Hereditary was a pretty weird film for me, not so much for the story but for my reaction to it. I thought Hereditary was a powerful, engaging film with a tour-de-force performance from Toni Collette, which could have been one of the most powerful horror films of recent years until the last 5 minutes which… Continue reading Midsommar Review
Spider-Man: Far From Home Review
I have to say that I was fairly disappointed with Spider-Man: Homecoming when it came out. Sure, it was a good film, aided by strong performances from Tom Holland and Michael Keaton, but the film didn’t really have an emotional core for me to latch onto. Sure there was the relationship between Peter Parker and… Continue reading Spider-Man: Far From Home Review

As a result, I was really excited for this film, especially since I’ve wanted Danny Boyle to do… Continue reading Yesterday Review
Diego Maradona Review
I feel that the best thing a documentary can do is take a subject that you know nothing about and make it compelling and make you want to learn more. I feel it’s important for me to say that since I have absolutely no interest in football. I don’t follow football, I don’t play football… Continue reading Diego Maradona Review
