On episode 66 of Film Focus, I'm finally doing it, after a few delays I am finally getting around to my discussion/review of the Dragon Ball Z films. With Dragon Ball Super: Broly recently released in Japan and the western release in cinemas dropping in January, I thought it would be interesting to revisit all 15 of the Dragon Ball Z films and see how they held up.

On episode 62 of Film Focus, I bring you my thoughts on the latest film in the Fantastic Beasts series; Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

So after seeing it on opening night how it far...

On episode 60 of Film Focus, I'm bringing you another double review with my thoughts on A Star Is Born and Venom. Both films I've been curious about from the outset but my interest has grown significantly for A Star Is Born after I saw the trailer in recent months and with Venom, though I have been sceptical about it from the day it was announced, I've been hoping for the best. So how did these fi...

On episode 57 of Film Focus, I discuss the final film from Marvel Studios in 2018 in the form of Ant-Man and the Wasp. The first Ant-Man film from 2015 was one of the best surprises of the year and I was curious/excited to see where the people at Marvel would take the character after the events of his first film and Captain America: Civil War. So is this film an improvement, on par or less than it...

On episode 56 of Film Focus, I get to talk about another one of my most anticipated films of the summer in the form of Mission: Impossible – Fallout. It is interesting how this series has continued to improve and stay relevant after so many years and with this film having direct ties to the last with even crazier stunts and stakes than before it definitely had me excited to see how it turned out....

On episode 52 of Film Focus, Drew from Drew's Movie Reviews and I get to review the latest film from Marvel Studios in the form of Avengers: Infinity War!

On episode 50 of Film Focus, I finally get to review the latest video game adapted film; Tomb Raider. Now, this is a film I have been curious about since the outset, the marketing didn't do much to excite me, but since I really liked Alicia Vikander and loved the 2013 game that this film's based on, I had hope. Also after the 2016 efforts of Warcraft and Assassin's Creed, we needed a good video ga...

P.S. This was a semi-planned episode so if I sound a little questionable it was because most of my...

What followed after that was the assembling o...
