Futures in Film

From a fairly young age, I knew that I wanted to work in film, but I didn’t know how I would manage that. Although I dabbled in drama at school, I definitely was not an actor, although directing seemed cool it wasn’t for me, and I could not manage the post-production side – so I […]

Challengers

‘Challengers’ was by far my most anticipated film of 2024, as a big Zendaya fan seeing her lead a film like this was already exciting but the trailers and hype surrounding this film had it heading straight to number one on my list. When you are so excited to see a film there’s often a […]

The Oscar’s Best Pictures ranked

Every year I set myself the goal of watching every nomination in the Best Picture category for the Oscars and every year I fail…. Until this year! One of the reasons I usually don’t succeed is likely because I hadn’t been open-minded enough to try films I wouldn’t usually see but last year when I […]

The Iron Claw

’I guess it’s because I used to be a brother. And now i’m not a brother anymore.’ This post is a little bit delayed because I actually saw The Iron Claw at the end of January but went on a little holiday! The Iron Claw is inspired by the true story of the Von Erich […]

Mean Girls and Musical Marketing

‘Was it actually good? I’ve heard it’s really bad’ is the response I get every time I mention I’ve seen the new Mean Girls film and every time I answer saying I loved the musical so of course I would enjoy this! The problem is… a lot of people don’t like musicals. If you have […]

All Of Us Strangers

‘One night in his near-empty London tower block, screenwriter Adam has a chance encounter with mysterious neighbour Harry, puncturing the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam finds himself drawn back to his childhood home, where his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they […]

My Top 10 of 2023… so far

It’s been two weeks since we rang in the new year yet there are still a lot of 2023 releases I haven’t gotten around to seeing yet as they haven’t been released in the UK yet or haven’t become available to watch, however, I thought it would be fun to summarise my top 10 2023 […]

anyone but you

Often I find it can be hard to get a romcom right – but Anyone But You didn’t have that struggle. At the end of the day, the romantic comedy genre isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s fun! and this film was exactly that. Not only did I enjoy it but I’m pretty sure everyone in the […]

Priscilla

Priscilla was one of my most anticipated movies for the later part of this year so when I got the chance to see an early preview at Cineworld I was very excited. Priscilla is based on Priscilla Presley’s autobiography ‘Elvis and Me’ and follows their relationship from Priscilla’s perspective, beginning from their first meeting in […]

wonka

As a musical movie and Timothée Chalamet lover, I was super excited to see Wonka and obviously had to make sure I was there the night it was released. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, so I went into the film fairly blind (bar the trailer and production shots) but I […]
