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?

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. Here's the time codes for the specific reviews: West Side Story The Matrix Resurrections Encanto "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 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? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out.

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

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?

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?

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?
