Jerry Maguire (1996) Review

April 26, 2022April 24, 2022 Ben

It is rare that you watch a movie where Tom Cruise is not likeable. Unfortunately for Jerry Maguire, where Tom Cruise plays the titular character, that is exactly the case. This would be fine if you slowly grow to like … Continue reading Jerry Maguire (1996) Review

CODA (2021) Review

April 1, 2022March 31, 2022 Ben

There is a strange balancing act that CODA attempts for the first two-thirds at least. On one hand you have a movie which seemingly tells a straight and realistic story of a CODA (child of deaf family), as Emilia Jones’ … Continue reading CODA (2021) Review

Spencer (2021) Review

February 16, 2022 Ben

Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer will be recognised as one of the all-time great biopic performances. To say it is transformative is an under-statement as barring any actual physical resemblance, the mannerisms, accent and altogether way that … Continue reading Spencer (2021) Review

Titanic (1997) Review

December 18, 2021December 16, 2021 Ben

You’d be mistaken for thinking that Titanic was a film about a sinking ship. This is a perfectly crafted love story, which just happens to be set on the most famous ship of all time. If the film had ended … Continue reading Titanic (1997) Review

Amelie (2001) Review

November 25, 2021November 23, 2021 Ben

Some films are just very well-told stories, with a distinct identity that fits the narrative perfectly. Amelie is one of those movies. From the moment it begins you realise you are watching a film which is “quirky” but unlike many … Continue reading Amelie (2001) Review

Dune (2021) Review

November 17, 2021November 16, 2021 Ben

Director Denis Villeneuve has his work cut out for him as he delivers the notoriously complicated Dune. This is science-fiction on its grandest scale, delivering many worlds, many families, a complex political structure and back-story beyond back-story. At the same … Continue reading Dune (2021) Review

Hillbilly Elegy (2020) Review

November 8, 2021November 7, 2021 Ben

Hillbilly Elegy is the perfect example of how performances can elevate a movie beyond average. This is a film full of fantastic performances and people who make you believe their character and care about their story. Oscar winners who add … Continue reading Hillbilly Elegy (2020) Review

Almost Famous (2000) Review

September 8, 2021September 8, 2021 Ben

One aspect of Almost Famous that makes it so watchable is the fact that it feels like it could have been a true story. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were many bands watching this movie and recognising the different … Continue reading Almost Famous (2000) Review

Ghost World (2001) Review

September 1, 2021August 31, 2021 Ben

There is something perfectly intriguing about watching people play out their ordinary lives. Many a movie has taken this approach to differing effect and Ghost World falls into the category of a movie where very little really happens. For this … Continue reading Ghost World (2001) Review

Denial (2016) Review

November 5, 2020 Ben

If written well enough, with the right kind of stakes, a courtroom drama can be as good as any movie featuring a car chase or any kind of action-laden thriller. Denial fits that very well because it has meaningful, historic … Continue reading Denial (2016) Review
