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.

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.

Cured (2020) – An Important Piece Of History
Seen as part of the Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival (Online Screening)
In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association took a vote to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. It was one of the most controversial votes that the board would ever have since homosexuality had been considered a mental illness since the first DSM was printed in 1952. With homosexuality being labelled a mental illness, it was able to be used as an excuse to deny employment or housing or basic rights to an entire class of people. This led to some of the most brutal torture ever done in the name of mental health, and a story that the film Cured tells brilliantly.
