So it continues, my journey into the brilliant and audacious Cornetto Trilogy, the genius film series put together by Edgar Wright and his frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The World’s End was the final film in the loose trilogy, and it continues the legacy left by Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz…

I had previously heard of Phase IV in passing. It never really struck me as something that I definitely needed to watch, because it honestly seemed like an obscure B-movie that may be memorable, but not necessarily very good. It was only when I saw Edgar Wright gushing about this film that I decided to…

I have been writing reviews for this blog for a few years now. One thing I have always believed is that no film should go unreviewed. Every single film I watch will be reviewed, regardless of how good or bad it is. It is a logical rule, and a principle that has never really bothered…

In my continuing (and eternal) quest to fill in cinematic blind spots, one at a time, I decided to take a journey into the future and watch Blade Runner, a film known for being one of the definitive works of science fiction cinema. It is actually pretty bizarre that I had never previously seen Blade…

Oh boy, this was a controversial one. There are just some movies that have their reputations tarnished because of some poor decisions, and one such film was Ghost in the Shell. Now I won’t pretend that I am completely in-tune with the iconic manga or anime series, but I do have a fair idea of…

I watched this film about two weeks ago when I was on holiday in Portugal. Perhaps you can attribute it to the fact that it was cold, or the fact that I was in a cinema instead of enjoying the beautiful country I was in, but I found myself hating Passengers more than I’ve hated…

Star Wars is a film franchise that has changed cinema, and regardless of how you feel about it, you can’t deny that the franchise will never, ever go away. For some, that is horrible – there are some people who truly do despise Star Wars. However, for me and countless other people, Star Wars represents…

For the past few years, there seems to be an annual “space” film – some big blockbuster set in space or related to space-travel in some way. I have liked all of them (and outright loved Gravity and The Martian), and the best part is that they were different enough to be excellent on their…
