Disney plus has been doing a very good job at keeping us all occupied during the lockdown with tonnes of throwback series and lots of films. It is also regularly updated with new content to keep us all going and one of it’s latest new releases is Artemis Fowl. Now, I should probably be honest…

‘I’m putting on my best show!’ – Annie (2014) review
The trend of remaking classic movies has been around for a number of years now, and it was only going to be so long before the trend reached the movie musical genre. We should have expected it really. Annie has already had the remake treatment once, when the original 1982 movie was given the Disney…
‘It could be tomorrow, or it could be today’ – Sunshine On Leith (2013)(review)
If there is a genre of movies that people either love or hate, it’s movie musicals. Now, personally I love them but I can completely understand that some people don’t. You have to have a certain mindset to love and appreciate musicals, otherwise you might just end up thinking ‘why are they singing when they…
‘Back in action! Thank God!’ – The Intern (2015) Review
It was all the way back in 2006 when we saw Anne Hathaway play the nervous newbie intimidated by a powerful female boss in The Devil Wears Prada, and back in 2015, the tables were turned as in The Intern, she plays the female boss that everyone is a little bit weary around. We are…
‘You are Fearless’ – London Town (2016) Review
The idea that music can have a huge influence on someones life isn’t a new one, but is perhaps one that isn’t really touched upon in the movie world. Music is magical, it can completely change your mood and perhaps even take you down a completely different path then the one that you imagined taking….
‘Every day could be an adventure’ – Lady and the Tramp (2019) Review
When it comes to movie making, Disney is a mega beast and a force to be reckoned with. Let’s be honest, Disney (and all of the companies that Disney owns) has already proved ridiculously popular on television and the big screen, and with Disney + now a big part of many lockdown lives, it’s now…
‘You messed with the wrong dude’ – My Spy (2020) Review
15 years after Vin Diesel’s The Pacifier mixed spy work with babysitting duties, My Spy, at first glance, may look like something similar. A big tough guy that looks completely out of place when put into a situation where he has to deal with children, but this one is a little bit different.
‘It’s official, old buddy. I’m a has-been.’ – Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019) Review
From the mind of director Quentin Tarantino comes Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, a film which both highlights and tears apart the final few years of the golden age of Hollywood, focusing on the story of actor Rick Dalton as he tries to find success in movies in the late 1960’s. With a star…
‘Life all comes down to chance’ – Love, Wedding, Repeat (2020) Review
Let’s be honest here, we are all stuck at home with little else to do but sit in front of the television and scroll endlessly through streaming services and Netflix certainly knows what they are doing by pumping out new content on a seemingly weekly basis. One of their newest film releases is romantic comedy…
‘So you see, the story is not quite as you were told’ – Maleficent (2014) review
You can always rely on Disney to twist something around and change the tale just when you think that you know the whole story. Before they started concentrating on live action remakes of their animated classics, Disney took one of those classics and turned it on it’s head, creating Maleficent, a completely new take on…
