As with other aspects of life, the last couple of years have been a bit of a shit show for the entertainment industry with cinemas struggling to stay open, movie opening dates being pushed back and studios opting for the blended simultaneous theatrical/streaming releases. With most of the postponed films now being released we seem…

Top Twenty… Turning 20 in 2020
Christmas is over so while we recover from overstuffing ourselves lets look forward into the new year. As we prepare to say goodbye to the 2010s and head on in to a brand new decade, I wanted to create a post that celebrates the coming year by looking back and making us realise just how…
Top Ten… Worst Films of 2019
It may be a lack of cinema visits this year but I struggled a lot with this post, mainly with actually coming up with ten films that I didn’t like. Not that this year has been full of masterpieces but predominantly because my main consideration when reviewing a film is not necessarily the technical aspects…
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 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…
Movie Links #3
Hey Everyone! It’s that time again! My latest movie link-up is from Tom Hanks to the beautiful Cate Blanchett, and was given to me by @PeteSeymour17.

Movie Links #2
Hey Everyone! Welcome to the second installment of my ‘Movie Links’ series. Since my first post has gone live, I’ve learnt that our original car game is actually super similar to something called the ‘Oracle of Bacon’ or the ‘Six Degrees of Bacon‘. So in honour of this, my second post will be linking one…
Top Ten… MCU Films
The time is nearly here….Twenty-one films, over the course of eleven years, have all been leading up to this moment… Avengers: Endgame is just days away now. So, in order to pass away the last few days I thought I would rank my top ten favourite MCU films. 10. Black Panther (2018) I’ll admit that perhaps this…
March Wrap-Up and April Targets
Looking back, I am surprised and a little disappointed that I only saw four films at the cinema throughout the whole of March, however a full re-watch of both American Gods and Game of Thrones may have had something to do with it. That being said, I still managed to write twelve new posts and…
About Me… My Local Area
There are certain places in the world that are frequently used as filming locations for big Hollywood movies. New York and London are typical for their big, dramatic city skylines, whereas countries such as Ireland and Iceland offer wide, sweeping landscapes and breathtaking scenery. However, every now and again, less well known locations are chosen…

About Me… The Films Of My Life
We watch movies for many different reasons. It is a chance to escape into another world for a little while. It is time to spend with loved ones. It may be when you are sick or getting over a heartbreak. Whatever our reasons for watching them, films have the power to impact our lives so subtly that we don’t even realise it until we…
