The newest instalment into Cooper Raiff’s filmography has secured him as one of my favourite up and coming directors. With both his cinematic outings there’s this rare quality that exists inside them that is so hard to put into words. It’s an unfathomable amount of charm and warmth that just nails the human experience, and …
Damn the animation in 1995 really went hard. As far as corporate cash grabs go, Lightyear actually presents an interesting premise on its surface. The film that was made is actually the film Andy saw as a child that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy. This allows the film to have a wholly original premise …
So, this film has been out for a while, yet it has only come to the UK recently and while waiting to watch this it’s been hard to avoid the overwhelming praise this film has received. While on one hand that’s exciting, on the other, it sets ridiculously high expectations for the film. Yet, this …
One of the most original and inventive pieces of content to come out in the last decade, Severance is a refreshing and mind-boggling mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat right from the first moment to the frustratingly brilliant ending. The premise alone is enough to keep you enthralled throughout, set in …
To say I had high expectations for this is putting it lightly. Normal People is one of the best miniseries ever created, and with the same creative team adapting yet another Sally Rooney novel, I perhaps unfairly expected a show of equal quality. Though I should mention before saying anything else I’m coming from the …
For the longest time now the biggest critique facing the biggest cinematic franchise in history is how “samey” everything feels. The films often lack a director’s vision, or a unique tone or visual style, they’re all cookie cutter films made to fit the Marvel mould. However, this has never been an opinion I’ve adopted, there’s …
Moon Knight brings Oscar Isaac into the MCU and it’s all the better for it, however it also brings a whole lot of inconsistency. Reflecting on this show, if Oscar Isaac wasn’t in the lead role, it genuinely wouldn’t work as well as it does. A similar sentiment can be expressed about the cast as …
Someone please just tell Sony to sell the Spider-Man characters back to Marvel. Morbius is another fantastic addition into the catalogue of Sony Spider-Man films that completely butcher the basics of storytelling to make for a painfully boring and non-sensical plot. If you go in knowing this, you’ll probably have an ok time, but not …
Look, if you go into this film knowing what to expect, you’re gonna have a really fun time. I was audibly laughing multiple times during the film. Now was this because the jokes were particularly funny? In most cases, no. I was fully laughing at the film, but through Jim Carey’s insane performance, a glorious tribute …
Fresh is truly refreshing. There’s something so tonally unique about it that the safety of the comedy makes the horror so much more terrifying. I’m not normally someone who can stomach horror films all that well, but this was surprisingly palatable. What’s happening is truly horrific, but the thrill of knowing there’s some hope for …
