Mrs Lowry and Son Review

Growing up where I did in the North of England, I was well aware of the works of L.S Lowry from a young age. I made school trips to The Lowry to study his art and I’ve been to see loads of comedians and plays at The Lowry so I think I have some knowledge…

Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood Review

I think it’s fair to say I’m a fan of Quentin Tarantino. Whilst I do think a lot of his films go on too long, especially The Hateful Eight, but when he’s on form you get some great films. For me personally, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained are my favourites, and…

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Review

Now I’m not really familiar with the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark series. It wasn’t really a thing when I was growing up and I don’t think I’ve seen copies of the books until the film was announced. I was intrigued by the film though due to the involvement of Guillermo Del Toro…

Pain and Glory Review

I have to say that I’ve only recently started to get into the films of Pedro Almodovar. I’d seen The Skin I Live In when it was played by the University of Birmingham Film Society, but it was only in February this year when I watched other Almodovar films with Talk To Her and All…

The Angry Birds Movie 2 Review

Now the first Angry Birds movie I thought wasn’t that bad. Granted, I did watch it on a plane coming back from Canada, but I thought it was a decent bit of fun, even though the message was a bit dodgy. Still, I wasn’t exactly hyped for the sequel but I decided to give it…

Blinded by the Light Review

Now this is a film that I’ve been saving my review of for a while. I saw this film over a month ago but I wanted to wait until it’s wide release (and seeing it again) before I made my review, to help me really gather my thoughts on the film. Now, I’m not the…

Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw Review

I’ve never really been into the Fast and Furious series. I’ve seen bits of most of the films, but the only one I’ve seen all the way through is Furious 6, but I wasn’t a fan of it and I’ve not seen any other films in the series since. Despite that, I was interested in…

The Current War Review

The Current War is a film that I’ve been intrigued by for a while. The film was first screened at the Toronto Film Festival in 2017, but the collapse of the Weinstein Company, and reshoots following the initial poor reception of the film, have prevented it from being released until now, with some of the…
