Quentin Tarantino’s eighth feature would obviously be highly anticipated by the large number of fans he has gathered over the past 24 years, yet may be even more so in light of his recent comments that he only plans to make two more films before retiring. Tarantino fans will not be disappointed with this latest…
The lead performances in The Danish Girl had been attracting buzz since the announcement of the cast. As the film itself finally arrives, it shows the buzz has been truly deserved as this film is very much anchored by the partnership of Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander. The film tells the true story of Lily…
Joy is loosely based on the story of Joy Mangano, inventor of the miracle mop. It’s a lot more interesting than that sounds. This is not an inventor film about the awe and admiration someone received after creating something revolutionary, it is about an ordinary woman who had an idea and worked extremely hard to…
The time has finally arrived. The seventh film in the generation-spanning saga has hit the screens. You’ll enter your local cinema screen either excited or stubborn due to your loyalty and protective feelings over the franchise. JJ Abrams is faithful to the original films, maintaining their core feeling and crafting a film that does feel…
Spielberg’s latest effort (seems an undeserving word to describe a film by such a masterful director) is a terrific Cold War drama that rests on the reliable shoulders of frequent collaborator, Tom Hanks. This espionage thriller details the true story of how lawyer James Donovan (Hanks) is recruited by the CIA to negotiate the swap…

Genius. The word has been used to describe both Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs, and rightfully so. Danny Boyle’s electric yet restrained direction melds perfectly with Aaron Sorkin’s ambitious and brilliant three-act script to create an enthralling journey through the life and mind of Steve Jobs. Sorkin’s script is phenomenal, it manages to fully place…
After the phenomenal success of Skyfall, SPECTRE has had a lot to live up to, and hasn’t shied away from the challenge. The film oozes confidence and doesn’t use its huge budget excessively, the exotic locations and gadgets all, arguably, integral to the plot, and bases its final showdown back in the UK- a successful…
Today is the day. The future is now. We have finally reached the day Marty and Doc travelled to from 1985, and our future is…not quite as it was imagined in the film, but Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale did get an amazing amount right. While we may not have hoverboards or flying cars (or…
Suffragette is an important film, and deserves to be. The historically important events that it shows are of the utmost importance but sadly have faded in people’s minds over the years. This film will instil in you the great significance and heroism of these women, and will evoke your well-earned gratitude. It is astonishing that…
