I don’t think I’m the only one who has been a little disappointed by Pixar’s last couple of offerings, Onward and Soul. For me, they didn’t have the same level of heart or spark that I have come to expect from my favourite animation studio. I remember when Pixar releases were once every 12-18 months,…

Things Heard And Seen (2021) Film Review
Over the last few months Netflix have been churning out a host of female-led psychological thrillers, including Amy Adam’s The Woman in the Window and most recently Gina Rodriguez’s Awake. Kicking off this influx was Amanda Seyfried in Things Heard And Seen, a part gothic horror, part psychological thriller inspired by Elizabeth Brundage’s acclaimed novel…
Love And Monsters (2021) Film Review
From The Hunger Games to Divergent to The Maze Runner, I do enjoy a good young adult fantasy film so I was cautiously optimistic when Netflix released their monster adventure film Love and Monsters especially with Maze Runner star, Dylan O’Brien at the helm. In order to prevent the Earth’s destruction from an approaching asteroid,…
Whiplash (2014) Film Review
Even though Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash was one of those ‘Best Picture’ films that I felt like I should watch just because it was nominated for a best picture Oscar, I never really had much inclination to do so and so it stayed on the outer edges of my, mentally kept, watchlist. When I recently found…
Cruella (2021) Film Review
The origins of the deliciously devilish, dog-napping fashionista, Cruella De Vil, was never really something that had crossed my mind but with the announcement of Emma Stone (one of my favourite actresses) taking on the role and those incredibly edgy early images of her in full costume, I think it’s safe to say that I…
A Quiet Place Part II (2021) Film Review
One of my most eagerly anticipated films of 2020 was the follow up to John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place, which smashed it at the box office and became an instant classic, even garnering praise from the King of Horror himself, Stephen King. Although it was the right thing to do, the postponement of A Quiet…
Army of the Dead (2021) Film Review
After being out of the limelight for a few years, Zack Snyder is taking 2021 by storm with the highly anticipated Snyder cut of Justice League and the return to his zombie flick roots with Netflix’s Army of the Dead. Penned by Snyder himself, Army of the Dead is a unique and interesting blend of…
The Mitchells Vs The Machines (2021) Film Review
With the surprising success of the LEGO movie franchise and the groundbreaking, Oscar winning Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse, it seems as though anything that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller touch right now turns into gold, and with the release of their latest endeavour The Mitchells Vs The Machines, the question is whether they can keep…
Spiral: From The Book Of Saw (2021) Film Review
It’s good to be back! On the 17th May, UK cinemas reopened their doors in the country’s next big step towards normality and after fourteen long months Mark and I finally settled in our seats to watch something on the big screen. In a rather dramatic change of pace from our last outing which was…
