I’m still not over the shock of Parasite of winning Best Picture and three other prizes (what an amazing, historic moment!) but it’s time to put that to one side for a minute and look at the fashion.

Annihilation: Film Review
March 13, 2018 by Leave a Comment
I was fuming when I read that UK audiences wouldn’t be getting Annihilation in cinemas. It felt unfair that we had to watch this effects-heavy sci-fi movie in our homes on Netflix when North America got it on the big screen. Something this good deserved a better setting than my measly TV with standard audio in my shared house to be honest.

April 22, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Jane Got a Gun had a seriously troubled production and that has overshadowed the movie somewhat. Natalie Portman has been attached since 2012 and the movie has been ready for release since 2014 and after a series of delays it has finally arrived. When something has taken that long you expect it to be incredible, but this is just alright so I’m disappointed.
