Tenet (Spoilers)

Before the whole world began to fall apart, we used to go out and do things i.e go to the cinema and truth be told I have missed that experience. When I heard that Tenet was getting a new release date I knew that I had to go and experience this how it should be

My Top American High School Films

I grew up in an era that was full of American high school films. A lot of these films are cringe-worthy and follow a similar narrative, however now and then you do find a hidden gem!  Here are my top 10 American high school films: 10. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) When

Harry Potter Ranked

If anyone knows me in person, they know that I am a big Harry Potter fan. I’ve read all of the books and I’ve seen the films multiple times as well as going to the studios in Watford – I’m still saving to go to the Disneyland attraction! I do want to highlight that I

Blindspotting

Blindspotting is a title that I’ve heard thrown around cinephiles however I never thought to look into its context and I’m glad I didn’t for once. Ironically I went into this film blind! It was placed on my home page of Netflix so I thought let’s give it a go. SynopsisThe film is set in

Da 5 Bloods

Spike Lee is a director who is known for his films which depict black lives and culture on the big screen in an effective way. His filmography includes: She’s Gotta Have It, Blackkklansman, Malcolm X and many more and I’m ashamed to say that I’ve only seen three of his films prior to this week’s

Moonlight

Normally I would see a lot of films that come out around Oscar season however Moonlight is one that I missed. Some of films that were nominated that year which I did manage to see at the time were Arrival, Hidden Figures and La La Land. Finally, I now get to watch the one which

Mudbound

During these tough times I want to focus a bit more on films made by black creators as I’ve realised that I haven’t seen as many as I should. A good place to start would be with Dee Rees’ Mudbound which came out in 2017. It is based upon the book with the same name

Vertigo

Alfred Hitchcock is deemed one of the greatest directors in cinematic history from his  masterpieces such as Psycho, North by Northwest and Rear Window. He pioneered multiple camera techniques and methods of blocking that have since been replicated in other director’s work. Vertigo is one of his best and I have only just seen it

Made in Dagenham

If you asked me what happened in 1968 that affected me directly, I would maybe guess it was something to do with my family but no, I mean maybe something did happen to my mum in 1968 but that’s not what we are talking about.  SummaryIn 1968, there was a strike at the Ford Factory

Captain Fantastic ★★★★☆

What would you say If I asked you, “What do you think Captain Fantastic is about”?. Some of you may say it is a superhero film and In some ways it is, but generally it does not fall into that category.  Captain Fantastic came out in 2016 and was written and directed by Matt Ross.

Prince Avalanche★★☆☆☆

This week’s film review is something a little bit more ‘indie’. Have you heard of Prince Avalanche? No, neither had I until last week when I found it hidden on Netflix.  This film was written and directed by David Gordon Green, who previously directed Pineapple Express, Halloween and Stronger so the direction of this film

True Romance ★★★★☆

When you think of romantic films what do you think of? Love Actually, Pride and Prejudice or Bridget Jones? What if I said the most romantic film was written by Quentin Tarantino and revolved around the selling of cocaine? You would probably say no way, but stick with me on this one! In 1993, director
