When you hear the film title ‘Pete’s Dragon’, I wouldn’t be surprised if the image of a real boy with a very green, very cartoonish dragon comes to mind. But this 2016 live action is in fact a far cry from the 1977 film it shares a title with. It may be billed as a…

‘It’s a weird case from the start’ – Knives Out (2019) Review
The Whodunnit isn’t exactly a new idea when it comes to story telling and film making, and it’s one that we are all rather familiar with really, but that doesn’t stop it from being enjoyable after all these years. That being said, it has been used so much in so many films and television dramas,…
‘I think he went back in. We have to go get him’ – Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) Review
It was back in 2017 when we were transported back into the strange world of Jumanji, 22 years on from the original. Where that famous first film brought the game into the real world, Welcome to the Jungle took real world people and threw them into the game, and now we are back with The…
‘If I wasn’t such an idiot’ – The Clapper (2017) Review
Eddie Krumble (Ed Helms) travelled to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune, basing everything on the promise of the ‘American Dream’, but instead he lives his days pay packet to pay packet, paid very little to sit in television audiences and clap along when told. He bumbles his ways through his days, only…
‘The noblest art is that of making others happy’ – The Greatest Showman (2017) Review
Now it’s not very often that music from a movie musical makes it into the mainstream world, being played on radio and television on a regular basis, but there is one movie musical that has achieved this, and that is The Greatest Showman. The 2017 Hugh Jackman led spectacular went global, and made stars of…
‘I’m the next criminal mastermind’ – Artemis Fowl (2020) review
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…
‘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…
‘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…
‘No one listens to Springsteen anymore. He’s history!’ – Blinded by the Light (2019) review
The power of music is sadly often underestimated in today’s society, where in reality it can have a huge impact on someone’s life. Music can be a comfort in difficult times, a way of bringing people together and an inspiration to many. Power can be found in the lyrics, and freedom can be found in…
