Film: Solace

The first movie I watched this year was Solace. Yes. I’m just as surprised as you are. And, I STILL haven’t watched the new Star Wars movie. I am STILL stuck on Episode V. So, give me time. Solace features Anthony Hopkins, quite possibly my favourite villain of all time (I love and fear him […]

Film: Pan

Meh. Meh. Pan didn’t impress me or move me or give me an intriguing look into the history of one of my childhood’s favourite rebels or capture my imagination or portray any aspects of anything differently except possibly for the fact that it is indeed possible to be bored of Hugh Jackman on screen. Hugh […]

Film: Mockingjay

Don’t read this if you liked the movie Mockingjay. Don’t bother with the movie if you loved the books. Don’t bother with this review if you liked the last movies. So I loved the Hunger Games books. I think Suzanne Collins is great and everyone should be reading her stuff instead of E. L. James. […]

Film: Black Mass

Now, on the basis of being in love with Johnny Depp and everything he does, I’m already biased towards Black Mass. Johnny Depp plays a Bostonian mobster with a convincing accent who goes really rapidly from a small time racketeer to a big violent boss. Based on a true story, it tracks exactly how he […]

Film: Spectre

Spectre wasn’t Skyfall, but it wasn’t awful. #24 in the franchise is about Bond’s past comes back to haunt him and he goes on a journey to track down a ghost. There are explosions, and there are cars, and there are women. Classic Bond (I think they’re done with that Heineken sponsorship deal – didn’t see a […]

Film: Beasts of no Nation

Beasts of no Nation is one of the best movies I have watched this year, hands down in my top two of the entire year. No one else has beaten Mad Max just yet and to be honest I don’t know if they can, Star Wars notwithstanding. The movie follows a young boy -Agu – […]

Film: DOPE

Dope wasn’t as dope as I thought it was going to be, but it’s good. This is a movie about Malcolm and his two best friends, Diggy and Jib, and their adventures, so to speak, as three geeky senior year teenagers consumed by hormones in a school with unsympathetic bullies who eventually end up dealing drugs […]
