2021 Reviews – The Little Things
After two slower and somewhat tranquil films, finally again, something that looks like it’ll have those meaty stakes I can sink my teeth into. I thought One Direction had already taught me everything I’d need to know about the ‘little … Continued
O Academy, Where Art Thou?
Let’s start with something easy; Parasite was the best movie I’ve seen released in 2019. At the 92nd Annual Academy Awards last year, it was a well-deserving winner of the Oscar for Best International Feature Film. Heck, it was so … Continued
2021 Reviews – Minari
Minari; not to be confused with Atari – one is this movie, and the other is a classic videogaming console. From the trailer, Minari mightn’t seem like something overly appealing to me, but damned if I’m going to be left … Continued

2021 Reviews – Ammonite
Saoirse Ronan spins her wheel of accents and what does it land on today? English! Very nice. Ronan is very talented across the board and loves to mix it up. Equally, Kate Winslet is looking for her next project where … Continued
