The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Review

This is a film I was excited to see as soon as it was announced. I don’t think any actor has the same kind of reputation that Nicolas Cage has and over the past few years we’ve had some of Cage’s best performances in things like Pig and Color Out of Space. He has the…

Parallel Mothers Review

Whenever a film by Pedro Almodovar is released, it’s one of the few times when a film not in English is given a fairly wide release in the UK. I had previously watched Pain and Glory in the cinema and became more familiar with some of Almodovar’s other films. As such, I was excited to…

Nightmare Alley Review

Every time a new Guillermo Del Toro film is announced it instantly becomes a highly anticipated film for me and this was no exception. I hadn’t read the book or seen the original version of Nightmare Alley, but the involvement of Del Toro was enough to convince me to watch it. The film follows Stanton…

The Power of the Dog Review

Whenever there’s a fairly high profile film that Netflix releases I always try and see it if I get the chance. Seeing The Irishman in the cinema was an incredible experience but aside from that I haven’t actually seen that many in the cinema. So when the option came up to see The Power of…

People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan Review

I think it’s worth saying right out of the gate that I’ve not seen a full episode of People Just Do Nothing. I’m familiar with the show having seen a few clips of it, the British Airways safety videos with Asim Chaudhry and Chaudhry’s appearance on Taskmaster. That said, I think that any film should…

Black Widow Review

After way too long, we finally have a film focused on Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now part of that delay is pandemic related but still it should not have taken until Phase 4 of the MCU in order for a Black Widow film to be made. We have it now though and,…

Another Round Review

When this film won pretty much every award for Best Foreign Language Film earlier in the year, this jumped up my radar on films to watch. I was already interested to see it based on how much I appreciated the previous collaboration between Thomas Vinterberg and Mads Mikkelsen, The Hunt, and I was lucky enough…

2020 Film Round-Up

So we’ve come to the end of 2020 and thank heavens it has finally happened. With everything that has been going on in the world, this has been one of the worst years in recent memory and it doesn’t look like things will lighten up any time soon. In the film world, numerous films have…

My Favourite Cinemas

With everything that’s been going on over the past few months about the potential future of the cinematic experience, I thought now would be a good time to share my own love of cinemas and I thought the best way to do this was to go through my own personal favourite cinemas. Being from the…

Taskmaster Contestant Ranking

Inspired by the recent post from Jay over at Life vs Film, in honour of the brilliance of Taskmaster, I’ve decided to do my own ranking of the contestants of the show. Now this was a difficult list and it is very likely that this order can change depending on when I re-watch the show,…
