So, you haven’t seen Wayne’s World or, like Lee, it’s been so long that you don’t remember it? Well here’s the Two Drink Cinema preview, giving you all of the most basic information about the film so you don’t go in completely blind.
Commentary Sacrifices Story – Matrix: Resurrections
To say it’s the most disappointed we’ve been by a film this year is a big statement but this seems to be a case of more commentary than story.
Home Alone 1 & 2 – Holiday Hilarity and Head Injuries
On the surface, it’s great family fun. A slapstick comedy where a kid sets up fun booby traps to defend his home against two robbers. If you want to keep it in your mind as that fun-filled holiday romp then don’t read further, because the deeper you go the more it starts to lean towards proving Kevin grows up to be Jigsaw, exacting his judgement on sinners.
Dune (2021) – Another Attempt At An Epic
The latest attempt at making Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel into a film is aurally and visually stunning (and we don’t just mean Timothee Chalamet).
Christmas Movies Preview
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Here’s what Christmas movies we’re reviewing to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Santa Claus.
Compare the Pair – The Witches
We reviewed and compared The Witches 1990 and 2020. Nostalgia aside, it’s pretty clear to us which one comes out on top.
Halloween (1978) – The Worst Movie To Define A Genre
Halloween might be a genre-defining slasher film but deep down it’s low-budget B-grade horror flick.
Venom Suffers From Attempted Social Commentary
Venom is another movie that suffers from trying to make a comment on modern social issues and it takes away from a great action flick.
Hairspray Is The Horniest Family Movie Around
I didn’t realise until my most recent rewatch that Hairspray (2007) is a very horny movie, but somehow remains appropriate for families.

The New Cinderella Review
Kay Cannon’s new Cinderella movie challenges the antiquated trope of the usual fairytale storyline with strong messages of female empowerment and equality, however, it is somewhat forgettable as the overall silliness and pantomime feeling of...
Coming Attractions – September
What a month September was meant to be for cinematic releases in Australia. But, like everything in the last two years the September movie releases have been, well, stuffed basically, by Covid-19 and the restrictions that come along with it. If you’re a reader from basically any country other than Australia you can probably head to the cinema and see these films as scheduled. But here in Oz, we had to do a bit of guesswork. Several movies have been rescheduled and a number have been moved onto streaming services. Here’s what we’re looking forward to.
