J.J. Abrams was always going to have a challenge sticking the landing with The Rise of Skywalker, which not only concludes this trilogy but all nine films in the main franchise, but it still saddens me to report that I came away disappointed.

March 28, 2019 by Leave a Comment
During awards season, I was really annoyed that At Eternity’s Gate was the only gap in my film knowledge, the only film in a major category that I hadn’t seen, and now I’ve finally seen it I can say it wasn’t worth the wait.
Triple Frontier: Netflix Film Review
March 19, 2019 by Leave a Comment
I must admit I’m still not completely on top of Netflix film releases but I took notice of Triple Frontier because of the talent onboard, with Margin Call and A Most Violent Year‘s J.C. Chandor up front as director and co-writer, along with Zero Dark Thirty’s Mark Boal, and a cast which includes Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac. That’s an impressive line-up!
Life Itself: Film Review
January 4, 2019 by Leave a Comment
I love Dan Fogelman‘s TV creation, the emotional family drama This Is Us. Many people (particularly in the UK) have criticised it for being too sentimental but I love the story and characters and how moving it is. I never noticed how sappy it was watching an episode a week, but Fogelman’s love of the sentimental tearjerker was blindly obvious with Life Itself, which he wrote and directed.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Film Review
December 12, 2017 by 4 Comments
For The Force Awakens, my excitement was off the charts and I thought I could burst with anticipation and when I saw it, I loved it 100%, glossing over its flaws because I was so happy it was back and gave me what I wanted. With The Last Jedi, I just didn’t have that same level and because of this, I cast a more critical eye, even though I’m sure it gives fans exactly what they want.

Suburbicon
I felt confident about Suburbicon – what with it being directed by George Clooney and starring Matt Damon and Julianne Moore – until the bad reviews came out following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
