As soon as the credits stated it was Tarantinos 8th film, there was a sense of knowing that it had to be good. I think Tarantino has found his strong […]

Rewatching Star Wars: Attempting to Defend the Phantom Menace
After just finishing the first episode of the Star Wars saga, The Phantom Menace, I do notice the step down in quality from the original trilogy of films. Unfortunately for this […]
Just Another Sequel: 22 Jump Street (2014) – Film Review
After watching the first instalment 21 Jump Street, it was always destined for there to be a second, not-as-funny sequel. It is fair to say that 22 Jump Street followed the […]
Les Miserables (2012) – Film Review
The world famous musical, Les Miserables, seen by millions of people since it’s original premiere in 1980, was sure to get a cinematic adaptation at some point. Based on the original story […]
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) – Film Review
I’m really unsure about what I’ve just finished watching. I’ve never touched any form of drug, but the closest I’ll ever get to an experience is what I’ve just seen on screen. Johnny Depp and Benecio del Toro’s psychedelic drug fuelled journey to Las Vegas is a mish-mash fantasy of hallucinations and madness that you are never sure is real or not.

Vacation (2015) – Film Review
The latest comedy to come out this summer, is Vacation, a kind-of reboot of the old Vacation films starring Chevy Chase. A standard family road trip story with discontent children and the married couple that are seemingly growing apart.

Trainwreck (2015) – Film Review
I always worry about seeing new comedies in the cinema, there’s always a bit of a hit or miss risk which you worry about, especially after forking out for an expensive ticket. At least with an action film you can be wowed by some effects even if it is Transformers 3, but comedies are laid pretty bare in the cinema, laugh or go home disappointed. I’m pleased to say that Trainwreck did not disappoint.
The Gift (2015) – Film Review
As Joel Edgerton’s first film where he adopts the roles of actor, director and writer, The Gift was sure to be a risky film for him. It’s certainly fair to say he excelled on all three counts . A fantastic first film for him that is sure to draw in the ratings and possibly some awards in the long run.
The Judge (2014) – Film Review
A surprisingly intriguing film, only made possible by the stellar acting performances that it includes. The father-son duo of Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall is what kept the film steady. Robert Downey Jr. has a fantastic performance as the brilliant yet self-centred lawyer Hank Palmer, it was such a good performance that I didn’t think that Tony Stark had shaved his beard and turned up in a suit.
