2020 Film Round-Up

So we’ve come to the end of 2020 and thank heavens it has finally happened. With everything that has been going on in the world, this has been one of the worst years in recent memory and it doesn’t look like things will lighten up any time soon. In the film world, numerous films have…

Wonder Woman 1984 Review

I’ve made it pretty clear in the past that I think the DC Extended Universe has had a pretty shaky start, especially when compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve only thought about half of the DCEU films released so far have been good, and I consider Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide…

My Favourite Cinemas

With everything that’s been going on over the past few months about the potential future of the cinematic experience, I thought now would be a good time to share my own love of cinemas and I thought the best way to do this was to go through my own personal favourite cinemas. Being from the…

Ashens and the Polybius Heist Review

So right off the bat I think it’s worth saying that I am a massive fan of the work of Stuart Ashen. The Ashens YouTube channel has been a constant source of joy for me over the past few years and Barshens is one of the funniest YouTube channels out there, and it introduced me…

Taskmaster Contestant Ranking

Inspired by the recent post from Jay over at Life vs Film, in honour of the brilliance of Taskmaster, I’ve decided to do my own ranking of the contestants of the show. Now this was a difficult list and it is very likely that this order can change depending on when I re-watch the show,…

Kajillionaire Review

Now I think it’s important to start by stating that I have not seen any previous films from Miranda July. I’m familiar with them by reputation, but I haven’t seen them myself. I was still intrigue to see this though, given the positive reviews of the film and the cast lined up for it, and…

London Film Festival 2020: David Byrne’s American Utopia Review

This will be the last review that I do for films I saw as part of the 2020 London Film Festival and I was lucky that I was able to see this one in the cinema. I was intrigued to see this, firstly because I’m a fan of David Byrne, but mainly because it’s a…

London Film Festival 2020: Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes Review

Whenever I am able to watch a good handful of films from a film festival, I always try and have a documentary be one of those films. I’ve not always succeeded, but in this instance I have. Looking at the documentaries on offer, this one, focusing on Delia Derbyshire, probably best known for producing the…

London Film Festival 2020: Shadow Country Review

With the next London Film Festival film, I wanted to make sure I saw at least one more foreign language film, and looking at what was available, this one seemed interesting. The idea of a film looking at World War 2 through the eyes of a village on the Czech-Austrian border was interesting, and this…

London Film Festival 2020: After Love Review

With the next film I chose to watch at the 2020 London Film Festival, I decided to go with a bit of a wildcard, something I knew very little about but with one element that stood out to me. For this, After Love made for an interesting choice, the element that got my attention being…
