a Hunger Games-esque premise, Netflix’s first Brazilian show could be mistaken for simply playing copycat. Its low budget and recycled sets make it easy to dismiss but if you can see past this, there’s a lot to like with this show....
