New Decade, New Me - A Plea For Forgiveness
As a new decade begins, I would like to both thank you all for continuing to read my reviews and support my page and also sincerely apologise for posting so few reviews last year. With an increasingly precocious two year old daughter, a new job and the continued acceleration of time, I have barely had a chance to go to the cinema to see a fraction of the new releases. Not to say that 2019 didn’t have some great movies as can be seen by my top 10 of 2019 listed below. However, it cannot be denied that it is far from a comprehensive list and I do wish that I could have seen more to really make it a definitive countdown.
That being said, I still love watching films and writing reviews and I intend to go into the next decade with a heaping helping of new posts and lists. Over the next few weeks, I hope to have reviews up for the majority of this years awards contenders as well as some of the more interesting movies of 2019 such as 'Crawl', 'IT : Chapter 2', 'John Wick 3 : Parabellum' and 'Child's Play'. So once again, thank you for your support, sorry for lack of activity on the site, have a very Happy New Year and let's hope for a fun and prosperous 2020. Last of all, here are my top 10 films of 2019:
1) Rocketman
2) Avengers Endgame
3) The Favourite
4) Can You Ever Forgive Me?
5) Booksmart
6) Stan & Ollie
7) Joker
8 ) Shazam!
9) Us
10) Godzilla : King Of The Monsters

Serenity
SERENITY
Director : Steven Knight
Year : 2019
Genre : Thriller
Rating : 1/2*
He may have earned awards and critical plaudits for his terrific work over the past 10 years of cinema but with the release of 'Serenity', Matthew McConaughey's meteoric rise has finally plummeted back down to Earth with an audible snigger. Following on from the trio of box-office bombs that were 'Gold', 'Free State Of Jones' and most recently, 'The Dark Tower', 'Serenity' sees the one-time rom-com mainstay turned Academy Award winner delivering his worst performance in quite some time and, in the process, driving home the final rusty nail in the coffin of what the media once dubbed the ''McConaissance''. Part 'Moby Dick', part erotic thriller and all garbage, 'Serenity' tells the hugely underwhelming story of a chainsmoking, rum swigging tuna fisherman (McConaughey) who is tasked by his ex-wife (Anne Hathaway) to murder her abusive new husband (Jason Clarke). For the most part, the film is just merely boring, with the entirety of the cast delivering director/screenwriter Steven Knight's dialogue with all the enthusiasm of a secondary school supply teacher. However, it is when the movie reaches it's stupendously stupid third act that 'Serenity' reveals it's nonsensical ''twist'' and firmly stamps it's place as one of the absolute worst movies of the entire decade. Bewilderingly bad in almost every conceivable manner, 'Serenity' is surely destined to stand alongside 'Troll 2', 'Birdemic : Shock & Terror' and 'The Room' in the pantheons of cinema's most calamitous disasterpieces.
