“TRAILER. Tom Hardy. Capone. Coming MAY 12. (Different title. My cut.) 🤩.” This is a tweet Josh Trank, the director+writer uploaded once the trailer became avaliable. After hitting it out of the park with 2012’s Chronicle (which I loved), and bombing hugely with 2015’s Fantastic Four (I didn’t dislike it as much as others but regardless,…

With a very good group of friends, I sat down to watch this via Netflix. Considering the zeitgeist at the moment and how you can’t exactly go to the cinema, I thought it would be a really intriguing experience, especially as it stars the one and only Chris Hemsworth! It’s about a mercenary (Tyler, played…

Heads up, Kitty Green (the director and writer) doesn’t want to emphasise this film as being related to Harvey Weinstein. His shadow sure looms over, but I can see where she’s coming from. All this is about essentially is a day-in-the-life of a film company assistant, Jane (played with extremely committed low-key energy by Julia…

Not too long after Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? began, like lots of British people I got caught up in the fever, even though I was only around eight at the time. My brother and I would even use one of the tie-in books and quiz each other, and owned the Game Boy Advance…

(No relation at all to the musical other than the setting also being Montfermil) Watching Les Miserables reminded me of this year being the 25th anniversary of La Haine, another highly powerful French movie engaging with their issue of police brutality, and how this sadly feels circular in terms of talking about what’s essentially the same…

This is my 6th time watching the film, and I still somehow think it’s great. It can’t just be hype on its own that makes me still a fairly big fan though, has to be something more as well. What could it all be? Well, I was inspired to rewatch this because given the whole…

I recently watched this with my parents via quite an interesting release strategy, PVOD (Premium Video On Demand). That means a film’s simultaneously watchable in the cinema as well as purchasable per streaming. It’s nothing new by all means, but it’s curious that given the Coronavirus some studios are releasing certain movies straight through this…

When this came out back in 2007 I remember seeing it with a friend, and we were both in Year 10 at the time and afterwards ended up discussing I Am Legend with fellow Year 10s during lunch such as regarding the social isolation Will Smith’s Robert Neville suffers from being alone for three years,…

The Railway Children: Since childhood I’ve always meant to watch The Railway Children (1970), yet for some reason I never did, so have now corrected this “sin”, and I can say this was a pretty cool watch. It’s about three well-off children, Roberta, Phillis, and Peter, who after their father’s accused of a crime have…

I happened to come across this in Total Film magazine, and it piqued my curiosity, so I thought why not give System Crasher a watch? And boy, was it worth a watch, although the subject matter’s admittedly quite raw. It’s a German film directed and written by Nora Fingscheidt where per undercover research she happened…
