There are many people that bemoan the state of Hollywood at the moment. These critics aren't completely wrong. 2016 was a prime example of this. A year full of tired sequels, remakes and interesting concepts reduced to outdated tropes (Passengers, you can take an awkward bow for that one). But sometimes you need to focus less on the bad and more on the good, because it is there. We're just not paying attention. Arrival is a good example of something fresh. Yes, we've seen cou

I forgot this came out. Probably not a good sign. Nothing of note to talk about. Probably not a good sign either. Just feels pretty irrelevant.

Characters just float about doing stuff with no real motivation which might be okay if the characters were remotely likeable but there's nothing to like about them. They're charmless, grumpy, arrogant arseholes. Every single one. Reviewers seemed to praise Wonder Woman but she spends most of the film being quiet in a nice dress at parties or frownin
