Blu-ray Review: AMERICAN ASSASSIN Is A Fun But Unoriginal Actioner

A tough-as-nails actioner, American Assassin is an enjoyable, if cliched thriller starring Dylan O’Brien as author Vince Flynn’s literary hero Mitch Rapp. Coming across like Jack Ryan’s brawnier cousin, it features a lot of violent action and [...]

TRUE DETECTIVE Season 3 Continues To Shape Up; Stephen Dorff Joins The Cast

Guy Ritchie’s KING ARTHUR Calamity Flops At The Box Office

Movies In Focus was tough on Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword from the start. Ritchie’s style was never suited to this type of film and star Charlie Hunnam just isn’t leading man material. Ritchie barely managed to make his [...]

You Get The Show You Deserve: Defending TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2

Nic Pizzolatto ripped apart the conventions of the detective story and rebuilt it from the ground up with the first season of True Detective. Not only did it feature ridiculously powerful performances from Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, [...]

Truly Tantalising Trailer For TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2

True Detective was one of the best things to ever air on television. It was a phenomenal show with superb writing and incredible performances. I don’t think anyone expects the second series to be as good, but Movies in Focus has faith in [...]

TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2 Teaser Trailer: Will The Magic Remain?

True Detective was one of the greatest things to ever grace television – it had the quality and mood of an 8 hour movie. That was partly down to Cary Fukunaga’s direction, the performances and chemistry of Matthew McConaughey and Woody [...]

A Glimmer Of Hope For Johnny Depp And THE LONE RANGER

I’ve been harsh on Johnny Depp lately, but it’s only because I hate to see a good artist slide into paycheck induced mediocrity (I’d also like to see producer Jerry Bruckheimer get back on track, but that’s another matter). However, the [...]

New JOHN CARTER Images; Will It Offer Something New?

Disney’s John Carter is something of a gamble; it’s based on a property that’s 100 years old, which most people (except hardcore fans) haven’t heard of. To exacerbate things, the character, themes and settings of the source [...]
