I present to the masses yet another videogame tie-in: the third person shooter for THE SHIELD! Despite the cast returning to portray their roles, why couldn't one had played as other characters besides only Vic Mackey? What other videogame mechanics does it shamelessly steal besides the Grand Theft Auto series? Are some of the plot twists and alternate endings any fun despite the dodgy CPU and annoying profanity? Ride along in The Barn's vice squad van and find out!

Three of Fred Williamson's B-movie franchises get a retrospect: the cheesy Italian shot war movies Delta Force Commando, another overseas vigilante franchise titled Black Cobra & his throwback badass private eye Dakota Smith films!

We begin another espionage and assassin fueled week for February: Does the Antoine Fuqua blockbuster Shooter still hold up? What is the basis of most of Stephen Hunter's adapted novels?

In episode 141 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest video game adaptation; Uncharted. Even though I've not played the Uncharted games, I'm aware of their popularity and how well-regarded they are. So to see this film come into existence and take a different approach from the games, it had a lot to prove to the fans. So was this a good video game adaptation or not?

On episode 140 of Film Focus, after a little while away I'm back with my review for the latest Roland Emmerich film; Moonfall. I had no interest in this film prior to watching it, but I was curious to see what Emmerich had brought to this film and if it was potentially any better than his previous efforts. So was the film good or not? Well, listen to this episode to find out!

In episode 139 of Film Focus, I give you my favourite films from 2021. This year has felt a bit uneventful for films, but I think that has been more a side effect of the pandemic. The first half of the year has been pretty dry, but once we got to the latter side of the summer into the autumn and winter seasons, I ended up seeing a good few films that held my attention. Making this list was a little tricky, but I think I came up with a decent one.

In episode 138 of Film Focus, I bring you my first triple review since 2017 with my opinions on West Side Story, The Matrix Resurrections and Encanto. I was originally going to do individual reviews for each of these films, but since I saw them very close to each around Christmas, I thought it would be easier and more efficient to do mini-reviews in one episode instead. So how do these films hold up? Well, check out the episode to find out. P.S.

On episode 137 of Film Focus, I'm back with an unscheduled episode in the form of an unscripted rant on Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. I knew the film woul be bad from the time the first trailer dropped and decided to give it a skip when it came out near the start of December. But I was bored recently and decided to give it a watch... And unfortunately the flm was not only one of the worst films I've watched this year but it also continues the trend of bad video game adaptations.

In episode 136 of Film Focus, I discuss my thoughts on the latest superhero film from Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures; Spider-Man: No Way Home. I have been hyped for this film for ages, but in the last 3 months, the anticipation has reached a fever pitch. There's a lot going into this film with the plot and characters and other elements not only from the MCU but previous Spider-Man films as well. So how is the latest Spider-Man adventure? Well, check out this SPOILER-FREE review to find out.

In episode 135 of Film Focus, I share with you my thoughts on the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Now I was a fan of the 2019 film and was curious to see where the filmmakers would take this sequel. And slowly but surely the hype has been building from the set pictures revealing Knuckles to the fact that he'd be voiced by Idris Elba to the first official poster that dropped not too long ago. So join me for some scattered yet insightful thoughts on this trailer.

In episode 134 of Film Focus, I discuss my thoughts on Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The wait for this film has felt so long, not only because it has been delayed several times from its original release in 2020 because of the pandemic. But also because fans have waited for a proper continuation to this series since Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 (you know if you take the 2009 video game out of the equation). So is this a good entry in the Ghostbusters series or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out. P.S. Apologises for any pronunciations or name mistakes, I was a little tired when I recorded this haha.

In episode 133 of Film Focus, I discuss my thoughts on the latest Marvel film; Eternals. Man, my hype levels for this film have fluctuated so wildly. From the outset, I was super intrigued, but after the marketing came out, my interest dropped like an anchor to the depths of the ocean. I even debated seeing it in the opening week, but with the early reviews being so mixed, my curiosity was piqued. So is this film a boring mess or is it better than some are making it out to be?

On episode 132 of Film Focus, I have another film double with reviews for two of my most anticipated films of the year in the form of Dune and Last Night in Soho. Both of these films I have been excited for due to their directors but also for some specific reasons individually. For Dune I was enchanted by the second trailer and the music. and with Last Night in Soho, the premise and unique trailers had my interest for a very long time. So how did these films fare? Well, listen to this episode for some spoiler-free thoughts on both films! :D Timecodes: 02:41 Dune Review 14:09 Last Night In Soho Review "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hypersonic55 Follow Film Focus on Twitter: twitter.com/FilmFocus55 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/FilmFocusPodcast
On episode 131 of Film Focus, I've returned with another double review on a couple of films I should've had online a little sooner in the form of Halloween Kills and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

In episode 130 of Film Focus, I discuss my thoughts on the latest James Bond film; No Time To Die. I feel like this film has been coming out for ages due to the pandemic pushing back the release date by a whole year, but it's finally been released well at least here in the UK. And I'll admit I wasn't too excited to watch this film after Spectre left a bad taste in my mouth, but in the final month leading up to this film's release, I felt myself more compelled to watch it because of the trailers and early word of mouth. So is this a good end to the Daniel Craig era of Bond films? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out.

In episode 129 of Film Focus, I finally get to discuss one of my most hyped films for 2021; Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Now for those who know me, I am a big fan of martial arts films, so to have that genre finally get some love in the realm of superhero films makes me very happy. I have been looking forward to this film since its announcement because 1) We were finally gonna get some proper martial arts in a superhero film. And 2) We were finally gonna see an Asian lead superhero film. So is this another great superhero film or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out.

In episode 128 of Film Focus, I return to the world of Mortal Kombat with another animated adaptation in the form of Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms. Now I thought the first one was decent, but I wasn't in love with it as much as some other people. So I wasn't super hyped for this new one but I held out hope. So is this a better than the last film or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out.

In episode 127 of Film Focus, I review the latest film from Warner Bros. and DC; The Suicide Squad. So this is the second attempt to make a Suicide Squad film after the 2016 version failed to resonate with audiences in the way that the studios wanted. So with James Gunn at the helm, he has assembled an impressive cast and crafted a story that from the trailers looks like it's more quirky, violent, funnier and crazier than the previous instalment. So is the film a good time or not?

In episode 126 of Film Focus, I review the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the long-overdue Black Widow film. I feel like I have been waiting for this film since 2016 and for a little while I began to give up hope, but eventually, we finally got that solo film for one of the core Avengers. This film was supposed to come out last year, but due to the pandemic affecting cinemas to a heavy degree, a lot of films were pushed back a year or so, this film included. So after all this time, is Black Widow a good film or not? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hypersonic55 Follow Film Focus on Twitter: twitter.com/FilmFocus55 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/FilmFocusPodcast
In episode 125 of Film Focus, I review the latest entry in the Fast and Furious series, Fast & Furious 9. It is safe to say that in the years since the 8th film, my interest in this franchise has definitely dimished. So when the marketing started up for this new film I found myself curious but not hyped. So after a delay due to the pandemic, Fast & Furious is back to hopefully provide some much-needed entertainment. Does it succeed?

In episode 124 of Film Focus, I review the latest film from Pixar; Luca. When this film was first revealed to the world via the internet I was certainly intrigued by its different style when compared to previous Pixar films, but I didn't find myself crazily excited to check it. So now that it's out on Disney+ how did this film turn out? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hypersonic55 Follow Film Focus on Twitter: twitter.com/FilmFocus55 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/FilmFocusPodcast
In episode 123 of Film Focus, I review A Quiet Place Part 2. The first film was a pleasant surprise back in 2018 and was one of my favourite films of the year. And while initially, I was against the idea of a sequel, the trailers and early word of mouth made me do a complete one-eighty. So how did this film turn out? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hypersonic55 Follow Film Focus on Twitter: twitter.com/FilmFocus55 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/FilmFocusPodcast
In episode 122 of Film Focus, I review the latest zombie film from director Zack Snyder; Army of the Dead. This was a film I was aware of but didn't really have much interest in until the last month when the marketing and early reviews caught my attention. So how did this film turn out? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hypersonic55 Follow Film Focus on Twitter: twitter.com/FilmFocus55 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/FilmFocusPodcast
In episode 121 of Film Focus, I bring you my review of the video game film I have been looking forward to for the longest time; Mortal Kombat. This reboot of Mortal Kombat has been watched with concern for a while, however, once the trailer came out the perception of this film definitely changed into hype and hope for this new adaptation. So how did this adaptation turn out? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D P.S. The episode's first half is spoiler-free but from 57:13 we go into full-on spoiler territory, so you can't say I didn't warn you haha.

In episode 120 of Film Focus, I return to my discussion about games that were turned into live-action films with VideoGame Adaptations Part 2! So what does this type of episode entail? Well to put it simply, I take a bunch of video game films and discuss: 1) When they came out 2) Their pros and cons 3) How they were adapted from their source material In Part 1 I covered the first wave of adaptations from Super Mario Bros. to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and in this episode, I'll be discussing video game films that were released between 2001-2010. There were 17 films to cover in this episode so as you can imagine this is a meaty episode, but I put a lot of time and effort into this and hope that you'll find my thoughts/rants on some of these adaptations to be a little insightful and entertaining. P.S. There will be some spoilers sprinkled around for some of these films, however, a lot of them are bad so you shouldn't feel too bad about hearing anything.

In episode 119 of Film Focus, I bring you my review for Godzilla vs. Kong. Now I have liked each of MonsterVerse films so far, some more so than others, but admittedly I wasn't too excited for Godzilla vs. Kong because of the way the universe had been set up so far. But after seeing some of the marketing I did warm up to it a little more. So is this the super amazing monster film we've all been waiting for?

On episode 118 of Film Focus, I return to you with one of the meatiest episodes I've ever done with my review for Justice League: The Snyder Cut. But I am not alone, I have assembled a team of my own consisting of return guest Ross alongside newcomers Felix and Alon. This was one of my favourite episodes to record due to our varied opinions but also because of the amount of time we spent joking around. So how did the Snyder Cut fare? Well, listen to this episode to find out! :D P.S. The episode's first half is spoiler-free but from 57:13 we go into full-on spoiler territory, so you can't say I didn't warn you haha.

In episode 116 of Film Focus, I return to you with a review for one of the worst films I've watched for a while; Tom and Jerry. Now I've never been the biggest fan of Tom and Jerry, but I did watch a lot of it in my childhood. So I know what the source material is, and this film does it a massive disservice.

In episode 115 of Film Focus, I share with you my thoughts on the first red band trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat film. Now normally I don't do trailer reviews on the podcast, but considering how long I waited for footage for this film and how much hype, caution and curiosity I have about this film as well, I had to show up and say something. So join me for some casual thoughts on how I think the film is looking so far.

On episode 113 of Film Focus, I share with you my most anticipated films for 2021. Now due to the pandemic of 2020, a bunch of films originally set to release last year got pushed back to this year, and since we're still in the thick of it, it makes the future of certain film releases unknown. But I thought I might as well share the list of my top films I'm hoping to see this year.

On episode 112 of Film Focus, I share with you my favourite films from 2020. This year has been a very strange one in terms of watching a lot of films in conventional ways due to the pandemic, but there have been quite a few films that have appeared on streaming media services as well. Constructing this list was a little tricker than I expected during the last month, but I hope you enjoy my choices and of course, I welcome your opinions below.

On episode 108 of Film Focus, I cover a topic I've been meaning to do for a few years now; video game adaptations. Now I am extremely passionate about video game adaptations as I believe they have the potential to be the next big genre in Hollywood if the right IPs are adapted with the right filmmakers. Alas since their inception there has been a lot of missteps in translating their unique elements from games to film. So I wanted to look back at the first wave of video game films from the '90s and have a casual analysis about 5 films and discuss: 1) When the came out 2) Their pros and cons 3) How they were adapted from their source material I had a lot of fun making this and you'll probably hear the passion in my voice from how loud I can be on occasions haha. So join me on a trip down memory lane as we dive into the early period of video game adaptations. Timecodes: 05:32 Super Mario Bros.

With Borat 2 I was just curious to see how this sequel would turn out since its been almost 15 years since the last one.

On episode 102 of Film Focus, I talk about the importance of watching films in the cinema. While COVID19 has pretty much shut down most forms of outdoor entertainment, especially watching films at the cinema, it got me thinking about not only how much I miss it but also how pivotal it is. So join me a casual discussion about my own experiences and why I think its still the best way to experience new and old films alike.

On episode 101 of Film Focus, I talk about the latest adaption from the world of Mortal Kombat in the form of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. Now I am a big fan of this franchise and I have been interested in watching this film since the first trailer dropped online in January 2020. It was a 2D animated MK film with an R rating that focused on Scorpion and the first MK tournament? Yeah, sign me up! So is this a good representation of MK or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out. P.S. Sorry for the change in mic quality as my normal set up is back in Canada.

On episode 100 of Film Focus, I get to talk about a film I've been cautiously optimistic about for a while now; Sonic the Hedgehog. Now, this film has had an interesting journey to the big screen with a few delays to the reveal of Sonic's questionable initial design to the better redesign and so on. So with Detective Pikachu being a pretty solid video game film from last year, does Sonic continue that upward trend or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out.

On episode 99 of Film Focus, I review the latest film from DC in the form of Birds of Prey or as its been recently dubbed, "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey". So this film has a had an interesting journey from its concept as Gotham City Sirens to where it is right now. In addition to that this film had an uphill battle with those who weren't keen on Suicide Squad and the marketing not doing too much to hype up potential audiences. That being said there were certainly fans of Margot Robbie's Harley who were down to see her in another film as well. So is Birds of Prey good or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out. P.S. I butcher a few names in this episode so apologies in advance.

On episode 98 of Film Focus, I briefly recap the 92nd Academy Awards. So another Oscars has come and gone and while my interest this year was pretty much nonexistent, there was a handful of specific awards I wanted certain films and individuals I wanted to win. So like last year I wanted to do a brief and casual recap of the winners that were of interest to me.

On episode 97 of Film Focus, I return with a double film review Bad Boys For Life and 1917. Now I was initially going to do separate reviews for both but decided to put them together in the same episode as it'd be an interesting balance between something fun and something serious. Both films left me with thought I just had to share, so how did these films fare? Well, listen to this episode for some spoiler-free thoughts on both films! :D Timecodes: 02:24 Bad Boys For Life Review 14:32 1917 Review Theme music is "Pulse Rock" by Kevin MacLeod which can be found at https://incompetech.com Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hypersonic55 Follow Film Focus on Twitter: twitter.com/FilmFocus55 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/FilmFocusPodcast
On episode 96 of Film Focus, I finally, FINALLY get around to sharing with you my most anticipated films for 2020. At the beginning of the year, it was hard to come up with more than 5, but after some research, I have a pretty solid list of films and some special mentions as well. So join me in this episode as I highlight a few films that I think should be on your radar as well. P.S. Apologies for the background noises (especially that doorbell, could not have predicted that would happen haha).

On episode 95 of Film Focus, I share with you my favourite films from 2019. My list switched up a few time especially in December, so that's why my list was delayed into January, but hopefully you enjoy the 10 films that I've selected. P.S. I was a little under the weather while recording this so that's why I'm a little low energy.

On episode 94 of Film Focus, I finally get to talk about another the last major release of 2019 that's been on my radar for a while in the form of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Now after The Last Jedi came out, the Star Wars fandom has been thrown into chaos with such a crazy divide between those who loved and hated it. So with all that in mind, JJ Abrams and the other filmmakers had a difficult task to create a satisfying conclusion that would satisfy everyone. So is Rise of Skywalker a film good or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out. P.S. At 20:31 I meant to say prequels instead of sequels. 2) At 23:54-25:19 potential minor character spoilers.

On episode 93 of Film Focus, I finally get to take about another one of my most anticipated films of 2019 in the form of Knives Out; the latest film from Rian Johnson.
