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,…

London Film Festival 2020: Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes Review

Whenever I am able to watch a good handful of films from a film festival, I always try and have a documentary be one of those films. I’ve not always succeeded, but in this instance I have. Looking at the documentaries on offer, this one, focusing on Delia Derbyshire, probably best known for producing the…

Thoughts on Justice League: The Snyder Cut

Today it was announced that HBO Max is going to be releasing the long demanded for Snyder Cut of Justice League. Following the release of Justice League in 2017, and the belief from campaigners that the film released in cinemas was ruined when Joss Whedon was brought on to re-write and do some re-shoots for…

X-Men: Dark Phoenix Review

The X-Men series has been very hit and miss for me. There have been some great highs with films like X-Men: First Class and Logan and some real lows like X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: Apocalypse. Now though, we have come to the end of this series of X-Men films before the rights to the…

Woman at War Review

I have to say that I’m not really familiar with Icelandic cinema. I’ve heard about some prominent Icelandic films like Of Horses and Men and Rams, but I’ve never had the chance to see them. So, when I found an opportunity to watch Woman at War, which I’d heard great things about, I decided to…

Searching Review

The growing trend of shooting films from the perspective of phones has never really had a true champion before. Films like Unfriended and Open Windows have explored that idea, but could never convince me that they deserved to be released in the cinema rather than going straight to Netflix so it can be viewed on…

Going Through the MCU

Since it is now just under a week at the time of writing this from the release of Avengers: Infinity War, I thought it would be best to go over the other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to build up my anticipation for Infinity War and to have something more concrete in place for…

End of Year Round Up 2017

So 2017 has been and gone and thank god it has. Whilst I have had a good year personally, finishing up my Masters; crossing Oslo off of the list of cities I’ve always wanted to see; saw a live production of Angels in America; recorded episodes of The Lambcast, The Film Pasture and Forgotten Filmcast…
