So to finish off my series of anime reviews, I’m going to do a review of probably the biggest mindfuck film I’ve ever seen (that wasn’t directed by David Lynch), the End of Evangelion. Now, when I first watched the film, I did it after my housemate from last year showed me the entire series… Continue reading The End of Evangelion Review

Perfect Blue Review
Since I enjoyed writing my review of Ghost in the Shell so much, I decided to review a few more anime films for the Cult Chops feature over on the LAMB. The next two reviews that I’ll be doing will be focused on films that have celebrated their 20th Anniversary this year, and which are… Continue reading Perfect Blue Review
Ghost in the Shell (1995) Review
With the release of the American remake next week, and with the Cult Chops feature over on the LAMB focusing on anime films, I thought it was right to do a review of the original 1995 Ghost in the Shell. Now the influence of this film can be seen all over modern sci-fi, mainly with… Continue reading Ghost in the Shell (1995) Review
Get Out Review
Since the first trailer for the film was released a few months ago, Get Out had fast become one of my most anticipated films of 2017. The whole idea of, essentially, a version of The Stepford Wives but for race is something so ingenious I’m surprised it hasn’t been made until now. Plus, it marks… Continue reading Get Out Review

Whilst The Jungle Book and Pete’s Dragon were strong films, Cinderella was fairly bland and, whilst the idea behind Maleficent was strong, and the scenes… Continue reading Beauty and the Beast Review
Kong: Skull Island Review
If there’s any type of movie that I am onboard for pretty much the moment they’re announced, it’s giant monster movies. Even when the films aren’t good, there’s a great sense of charm to them that makes them so much fun to watch, which is why I’m excited for the MonsterVerse that Warner Bros is… Continue reading Kong: Skull Island Review
2017 Blind Spot: La Belle et la Bete
This month, for my blind spot pick, I wanted to tie the film I watched into a film that’s going to be released in the cinema this month and considering that this month sees the release of the live action remake of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, I thought it fitting to go back to… Continue reading 2017 Blind Spot: La Belle et la Bete
Logan Review
The X-Men films have always held a pretty weird position in my mind for comic book films. Aside from First Class, none of them have been really exceptional films, they’ve all had good elements and I’d only consider two of them to be outright bad films (Apocalypse and Origins: Wolverine). The most intriguing aspects of… Continue reading Logan Review
