I’m not really sure what I make of Emerald Fennell as a filmmaker on the whole. I thought Promising Young Woman was a brilliant film but was really disappointed with Saltburn, which had some decent ideas but ended up feeling like it was designed to shock more than entertain. With “Wuthering Heights” I didn’t really… Continue reading “Wuthering Heights” Review
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie Review
To make things clear right at the start, I am a massive fan of Looney Tunes. When I was younger I had great times watching hour long runs of classic Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, I have the full Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD set and whenever I want a bit of a relax… Continue reading The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie Review
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain Review
The past year I think has been one of the weaker periods for animated films in a while. There have been some highlights, mainly holdovers from 2024 with Flow and Memoir of a Snail, and some great recent films like KPop Demon Hunters, Predator: Killer of Killers and Zootropolis 2, but I have found most… Continue reading Little Amélie or the Character of Rain Review
Iron Lung Review
Over the past few years there has been more of a trend of YouTubers moving into the world of film. This has been going on for a while and, although there have been some notable disasters like Smosh: The Movie; Fred: The Movie and Airplane Mode where the focus was on the personality rather than… Continue reading Iron Lung Review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review
When it was first announced that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland would be going back to the “28 … Later” series a few years ago, I expected it to be an initial one and done and if there were going to be sequels there would be a little gap between them. That’s not the case… Continue reading 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review
The Voice of Hind Rajab Review
This is a hard film to watch and it needs to be. During the Israeli occupation of Gaza there have been countless war crimes committed against the Palestinian people, this film being focused on the killing of Hind Rajab by the IDF. The film does this by focusing on the call between her and the… Continue reading The Voice of Hind Rajab Review
2025 End of Year Retrospective
So we’ve come to the end of 2025 and thank goodness the year is over. I’ve had some great experiences personally, spending 2 weeks in New Zealand and seeing locations from Lord of the Rings; having some great cinema experiences with the highlights being Tremors and the short film selection at the Forbidden Worlds Film… Continue reading 2025 End of Year Retrospective
Cheltenham Film Festival: Palestine 36 Review
I think it’s best that I start out by saying that the ongoing genocide in Gaza is one of the great evils of the world today. The displacement and violence towards the Palestinian people and the indifference and active promotion of it by politicians around the world is a mark of shame. I also want… Continue reading Cheltenham Film Festival: Palestine 36 Review
Cheltenham Film Festival: Pillion Review
After a week at the London Film Festival I came to Cheltenham in time for the Cheltenham Film Festival. I’ve done a few screenings of films at this festival in the past but this is the first year where it’s really felt like they are building on the buzz of other festivals. Some of the… Continue reading Cheltenham Film Festival: Pillion Review
London Film Festival 2025: Finding Optel Review
So we’ve now come to my final film of the 2025 London Film Festival. I’ve had a great time at the festival and seen a lot of great films and I wanted to end with another more obscure one that I wouldn’t see normally, with the times working out to see Finding Optel. I’ve not… Continue reading London Film Festival 2025: Finding Optel Review
