A Sony Picture, Written by Erin Cressida Wilson, Directed Atom Egoyan. The erotic thriller has the potential to be one of the best genres in cinema when done right, but it is a genre that has also had so many poor films and knock offs that it is often tough to take serious. This film …

Batman: Year One (2011) – Review
A Warner Bros Picture, Written by Tab Murphy, Directed by Sam Liu, Lauren Montgomery. Over the years DC has produced some truly special animation, from Batman: The Animated Series all the way through to the current Harley Quinn show, and while this isn’t a particularly bad film, it certainly doesn’t match up to those heights. …
Batman (1966) – Review
A 20th Century Fox Picture, Written by Lorenzo Semple Jr, Directed by Leslie H. Martinson. Superhero cinema is the dominate force in the movie landscape right now, with the MCU and Worlds of DC dominating the box office. However, it all had to start somewhere, and this is one of the very milestones. This film …
The Witch (2016) – Review
A A24 Picture, Written and Directed by Robert Eggers. Robert Eggers is a firmly established member of the ‘A24 family’ now, following this film and his hit ‘The Lighthouse’, and while I enjoyed this film, you can see he really upped his game with his second feature. ‘The Witch’ is packed full to atmosphere, folklore, …
Eighth Grade (2018) – Review

Sergio (2020) – Review
A Netflix Original Picture, Written by Craig Borten, Directed by Greg Barker. This isn’t a bad film, but it also isn’t really a good film, it just exists. It tells the story of a fascinating man in a very uninspired style, and seems to focus on the wrong aspects, therefore leaving an unsatisfactory feeling when …
The Bling Ring (2013) – Review
An A24 Picture, Written and Directed by Sofia Coppola. The true story of the ‘Bling Ring’ is so utterly ridiculous and fascinating that I was really hoping we would get a deep exploration of the story and the people behind it. However, I cannot criticise the film for not being what I wanted, because it …

One place (although of course there are much more important things) it has hugely impacted is the movie industry.
