An Oscar for Vanessa Kirby? Pieces of a Woman Review
A well-shot film with a strong script, but it’s Vanessa Kirby who steals the show.
10 Tips for the Ultimate Lockdown Movie Night
Miss the cinema? Want to know how to set up your very own Lockdown Movie Night? Look no further. Covid-19 has ruined much of 2020; jobs lost, businesses closed, events postponed… Even cinema has been terribly impacted by the closure of many cinemas and a range of exciting blockbusters’ releases postponed. The impact has been […]
Sorting Marvel Characters into Hogwarts Houses
With the sheer amount of characters in the MCU, there’s no denying the sheer range of personalities… We’ve already decided on Team Cap or Team Iron Man, but what if we sort them into Hogwarts Houses? (And you thought Avengers itself was already an ambitious crossover!) Would you be Team Gryffindor with the strong and […]
‘Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm’ Review
TL;DR As funny as the first one (perhaps more so…) An excellent continuation to the first one, without feeling like an unnecessary sequel with the same tired jokes Sacha Baron Cohen’s comedic and improvisational talents on full show Maria Bakalova does a great job holding her own (and at times steals the show) A hilarious, […]
Ant-Man and the Wasp – Review
How could you follow Infinity War?! It’s too light and formulaic and lacks a real villain, but Ant-Man and the Wasp is still a fun breath of fresh air.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout – Review
TL;DR Intricate, captivating plot Occasionally feels like the mission may be “impossible” – finally! Hints at current fears in society but doesn’t really get to the heart of them Incredible fight scenes and stand-out stunts Wonderful cast, each character bringing something special to the film Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby underused Proof that these films […]
Incredibles 2 – Review
Incredibles 2 is just as enjoyable as the first. Though it may lack the bold heart and strong messages of the first, the characters are out on full force, kicking ass and making audiences laugh in style. This is the sequel we wanted – able to stand proudly amongst other superhero films that have come out in the meantime.
Ocean’s Eight – Review
It doesn’t beat the original Ocean’s film, does little to surprise us or shake things up (other than an all-female group) and is too easy-going. But it’s enjoyable with comic moments, some nice characters and nods to the original – and it’s a refreshing joy to see a female-dominated cast in a film for everyone.
Hereditary – Review
This has everything you could want from a sophisticated horror – enough jump-scares to keep it entertaining, an eternal sense of discomfort and dread, shocking twists, a constant mystery and a terrifying climax – and all this from a feature-length directorial debut.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – Review
Not quite as exciting as the first, without a clearly defined antagonist or particularly terrifying monster… but we still love dinosaurs and asking the question “what if…?” More a stepping stone to a probably more exciting third film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is still an enjoyable enough film to keep us going.
