With most of the postponed films now being released we seem…

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Film Review
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these ‘Modern Classic’ posts and I figured why not start the new year by finally crossing off The Shawshank Redemption from my must watch list. I know, I know… how can I write a movie blog or call myself a film fan when I haven’t seen…
Loki (2021) Series Review
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier gave us a new Captain America. WandaVision delivered us a Wanda Maximoff who has finally tapped into the potential of potential of her powers and Black Widow potentially paved the way for a new widow. But where these all hint and tease at the future of the MCU, Loki…
Ford Vs Ferrari (2019) Film Review
No matter how many films I see, there always seems to be a few big blockbusters that I just don’t seem to catch on the big screen. Ford Vs Ferrari was one such film, and despite it taking the top spot on a lot of people’s favourite films of 2019 it still took a couple…
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…
Ten Great Documentaries To Watch On Netflix
As Covid-19 continues to dictate where we can go and who we can, it’s probably getting to a point where you are starting to feel like you have watched everything on Netflix, but documentaries tend to get overlooked, probably because we are looking for a bit of escapism from real life, however there is a…
David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet (2020)
The term ‘National Treasure’ gets thrown around far too often for my liking but even I have to admit that it is perfectly apt as a description for Sir David Attenborough, who at 93 years old has been exploring, documentary and sharing the living world for over 60 years. His latest film A Life On…
Series Review: Tiger King – Murder, Mayhem and Madness (2020)
With a trailer featuring big cats, a possible murder plot and a super cheesy, yet surprisingly catchy, Country & Western song, Netflix’s latest docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness seemed like a bit of a joke but it actually hooked us in and kept us gripped until the very end. If you think the…

Film Review: Parasite (2019)
One of the worst things about being a film fan in the UK is that we typically get theatrical releases some time after our American cousins. Thanks to my American blogger friends Parasite was on my must watch list long before it started making its landmark waves on the awards circuit. When it was finally…

Film Review: Tell Me Who I Am
There’s a whole host of new releases at the cinema lately that I really want to watch but when the weather is a bit crap, it’s difficult to drag yourself away from the comfort of home. Mind you, with the quality content that Netflix are putting out at the moment, you don’t feel like you’re…
Series Review: Unbelievable (2019)
One afternoon, I was bored and just flicking through Netflix looking for something to watch when I stumbled across this limited series, Unbelievable, which turned out to be one of those shows that you just can’t stop watching, and with only eight episodes, it’s the perfect length for a weekend binge-watch. Based on true events,…
