Greta Gerwig’s directional debut hit me like a tonne of bricks and whilst it’s a perfect telling of modern-day teenage experiences it does have its nags. Marion McPherson (Laurie Metcalfe), a nurse, works tirelessly to keep her family afloat after her husband loses his job. She also maintains a turbulent bond with a teenage daughter…
Escape Plan 2 is bad. It’s not b-movie “so bad it’s good”, it is just downright bad. It is a an over digitized, low budget, run and gun action flick where the two headliners, Sylvester Stallone and Dave Bautista have limited screen time. One must think that whatever budget this film had, mostly went to…
So today was my first experience of Launch Boks. I was kindly sent July’s WARRIOR themed box all the way from Spain to review here on Back to the Movies. Launch Boks™ is a spanish monthly subscription box created with the idea of gathering the most epic geek & gamer gear possible. It’s a bold…
In a world of superheroes and sequels, it feels like a strange time to be releasing such a movie that may feel so saturated in the current market. But this isn’t any ordinary movie. This is the sequel of perhaps one of the best superhero animated movies ever made (my opinion of course). Making a…
Your friend has been missing for days, believed to have been taken by a mysterious serial killer. The police have yet to come close to capturing the kidnapper. You have been working hard to find your friend, and have tracked them down to an office in an engineering facility. Is this just a normal office,…
It’s been a whole 11 years since the original Ocean’s trilogy and this time around we’re kicking off proceedings with a twist. Ocean’s 8 is swapping casino heists for a swanky Met Gala robbery as Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) sister of the now deceased (apparently) Danny Ocean puts an elaborate plan into action. The heist…
After travelling through the fire and the flames onboard the Wicker Man ride at Alton Towers only a few weeks ago, I had caught the bug. Here is our Icon rollercoaster review. I’ve never been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach so in the rare british sunshine with a buddy of mine we headed off to the…
My second to last pickup from London’s MCM Comic Con was Geek Gear. GeekGear is a UK Subscription box company based in Central Scotland bringing you an amazing monthly shipment of magic! With the variety of subscriptions on offer. Priced at a special comic-con price of £15 we certainly got a good value for money….

The story revolves around a flight crew who risk their lives by their utilizing commercial planes to save those…
So I’m a little late with this review but I promise you it’s for a good reason. When I attended MCM London Comic Con this year I made it my sole mission to get as many subscription boxes as humanly possible. This later turned into an instant regret as I didn’t factor in the editing,…
I can’t quite believe it has been four years since I was over in Los Angeles at Warner Bros Studios for the 75th Anniversary of Batman Exhibition. The time has absolutely flown and after a nostalgic Google search for the past event, I came across an exhibition closer to home and one that was available…
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom finally embodies it’s ‘worldly’ title and has our human-chomping predators on a luxurious cruise as their island becomes a lava-flooded wasteland. It has been three years since the events of the first movie. The dinosaurs were left to their own devices on Isla Nubular and it seems all is well in…
With online streaming services destroying humanity as we know it, owning a real DVD and Blu Ray is slowly becoming a way of the past. For those like myself who are defiant enough to prefer a hard-copy of a film over some online database then DVD Locker is the way to go. For those budding…
I certainly wasn’t lying when I said I went on a subscription box manhunt at MCM Comic Con this year. I picked up ZBOX, Geek Gear, My Geek Box and of course, my new favorite The Amazing Mystery Box. After reviewing the first box I was sent a few weeks ago I was blown away…
It’s that time again when I get to experience a new escape room at Escape Stoke. Every time I go to Escape Stoke I get excited like a kid on Christmas Eve. I always love the theming of each and every room. It’s so incredibly detailed and with me being a huge fan of movies…
SOLO: A STAR WARS story is a familiar animal; it is the latest in the “standalone” installments from Disney and had its production troubles that were over-reported by any and every online outlet possible. It was a sure foolproof failure they said. Disney was preparing for its first misstep after acquiring the brand. The online…
