Film Review: Harley Quinn – Birds of Prey

Yes, I know it's not the official UK title. But, the title over here is so long and stupid that I'm going to be referring to it's frankly superior title, which will save me a hell of a lot of time when writing this. Harley Quinn - Birds of Prey comes at a time where I'm …

Film Review: Richard Jewell

Clint Eastwood's latest film, Richard Jewell, is based on the true story of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996 and it's aftermath. I'll admit, this is an event that I had never heard of and knew nothing about, which was a large part of the intrigue when it came to watching this film as I …

Film Review: Knives Out

From the mind of Rian Johnson, comes an original Whodunnit with one of the most stacked casts I've ever seen, but is it any good?

Film Review: Jojo Rabbit

The first film I saw in 2020 was Jojo Rabbit, and what a way to kick off the year! Taika Waititi is firmly establishing himself as one of the Hollywood elite with his work in recent years, becoming one of those directors that will attract movie-goers by name alone. You always want to go and see …

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?
