Well if you head on over to Soda & Telepaths you’ll find out that I went and wrote a big long recap of the latest Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode, just in time for you to catch up before the new one (aren’t I lovely?)
Sound of Metal (2020) – The Hills Are Alive
Released: 4th December 2020
Seen: 28th March 2021
So it’s finally getting towards the most average time of a film critics year, the month before Oscars come out when we have to play catch up on movies that we missed so that we can take part in the cinematic discourse of which films are the best films of this weird, weird year.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier S01E01 Review and Recap
So the new thing I’m doing over on Soda & Telepaths is recapping and reviewing the hit series The Falcon and Winter Soldier, because I need more things to write about apparently.
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) – Not a Drag-on
Released: 19th February
Seen: 17th March
Once again Disney has done a weir business thing that only Disney could probably get away with, time once again to deal with the issue of the Premier Access where Disney expects an extra 30 bucks on top of their current streaming price in order to vide a movie, in this case Raya and the Last Dragon. They did this recently with Mulan (interesting how it’s only been the films with mostly Asian casts that get this treatment, not sure what that says but it’s an interesting trend) and back then I couldn’t justify it… I also couldn’t really justify this, but it was also in a local cinema and I genuinely believe that’s the best way to properly enjoy the visual spectacle of Raya and the Last Dragon

Blood Moon (2021) – The Moon Is Big Outside
Oh lookie, another day and another Soda & Telepaths review, this time off the upcoming episode of Hulu’s Into The Dark series (which looks like a cool series that I need to catch up on somehow, cos the only way this Aussie could see any of it was somehow getting a review copy). Anyway, ENJOY
Justice League – The Snyder Cut (2021) – Here We Bloody Go Again
Released: 18th March
Seen: 18th March
So it has come to this. On March 18th in 2021, as a result of years of campaigning under the hashtag “Release the Snyder Cut”, WB finally decided to release the Snyder Cut of the Justice League film. Now, here’s the funny thing about that, as a critic my opinion means precisely jack shit regarding this film.

Slaxx (2021) – Out of Jeans
Soda & Telepaths hooked me up with a screener of the movie Slaxx, which is about Killer Jeans… go read me flailing about this amazing insane movie
Lava (2021) – Hot Outside
Oh look, another thing I wrote for Soda & Telepaths about a weird experimental animated film. Go over and read, I think it’s Lava-ly.
…I’ll show myself out now
Coming 2 America (2021) – Trip Down Memory Lane
Released: 5 March
Seen: 5th March
It might seem weird to the younger generation who only know him as the voice of Donkey from Shrek but back in the 80s it seemed like Eddie Murphy could do no wrong. After his sensational turn on SNL he took over the cinema landscape. For pretty much the entire 80s, if you saw Eddie Murphy’s name on the poster then you were guaranteed a great time. His movies weren’t just hits, they were juggernauts.

Bring Down The Walls (2020) – Another Brick In The Walls
Seen as part of the Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival (Online Screening)
The Prison Industrial Complex is a topic that’s been touched on by many truly fascinating documentaries for a reason, it’s an obscenely messed up system that is often used capriciously against POC and queer people who are just trying to live their lives. In the US it’s particularly awful, they have the largest number of prisoners on the planet and it’s disproportionately people of colour (largely black and Latin men).
