The Lego Batman Movie - Review

 

   Animation is a tricky business. For a genre that’s largely associated with being “for kids”, it’s often hard to generate appeal for a larger audience. But throw in Batman and the nostalgic of LEGOs and it’s hard to ignore The Lego Batman Movie. The mass appeal of animation has only been truly mastered by Pixar, but what Warner Brothers and LEGO have done with their first two films is really exciting for their future.

John Wick: Chapter 2 - Review

   One of the biggest surprise hits of 2014, the original film, John Wick, gained enough critically and financially to earn a sequel. From that film coming out of nowhere to John Wick: Chapter 2 being one of the most anticipated films of 2017 is quite a far leap and pretty high expectations to live up to.
