Rian Johnson doesn’t miss Rian Johnson is the best director/screenwriter working today – at this point, I’m pretty sure you can take that to the bank. The Last Jedi and Knives Out are my two favourite movies, compelling me to catch up with his previous work. First stop, 2012’s Looper. Conclusion; Johnson just doesn’t miss….

Blade Runner is… ok?
I mean, it looks great… I hope you like hot takes, because this one is zooming out of my head and onto your screen like a flaming fastball. On my quarantine quest to catch up with all the movies that I really should have already seen but haven’t, I hit the play button on Ridley…
Curvature Review
Stylish Sci-Fi, if a little baffling Time travel movies and the confusion that comes with them. Name a more iconic duo. Low budget Sci-Fi thriller Curvature, directed by Diego Hallivis, doesn’t escape this age old trap. The thing is, it’s a movie that does enough right for me to somewhat turn a blind eye and…
UFO (2018) Review
Streaming Maths Part of the joy of modern movie streaming is discovering a hidden gem. The kind of movie that you’d see sitting on the shelf in HMV, or even Blockbuster – (hello all you 90’s kids out there) – and simply walk by. “I can’t spend cash money on this. I know nothing about…
1917 Review
Unparalleled Immersion *Spoiler warning* – Spoilers for Sam Mendes’ technical wonder 1917 lie ahead.

First Impressions of The Rise of Skywalker
Non-Spoiler Thoughts Maybe it was spending nine hours in the cinema for the sequel trilogy triple bill, or the fact that it was 3am. Regardless, when the credits rolled after the midnight screening of The Rise of Skywalker, I knew I liked it but the question was to what extent. After all, this was a…
Knives Out Review
Smartest movie of the year I’ve never seen a single episode of Murder, She Wrote, or watched Murder on the Orient Express. Heck, I haven’t even played Cluedo in years. So, I guessed a whodunnit’ murder mystery would make for a nice change of pace. Knives Out was one of my most anticipated movies of…
Le Mans ’66 Review
Capturing the magic of Le Mans The Le Mans 24 Hours is a jewel of the motorsport crown. It’s the most gruelling race in the game and while the weight of an overall victory has been diminished in recent years, there is still a magic that envelops the event. It will come as no surprise…
Joker Review
No joke *Spoiler warning* The following review contains plenty of spoilers for the movie, and you definitely don’t want this one spoilt. Oh, you’ve already seen it? Great, carry on… In a year where Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame blitzes the all-time box office record and Star Wars fans gear up for the conclusion of a story…
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood Review
What is it meant to be?! *Spoiler warning* This review will contain spoilers for Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. So, if you haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t want Tarantino’s artwork spoiled then save this and come back once you’ve seen it. As I mentioned in the very first article ever posted on…
