The Naked Gun

After 31 years, we’re introduced to Detective Frank Drebin’s son, Frank Drebin Jr., as he steps into his father’s famously clumsy shoes to solve a murder case and keep the Police Department from being shut down in The Naked Gun. I have to admit, this was the most fun I’ve had at the cinema in […]

Superman

If I’m going to be honest, I’ve never actually watched a DC film before… unless you count Lego Batman. However, the trailers and excitement surrounding the new Superman film had me intrigued and actually looking forward to its release. It also meant I could watch it with a completely fresh perspective, free from any preconceived […]

F1 The Movie

When the concept of an F1 film first came about, I can’t lie, I was sceptical. The sport is so interesting in itself, I couldn’t imagine how a film would work and whether it would do the sport justice, but after seeing the film, I can promise it did not disappoint. I had the incredible […]

Autumn

Autumn captures a family’s coming-of-age journey through a series of poignant snapshots, each framed around the eldest son’s visits home after leaving to study abroad. Speaking on the film, director António Sequeira said, “Growing up in the countryside of Portugal, I witnessed firsthand the struggles of its people, who often feel left behind in an […]

Bob Trevino Likes It

Every so often, a film comes along that hits me right in the heart — and Bob Trevino Likes It is one of those films. Lily (Barbie Ferreira), a twentysomething who feels utterly alone in the world—abandoned by her mother and let down by a father who never truly steps up—finds herself reaching out online […]

The Minecraft Movie & Nostalgia

The Minecraft movie is better if you’ve played the game — but best if you grew up with it. Since seeing the film on Friday, I have heard the question, ‘Is it actually good, though?’ a lot, which, to be honest, is a difficult one to answer. Firstly, because taste is subjective, and as I’ve […]

Disney’s Snow White

Disney’s Snow White is a fresh retelling of the 1937 classic – Just don’t expect a Wicked Queen. You can’t mention ‘Snow White’ in 2025 without the title being shrouded by controversy (some more important than others), but the film itself is not what the media has made it out to be. One of the […]

The Brutalist

The idea of going to see a 3h 35m film in the cinema is slightly daunting, we are accustomed to being comfortable and shorter films play into it, with even films clocking in at over 2 hours feeling long sometimes. But the first time I watched the teaser trailer for The Brutalist, I was enthralled, […]

i didn’t love babygirl

Director Halina Reijn’s ‘Babygirl’ was released in UK cinemas on the 10th of January, and like many, I was excited to see it. The film had been released earlier in America so I had already seen a lot of hype surrounding the film, plus it had an interesting concept so I had already gotten my […]

2024 in review

It’s been a little while! I haven’t been very active on this blog and I could give a tonne of excuses as to why but I hope to do better this year, so before I start this new year in film with reviews etc. I thought I could summarise my 2024 in film! Despite finishing […]
