Apostasy Review

I think it’s important to say up front that I am not a religious person. I used to go to church when I was younger but around 10 years ago I stopped going. That’s all to say that when it comes to religious films, I don’t have a full understanding of the mindset of people…

Mission: Impossible – Fallout Review

The Mission: Impossible series has consistently shown itself to be one of the best action franchises in modern cinema. After rocky beginnings with the first two films, the formula and brilliance of these films came into their own with Mission: Impossible 3. Whilst that one is my personal favourite in the series, the positive influence…

Searching Review

The growing trend of shooting films from the perspective of phones has never really had a true champion before. Films like Unfriended and Open Windows have explored that idea, but could never convince me that they deserved to be released in the cinema rather than going straight to Netflix so it can be viewed on…

First Reformed Review

So I’m not fully familiar with the works of Paul Schrader. I’ve seen some of the films he’s written like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull but I’ve not seen any of the other films he’s either wrote or directed. As such, I was in a good position for First Reformed, having no real preconceptions of…

The Breadwinner Review

The Breadwinner is a film that I’ve had on my radar for a while. Since it’s the new film from Cartoon Saloon, the production company behind The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea and the story of the film is incredibly relevant to today. I also thought it was going to be interesting…

Incredibles 2 Review

It’s pretty obvious that The Incredibles is one of Pixar’s best films. Even if it’s not among my personal favourites, that’s only because of how good other Pixar films are. Since it was released people have been clamouring for a sequel but we didn’t get one until now. With Brad Bird returning to give us…

The First Purge Review

The Purge is a series that I wasn’t really interested in before this. The idea behind the series is strong, but the first film was just a bog standard home invasion film with a novel reason why the police don’t turn up and that really killed my interest in the series, the only other thing…

Hotel Artemis Review

This film seemed to come out of nowhere. I hadn’t heard of the film, then a few months ago the trailer suddenly dropped, and it looked like a lot of fun. A good, silly action film focused on a hospital for criminals, kind of like a version of The Continental from the John Wick series.…

The Bookshop Review

So right now in the UK, we are in the midst of a heatwave and one of the best places to get out of a heatwave is the cinema since cinemas have guaranteed air conditioning. That’s pretty much the main reason why I decided to give The Bookshop a go, with the cast of Emily…

Tag Review

So Tag initially wasn’t a film on my radar. I heard the premise of the film and saw one of the trailers and didn’t really think much of it. However, after how much I enjoyed Game Night, I thought it may be worth giving this another shot given that there are similarities between the two.…
