Another London Film Fetival Projector review this time of the Danish dramedy Another Round:

Mat's first new Projector of 2021, about the 2020 film Skylin3s:

I’ve watched him for over 12 years. It’s amazing how far he’s gone now.

It helps that he changed his style after channel awesome. He commented lately in an interview that for his old views he exaggerated his own personality for his videos.

I think making Projector was overall a really good move for Mathew. It allowed him to branch away from the typical Caustic Critic style of reviews popular at the time, and gave the chance to cover films that otherwise may not have gotten that wide of coverage. I think his work is very underrated nowadays, which is a bit of a shame. I think some people just never bothered to give him a look past his earlier Bad Movie Beatdown reviews.

And I still like some of his BMB stuff.

Nah, fuck BMB. It was far too much like Nostalgia Critic and Projector had always been better. It’s a shame people still harass him over not doing any episodes.

Overall, he’s the second best critic that site ever had, first being Lindsay Ellis, of course.

BMB was the NC formula distilled to its purest form in a way. No skits, just witty criticism with some background research. I suppose the closest thing to BMB nowadays would be Cinematic Excrement (with less exaggeration). Among the channels I follow anyway.

I do agree that Projector reviews allow him to be much more constructive though. You can tell he enjoys it a lot more too.

New episode of The Film Brain Podcast where he and Stuart Ashen talk about Wonder Woman 1984 which finally went to PVOD in the UK 9 days ago.

Mathew takes a look at Neil Marshall's latest film, The Reckoning. He's also sporting a new beard.

Retracted my dumb post.

I'm not sure what prompted that comparison.

New Projector, this time for a change Mat looks at a film that's already been released Willy's Wonderland:

Second projector episode this week on The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run:

Gah, that sponge on the left... That just doesn't look right.

Yeah that’s something reklaW guoD would do.

And last night we had Mat's first look at a film from 2021; Cosmic Sin:

Well, that movie sure is awful.

And now a Projector on S.A.S: Red Notice, described by Mat as "perhaps the ultimate example of the British failing at Hollywood's blockbuster game":

New episode of The Film Brain Podcast where Mat and guests; Oliver Harper, Jonathan Burdett and Lasse Vogt discuss Zack Snyder's Justice League:

Another Die Hard clone? It sure is, as Mathew takes a look at Assault on VA-33:

And now Mathew takes a look at a film that had been sitting on the shelf since it was filmed back in 2016 Above Suspicion:

New Projector this time on Canadian sci-fi horror flick Come True:

Mat looks at a faith-based football movie, that doesn't have much football, starring Milo "son-of-Mel" Gibson and Laurence Fishburne; Under The Stadium Lights.

Mathew takes a look at Take Back, a thriller vehicle for Michael Jai White and his wife Gillian, which features Mickey Rourke not giving a single fuck about his performance:

Why should he? He lost to Mr. "I Went To Iraq".
