Billy Elliot (2000) Review

January 27, 2020January 27, 2020 Ben

There is something perfectly simple about Billy Elliot. At its core it is a movie about a boy who disobeys his family’s wishes and pursues ballet dancing in secret. Not exactly a complex, deep plot but hidden just underneath this is … Continue reading Billy Elliot (2000) Review

Creed II (2018) Review

September 20, 2019September 20, 2019 Ben

Creed managed an impossible task of breathing life into a franchise long thought dead. Rocky Balboa ended the Rocky franchise with a suitable chapter but Creed managed to show that there was life in Rocky as a supporting character and that … Continue reading Creed II (2018) Review

Rocky Balboa (2006) Review

September 16, 2019 Ben

There is a reason people buy Greatest Hits albums. That heavy dose of nostalgia, the fact you have all the best moments from your favourite band in one single, accessible place and a clear way to recognise and celebrate the achievements … Continue reading Rocky Balboa (2006) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky IV (1985) Review

April 29, 2019 Ben

The 80s hit the Rocky franchise hard and Rocky IV was the proof. Having hit a franchise high with Rocky III, Rocky IV feels a world away and almost like an entirely different movie franchise altogether. The transformation from resilient under-dog … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky IV (1985) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky III (1982) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky II (1979) Review

April 23, 2019April 23, 2019 Ben

Rocky was a movie that didn’t need a sequel. It ended as the perfect underdog story and showcased one of Sylvester Stallone’s best performances. The film was a huge success, winning Best Picture at the Oscars, so a sequel seemed to … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky II (1979) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky (1976) Review

April 2, 2019April 2, 2019 Ben

Rocky could be the greatest underdog of all time. There is a realism to Rocky which makes the main character’s struggle and his overcoming of the odds so much more enjoyable and realistic. Rocky isn’t suffering from a brain injury or … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky (1976) Review
