All the latest Movieland investigate from detectives Dick Japowski and and Joey Arizona.
The Arizona Case Files
Bedeviled (2016)
A group of students download a mysterious new app that can do pretty much anything...including tapping into their innermost fears...and making them reality.
A tremendously dull horror with decent production values for a low budget movie, and a lot of pretentious monologues delivered by bad actors, written by 'intellectual' millennials.

The VHS Chronicles of Detective Dick Japowski
Batman (1989)
Trailers: Dead Calm, Millennium, I'm Gonna Get You Sucka!, License to Kill.
It's been 30 years since Bat fever swept the world and history has been kind to Tim Burton's darker and broodier caped crusader. The score and look of the film definitely do alot to elevate but Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson are also both amazing as Bats and Joker.

The Arizona Case Files
Police Academy (1984)
All restrictions have been removed from police recruitment, meaning now anyone can apply and be excepted to the programme. Which is great news for wise-cracking, trouble maker Mahoney who's just been given the ultimatum; Join up or go to jail.
Far from the kid friendly, cartoon-spawning, action figure-selling franchise it would be come, the original trip to the academy is packed with all the things that made Eighties kids love them so, Jones' sound effects, Tacklebury's gun-totting insanity, and Mahoney's womanising, just with added nudity and racism.

The Arizona Case Files
Miles 22 (2018)
An elite black ops team have to transport a man with vital information out of Indonesia, all they have to do is get to the plane without they informant's own government retrieving him or killing them all in the process.
When you've got the man responsible for Lone Survivor behind the camera, and the lead from The Raid involved you know you're going to get some impressive action sequences. I they certainly deliver. Although story-wise you have absolutely no idea what's going on for at the first 30 minutes.
