To be completely honest, I truly wasn't going to write a piece for Charlotte Wells' 'Aftersun' but I was left with so much to feel after the movie ended that it quite honestly affected the next two days. It's all I can think about and God forbid anyone plays 'Under Pressure' because I will break … Continue reading ‘Aftersun’ Is A Quietly Devastating Masterpiece.
One of the weirdest releases to come out in 2022 was Disney's much-anticipated sequel to their 2007 hit, 'Enchanted'. It's a movie that while successful in its own time, it grew even more and gained a larger following through the years. Fans had been chanting for a sequel for years and when Disney finally announced … Continue reading ‘Disenchanted’: A Wickedly Disappointing Sequel.
They don't make them like they used to, Halloween movies I mean. Not horror movies or thrillers, I mean movies centred around Halloween. Of course, we have the affairs of Jamie Lee Curtis going head to head with Michael Myers but it's not really a family-friendly event is it? As a child who grew up … Continue reading ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ Is Pure, Old-Fashioned Halloween Mischief.
There is only one thing certain in life and that is death. That's what I've heard all my life and it is what I will continue to hear till that constant arrives.

Seeing Sonic The Hedgehog share the big screen with his brightly-coloured pals Tails and Knuckles, ready to fight against the maniacal Eggman played by Jim Carrey sounds like a dream come true and for better or worse, 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2' absolutely delivers. The problem, as there usually is one residing in these video-game adaptations, … Continue reading ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ Is Bigger, Brighter and A Bit Much.
'Hotel Transylvania' isn't the number one result in anyone's mind when the concept of an animated franchise comes to mind. It is by far and away the most ridiculous and surprisingly expansive franchise to ever exist. Does it sell toys? Not at all. Are the movies financially profitable? Weirdly enough, yes but they ended up … Continue reading watching ‘Hotel Transylvania: Transformania’ so you don’t have to.
It has been so insanely long since a musical soundtrack has infiltrated my brain to such an addicting level. It only makes sense that the movie to do it is a Disney musical with songs composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. As the entire world knows by now, the latest Disney hit, 'Encanto' has been making quite … Continue reading Ranking The Songs From Disney’s ‘Encanto’!
This damn movie has been out for an entire month and considering I work in a movie theatre, you would think that I would've seen this by now. I had even seen the first half-hour at home but stopped because I genuinely wanted to watch this theatrically. After a tedious month of planning, I finally … Continue reading y’all are thinking too hard about ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’.
To feel comforted is to feel nostalgic, safe and loved. Whether it's mom's homemade shepherd's pie, a piece of entertainment that speaks to the soul or even a favourite blanket. If something is comforting to you, it is because it's feeding what makes you... you! To put it in simple terms, Pixar's latest film 'Luca' … Continue reading ‘Luca’ Is Pixar’s Greatest Comfort Movie.
'A Quiet Place' has become the go-to movie I recommend to anyone who is looking for a clever, terrifying and entertaining film. It is always a genuine treat seeing how people react to the out-of-the-box experience this movie provides. It's also very uncommon to find yourself getting emotional during a horror movie only to become … Continue reading ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ Is A Relentlessly Terrifying Sequel.
