I think its my age but I’m beginning to notice when a film is clearly not aimed at me. Not necessarily a kids film either but a movie where the story is a bit simple and its much more about the … Continue reading Project Almanac (2015) Review
If you’d told me that Disney were going to create a superhero movie – one that wasn’t handled by Marvel directly, it wouldn’t have exactly filled me with confidence. Wreck-it-Ralph was very good but hardly broke the mould when it came … Continue reading Big Hero 6 (2015) Review

His performance seems to go beyond just imitating Stephen Hawking, he practically becomes the man, mimicking his illness, mannerisms and situation to what seems like perfection. When you hear that Stephen … Continue reading The Theory of Everything (2015) Review
When a movie becomes the most successful animated movie of all time, you can’t help but feel like you should be paying attention. I’d managed to miss Frozen for the longest time and it lacked any real appeal but with … Continue reading Frozen (2013) Review
Pay attention Michael Bay, The Lego Movie is how you bring toys to the big screen. In fact, I don’t know the last time I was this impressed with the ingenuity and creativity of any movie, let alone an animated … Continue reading The Lego Movie (2014) Review
