Favourite Films of the Decade

Since this is the end of the decade, I thought it would be fun to go over my top 10 favourite films of the decade. Whilst there are still loads of films that I haven’t seen and there are some notable blindspots in the things I have seen, I am fairly confident in my top…

2019 Film Roundup

Hello everyone, it’s time to go over 2019 in film. As a year in film, I found this year pretty mixed on a whole. Whilst the films that were good were really good, a lot of films this year I found to be pretty middling, a lot of films I’d rate 3.5 or 3 out…

Jojo Rabbit Review

Taika Waititi I think is one of the most interesting directors working today. Through films like What We Do in the Shadows and Thor: Ragnarok, Waititi has made some of the funniest films I’ve seen this decade so when Jojo Rabbit was announced, I was really excited for it. I’ve not read the book this…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review

This is a tricky film to talk about. I am a Star Wars fan, but not to the extent that I’m a fan of something like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I have found things to like in all of the Star Wars films, even Attack of the Clones, and I did enjoy The Force…

Cats Review

I can’t say that Cats was a film I was really looking forward to. Since the first trailer was released with the terrifying images of the cats I was creeped out and didn’t originally intend to watch the film. However, as more information about the film has come out and I read reviews, I must…

Little Women Review

To make it clear before I dive in, I haven’t seen any previous adaptations of Little Women and I haven’t read the book. I’m aware of the story, Little Women is one of those works which has become culturally ubiquitous, but I wasn’t fully familiar with the story. My excitement for this was based more…

Black Christmas Review

The original Black Christmas is one of those horror films that helped define the slasher genre. Coming out in 1974 and being an influence on John Carpenter’s Halloween the original is meant to be a classic, but I haven’t seen it, nor have I seen the 2006 remake of the film. This version of Black…

A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood Review

This is an interesting film to talk about as a 24 year old Brit. Whilst he is a beloved icon in the US, Fred Rogers isn’t really known in the UK. Any information I know about him is based on cultural osmosis from what I’ve seen in America so I was interested to see how…

Jumanji: The Next Level Review

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a film that I didn’t really have an interest in seeing in the cinema. I’d heard decent things about it, but it was one I thought would be as good to see when released on streaming/DVD. I just recently watched it and I found it to be a pretty…

Knives Out Review

The murder mystery genre is one that doesn’t see much attention on film. Sure, these kinds of narratives are all the rage on TV, but on film we don’t get that many and when we do get them, they’re usually adaptations, mostly of Agatha Christie. So hearing that we would be getting an original murder…
