Bring Her Back Review

1 week ago | cgmagonline.com | Shakyl Lambert

Grief is a feeling that hurts all the same, but one that everyone reacts to differently. Some days we seek some form of deeper meaning behind a loss, others may simply feel a quiet longing to speak to that loved one again, and some completely fall apart. In the case of Danny and Michael Phillipou’s new film, Bring Her Back, that third reaction can lead to something significantly more sinister.

Thunderbolts* Review

1 month ago | cgmagonline.com | Shakyl Lambert

On paper, you’d be forgiven for thinking Thunderbolts was Marvel’s attempt to emulate the “supervillains go good” premise DC explored in its two Suicide Squad films. However, it takes a notably different approach from the standard superhero team-up formula, with mostly positive results. For the past several years, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) has been carrying out covert operations under CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) private company, the OXE Group.
Sinners Review - CGMagazine

1 month ago | cgmagonline.com | Shakyl Lambert

Over the last 12 years, since director Ryan Coogler burst on the scene with indie drama Fruitvale Station, he has quickly become a director whose name is synonymous with delivering character-driven blockbusters. Still, between Creed and the two Black Panther films, it’s always been on the back of pre-existing IP– or in Fruitvale’s case, a real-life event.

Warfare Review - CGMagazine

1 month ago | cgmagonline.com | Shakyl Lambert

Co-writers and directors Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s new film Warfare is a war movie that forgoes character development, thematic subtext or overt political messaging. The film opens with a title card that doubles as both tagline and mission statement: “Everything here is based on memory.” Its sole aim is to be a note-for-note recreation of a singular, harrowing day in combat, pieced together from the real accounts of U.S. troops who were there—including Mendoza himself.

A Working Man Review

The Beekeeper was not only one of last year’s most fun surprises, but it also marked a return to form for both Jason Statham and director David Ayer. It worked out so well that the duo immediately teamed up on another film less than a year later. The end result is not a Beekeeper sequel, but rather A Working Man—an adaptation of the Chuck Dixon novel Levon’s Trade.
