So as I’m writing this I’m on the train heading back from the London Film Festival. It’s been one of those festivals that I’ve wanted to go to but never had the chance until now. Having been, I have to say it is a great experience, got introductions for most of the films from the… Continue reading 2018 London Film Festival
The Hate U Give Review
Every now and then Cineworld does secret preview screenings for Unlimited members. I’ve been to a few secret screenings in the past held by Odeon (namely Midnight Special, Baby Driver, The Big Sick and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), but I’ve never got the chance to go to one for Cineworld and, unlike Odeon, they… Continue reading The Hate U Give Review
Venom Review
So this was a terrible idea from the get go. The only thing that makes Venom interesting as a character is the connection to Spider-Man, with Venom starting out as a black suit for Spider-Man. Venom is so intrinsically tied into Spider-Man that it makes no sense to make a Venom movie without Spider-Man. But… Continue reading Venom Review

Now I have deliberately not seen any of those other versions of… Continue reading A Star is Born (2018) Review
The Little Stranger Review
So old British grand houses are sort of the perfect location for a horror film to take place in. There’s this sense of history and conflict within them that give off a creepy atmosphere. Enter Lenny Abrahamson, whose previous two films, Frank and Room, were excellent. It was really his involvement that got me excited,… Continue reading The Little Stranger Review
A Simple Favour Review
Paul Feig is one of those directors who’s hit or miss for me. On the one hand, I really enjoyed Spy and Ghostbusters, but on the other I really didn’t like Bridesmaids. With A Simple Favour though, Feig has moved away from comedy and has gone into the world of thriller. The result is a… Continue reading A Simple Favour Review
