And in the blink of an eye, 2022 is over which means it’s time to rank by best films of the year. I’ll be honest, my choices were rather limited this year as we spent more of time gaming than we did at the cinema but there were a few gems that we really enjoyed….

Top Ten… Favourite Films of 2021
After the first year of the 2020’s turned out to be a complete and utter write-off, not just in terms of cinema but pretty much every aspect of our lives, we all went into 2021 with a quietly optimistic sense of hope. Twelve months later, we’re still talking about pandemics, social distancing and vaccinations but…
Christopher Nolan’s Movies Ranked
Christopher Nolan’s one of my favourite directors and I have been trying to write this post ever since I started my blog almost three years ago but my ranking changes every single time, so you need to take this post with a pinch of salt because it is pretty much a certainty that I would…
Top Ten… Game to Film Adaptations
Everyone knows that film adaptations of books can be a bit hit and miss, but when an adaptation of a video game is announced there is typically an overwhelming sense of nervousness because more often than not, game adaptations are not received well by critics and audiences alike. Almost like the morbid curiosity that we…
Top Ten… Tim Burton
There are a handful of directors with such a unique personal style that you can see their films a mile off. One of the most easily recognisable directors is Tim Burton, whose stories have been delighting us in a somewhat dark and macabre way for over 30 years. I think it’s fair to say that…

Given the vastness that is the world of cinema, there are a few key roles that are beyond iconic and as a result there have been many a debate over which interpretation is the best. So for a bit of fun, I thought I would share with you my favourites of some of these iconic…
Top Ten… Favourite Films of 2019
For someone who writes a movie blog, I have been woefully poor at watching films this year, missing out on some critically acclaimed films such as Ad Astra, Le’ Mans 66 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Even when I’ve turned to Netflix to get my movie fix, I’ve not watched the widely anticipated…
Top Ten… Pixar Movies
The recent influx of live-action remakes of animated films has helped to increase my appreciation for the art form, I just keep my fingers crossed that they leave Pixar’s movies well and truly alone. As a way to show my appreciation of the skill and talent that goes into making an animated movie, I wanted…
Top Ten… Pixar Shorts
When it comes to animation, I know that most people will think of Disney first, but for me, Pixar is always what springs to mind. **I know that it is now technically Disney Pixar but in my mind they will always be separate studios. You can fight me on it :)** One of my favourite…
Top Ten… Black Mirror
Set in a world that is not too dissimilar from our own, Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror is a frightening exploration into technology and the dark, twisted psyche of the human race. With the first episode of series 5 being dropped on Netflix today (28.12.18), I wanted to share with you my ten favourite episodes. Don’t…
