Top 10 of 2018

So another year has gone and so it’s time to go over my top 10 films that were released this year. This year was more difficult than normal since, owing to me now having a Cineworld Unlimited card following my move to Cheltenham for my job, I have been to the cinema much more than…

Mary Poppins Returns Review

This current trend of Disney revisiting their old classics has been a bit hit or miss for me. For every film as good as Pete’s Dragon or The Jungle Book, we get one as bad as Beauty and the Beast or Maleficent. With Mary Poppins Returns though, I had some higher hopes. Even though Rob…

Stan and Ollie Review

The silent comedies are an area of film that I wish I was more familiar with. I’ve seen some works of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, but nowhere near enough. That’s also true of Laurel and Hardy. I’ve seen a few of their works but not enough to really call myself a proper fan of…

Aquaman Review

I’ve made it clear in the past that I’m not a fan of the DCEU. Aside from Wonder Woman, there hasn’t been a good film in this series and it’s been a blatant attempt to copy the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, I do feel that I should give each film a chance, especially now that…

Once Upon a Deadpool Review

I’ve made it clear in the past that I’m not the biggest fan of the Deadpool films. I think they’re okay at best but I’ve just never been able to get into them and had no desire to rewatch them. However, this edit of Deadpool 2 got my attention just through the idea of a…

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Review

It may be controversial of me to say this, but there hasn’t been a truly excellent Spider-Man film since Spider-Man 2. Sure Tom Holland’s version is great and was used well in Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, but for stand alone Spider-Man films, they’ve ranged from the okay (Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man:…

Three Identical Strangers Review

I know that I need to see a lot more documentaries in the cinema. I think that, on a whole, I can count on one hand the number of documentaries I’ve seen in the cinema. Part of that is the way documentaries are released in the UK, with it being common for high profile ones…

Sorry To Bother You Review

Since I first saw the trailer, Sorry To Bother You has been one of my most anticipated films, but one where a UK release, for a while at least, seemed a bit sketchy. It wasn’t as bad as Snowpiercer, which has only just got a UK release, but I was worried that it would be…

Ralph Breaks the Internet Review

For me, Wreck It Ralph is one of the best films of the modern Disney revival. Sure it’s not as good as Zootropolis, Big Hero 6 or Moana, but it’s a lot of fun and has a solid message behind it. There was also plenty of potential for a sequel, one which would give more…

Creed 2 Review

The first Creed was one of the biggest surprises of the last few years. After Rocky Balboa, the Rocky series was believed to be dead, but Ryan Coogler brought new energy and life into the franchise, crafting my personal favourite film in the series. For Creed 2, whilst the story was always obvious, it was…
