Life (2017)

I think it would be fair to argue that of all the cinematic genres, sci-fi is the one that if done well, can be the most excellent, and if done poorly, can be the absolute worst. From the unbeatable classics of the genre like the Alien franchise to some criminal abominations like Battlefield Earth and…

Power Rangers (2017)

I’ll kick off this review by laying all my cards on the table and confessing my undying love for 1995’s Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie. The film, more so even than the original Mighty Morphin’ era TV show, was the property that received all of the screen time in my personal six year old…

Get Out (2017)

Beauty And The Beast and Get Out, have there ever been two such different high profile films released on the same unassuming weekend in the middle of March? Whilst one is a retelling of a, beloved, treasured old classic, the other promised to be a revolutionary work of satire that cuts deep in to the…

Beauty And The Beast (2017)

Well, here we are people, the moment has finally come for 26 years worth of nostalgia to flood back in to theatres and for the folks over at Disney to give yet another one of their beloved classics a modern re-imagination. Recent similar efforts have evoked mixed feelings for me, not liking 2015’s Cinderella but very…

Catfight (2016)

It’s been a relatively quiet week in the world of cinema, and I was looking for something low profile to tide me over until next when both Beauty And The Beast and Get Out hit the British big screens. Searching the listings, the only picture that really caught my attention was Catfight. Knowing next to nothing…

Elle (2016)

Every single year, without fail, there is always a film, nominated in one of the ‘big’ Oscar categories, that doesn’t find its way on to British screens until what feels like months after the ceremony has actually taken place. Here I am, doing my best to get over the eternally cringe inducing Best Picture cock-up…

Certain Women (2016)

Directed by Kelly Reichardt, Certain Women is another classic example of the post-Oscars season when random, non-genre specific films rise to the top of the pile and find late limited releases in screens all over the place. This particular picture first made waves way back at the beginning of last year when it debuted at…

The Fits (2015)

Welcome to the immediate post-Oscars cinematic landscape, otherwise known as the time where big releases are limited and one way or another, pictures made back in 2015 find their way on to the big screen for short, odd runs in British theatres. This year sees the turn of The Fits, a feature film debut for…
