Casablanca (1942) – Review
A Warner Bros Picture, Written by Julius J. Epstein, Phillip G. Epstein, Howard Koch, Directed by Michael Curtiz. ‘Casablanca’ regularly appears on many lists of the greatest movies of all time, and very often near to the top, and it’s almost impossible to argue against it. It is a film of such style, importance and […]
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) – Review
A CBS Films Picture, Written and Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The Coen Bros are one of the best and most respected writing/directing forces in the indie film world, due to their amazing works on countless classics. This is one of their more low key releases, but it equally has a very passionate fan […]
Four Wedding and a Funeral (1994) – Review
A Rank Film Picture, Written by Richard Curtis, Directed by Mike Newell. This is one of the most definitive rom-coms in history and has been much referenced and copied in the years since it’s release, but is it actually that’s good? Well the answer is mostly yes. This definitely enjoyable movie is structured in five […]
The Party’s Just Beginning (2018) – Review
A Blue Finch Picture, Written and Directed by Karen Gillan. This film is advertised as a ‘comedy-drama’ and while it does have the occasional moment of humour, this is a very dark drama focusing on mental health, assault, and death. It runs at a tight 90 minutes and get still is able to tell it’s […]
Notting Hill (1999) – Review

While this is […]

Enchanted (2007) – Review
A Walt Disney Picture, Written by Bill Kelly, Directed by Kevin Lima. This film, about a classic Disney animated princess thrown into the real live action world, is both a homage and parody of Disney’s iconic film, and it manages to carefully walk the line between homage and parody very well, and with the addition […]
Sadhbh (2019) – Review
In this short film, written by and starring Laura Whitmore, a young woman struggles with her mental health in a modern world, whilst also holding a tragic secret. The film is interesting and well made, but feels like it could be a bit clearer on exactly the story it is trying to tell, as it […]
The King of Staten Island (2020) – Review
A Universal Picture, Written by Judd Apatow, Dave Sirus, Pete Davidson, Directed by Judd Apatow. Until this year I’d not particularly been a fan of Pete Davidson, but after his surprisingly good Netflix special from a few months ago, and now this very strong film, I think it’s clear he’s a real talent with a […]
