Nobody Review

This is a film that really snuck up on me. Until I saw the trailer for it a few months ago, I didn’t even know this existed but it quickly became one of my most anticipated films of the year. The prospect of seeing Bob Odenkirk as an action hero, plus the teaming up of…

Land Review

This is an instance of a film that I knew pretty much nothing about before seeing it. I hadn’t seen any trailers and just stumbled across it playing at my local cinema. However, seeing that it was directed by Robin Wright, I was intrigued and decided to give it a look. I have to say…

Dream Horse Review

Before the cinemas closed during the first lockdown in the UK, I remember seeing trailers and posters for Dream Horse show up pretty much everywhere, and it was one of the last holdouts, with advance screenings still able to be booked until the day before the cinemas were forced to close. I did think that…

A Quiet Place Part 2 Review

When it was released in 2018, A Quiet Place ended up being a really pleasant surprise. A good, effective horror film which took full advantage of the nature of sound in cinema. That said, I didn’t really think there was a need for any more films to follow. I was intrigued when a sequel was…

Cruella Review

Of the Disney live action remakes, this is the one that seemed the most inexplicable. I kind of guessed that after the success of Maleficent we would get more films about the Disney villains, but I didn’t really expect Cruella de Vil would be one of them. However, I was intrigued when it was announced…

Raya and the Last Dragon Review

This is a film that I genuinely didn’t think I’d be able to see in the cinema. Once it was announced it was going to Disney+ with premier access, I thought that I’d be waiting until I could rent the DVD until I was able to see it. Luckily, when the cinemas here reopened there…

Spiral: From The Book of Saw Review

Saw is a series that I never really expected to go on for as long as it has. The first film is still a solid thriller that makes effective use of its limited budget to create scares, but as the series went on it became more focused on gore and the traps than in the…

Godzilla vs Kong Review

After nearly 6 months, I’ve finally been able to go back to the cinema. It does feel good to be going back to the cinema on a regular basis, and there should be more reviews coming up on this blog accordingly. To start though, I wanted the first film I saw back in the cinema…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review

Considering that I did a previous blog entry on the Snyder Cut of Justice League when it was announced that it would actually get released I felt it only fair that I do a review of the actual film. This isn’t going to be like one of the normal reviews I do on this blog,…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Voice of Silence Review

So for the last of the films I saw at the Glasgow Film Festival, I wanted to watch another Korean film, given that there was a focus on Korean cinema at the festival and, looking at what was on offer, this stood out to me. On paper this looked like a really good dark comedy,…
