Movies in August

Sigh. At this point it’s not safe to even speculate what’s going to happen. I thought I would have skipped off to the cinema by now to enjoy a chance of watching a classic movie on the big screen. But alas, I am still cinema-less. In the UK, Vue, which is my local cinema chain, […]

July Favourites

It’s that time again: MONTHLY FAVOURITES. Succinct favourites across my consumption of film, television and novels, as well as what I’ve been up to creatively.

Random Review: Midnight in Paris

A recent release on Netflix, when I picked this movie I knew that it was vaguely popular, but more so went into it because it was only an hour and a half. I don’t tend to veer towards Owen Wilson movie and so I found myself pleasantly surprised to have really enjoyed Midnight in Paris. For […]

Trilogy Review: James Bond (1995–2002)

Netflix Review: The Old Guard

A group of centuries-old protectors are being hunted down in the hopes their genetics can be analysed and be humanities saviour – for a price.

Movies in July

There are rumours that cinemas will begin opening from mid-July – HAZAR! As most movies have been delayed, I have read that UK Cinemas have been given access to old 450 movies for rerelease in order to tide audiences over until newer titles are back in full swing. I will be keeping my eyes peeled […]

Trilogy Review: Iron Man

Iron Man is simply that – a man made of iron. Or I suppose, more accurately, a man encased in a weaponised iron suit which was built, powered and used by Billionaire Tony Stark.
