Blog: My Top 10 Films of 2019!

2019 is about to end, so here is my personal Top 10 films of the year! Now, please note that I haven't seen every film that has been released, so I may well have missed a few gems and there may be some omissions. Who knows, I may revisit this one day as I see …

Film Review: Star Wars Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker

This review will be spoiler-free. "The end of the Skywalker saga." - That's how this film was advertised to us, and anyone with an ounce of common sense would know that the true ending of the Skywalker saga came in 1983. Regardless of whether you love or hate the Sequel Trilogy, let's not pretend that …

Film Review: Jumanji – The Next Level

Mild spoilers follow. 2017's Jumanji - Welcome to the Jungle was one of the biggest surprises for me that year, I wasn't expecting anything and I came away shocked by just how much I had enjoyed it. So, naturally, this time around I was excited for the next instalment in the franchise. But, was it any good? …

Film Review: Joker

As of this writing, Joker has made over $1 billion at the box office and is the most profitable "comic book" film of all time. So, is this a justified accolade? Yes, yes, a million times yes. Joker is currently my favourite film of 2019, and it's going to take something impressive to take that title away from it. …

Film Review: El Camino

Mild spoilers for Breaking Bad and El Camino follow. I'm ashamed to say, that up until a couple of days ago, I had never seen Breaking Bad. I know, shame on me, right? But, I have righted that wrong over the last month and binged the entire show and I finished by watching El Camino over the weekend. …

Film Review: Doctor Sleep

Mild spoilers follow! After almost 40 years, cinema-goers are returning to the Overlook Hotel and the world of The Shining. Considering it's predecessor is often acknowledged as one of the greatest films ever made, Doctor Sleep had a lot to live up to. Not only did it need to be a faithful adaptation of Stephen King's book, (King …

Film Review: Good Boys

It's been a while! Apologies for the lack of reviews lately, I've been extremely busy and thought that it would be better to take a break rather than force myself to write when I wasn't really feeling it. So, there's a lot for me to catch up on! Just to ease myself back in, here's …

Film Review: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino, audiences will flock to go and watch his work, understandably so, he's one of the finest filmmakers of all time. But out of all of his films, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood appears to be his most divisive. But which camp was I in? Did I adore it, or was I left underwhelmed and …

Film Review: Hobbs & Shaw

I'm not going to beat around the bush, Hobbs & Shaw is completely and utterly ridiculous, it often makes no sense and it has very little substance apart from over-the-top action for over 2 hours... It's not a great movie, at all. But, I'm not ashamed to admit that despite this, I had a smile on …

Film Review: The Lion King

After the success of 2016's The Jungle Book, Jon Favreau returns to helm a remake of the 1994 classic, The Lion King. What did I think? Well, let's focus on the positives first. Visually, the film is phenomenal. This is quite possibly the best CGI/animation I've ever seen on the big screen, the animals and environments look …
