A-Z Movie Challenge – J

J is for Jumanji, the original, released in 1995 (yes, really), and starring the late, great, Robin Williams. This film, about a board game that comes to life and creates chaos, was absolutely insane, but in the best way, with a heartwarming cast of characters and a lot of fun to be had. I thoroughly […]

A-Z Movie Challenge – I

Let’s travel back in time to 2004 and the original Incredibles film for I – true story, I missed the beginning of this film at the cinema because of some annoying family that was buying half of cinema’s snack supply. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bob is likeable as the hero trying to discover who he […]

A-Z Movie Challenge – G

G is easy. This 2014 film was a burst of creative energy, filled with vibrant characters and some trippy stuff. It was Marvel at their most daring, taking a bunch of characters that were unknown to mainstream audiences and turning into some of the most beloved in the MCU. It was impossible not to love […]

A-Z Movie Challenge – F

F… F… Umm… F. I’m really struggling with F. So much so that I had to Google this one, but lo and behold, I’ve found my answer! The Fifth Element. This 1997 sci-fi action film was definitely quirky, with larger than life characters, some bold fashion statements and some eclectic casting choices. Whilst Bruce Willis […]

The A-Z Movie Challenge – D

This one is easy. Very easy. Die Hard. Die Hard is to many the quintessential 80s action movie. It’s the movie that propelled Bruce Willis to superstardom and the movie that gave us a delicious performance from the late, great, Alan Rickman as bad guy Hans. Without Die Hard, we’d lack the famous phrase ‘yippie […]

A – Z Movie Challenge – C

Moving on quickly from B, we have C – and because it’s literally the first film starting with C to occur to me, let’s take a look at Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s first Bond adventure. I struggle with this film being released all the way back in 2006. It’s hard to imagine that we should […]

A – Z Movie Challenge – B

B… B… Gotta admit, I’m struggling for a movie beginning with B that I’ve seen… Oh wait, eureka moment! Blade Runner. Now, I’m fully aware this 1982 film has cult status. It’s heralded as a sci-fi masterpiece. I for one, just don’t get the appeal. It’s not a bad film, but it’s not anything particularly […]

A-Z Movie Challenge – A

I’ve hijacked this from The Confusing Middle, but I’m several days late, so time for a quick catch-up – A: Ant-Man. I promise that not every movie will be Marvel Cinematic Universe related. There’s a fair chance there’ll be quite a few entries, but not every last single movie… ahem. So, Ant-Man – released in […]

Film Reviews – Sonic the Hedgehog

We have yet another video game-to-movie… erm… movie. This time it’s a piece of Nineties nostalgia – Sonic the Hedgehog is pretty iconic, even to a self-confessed Nintendo fanboy like myself. Sega’s mascot has been the star of a huge library of games, and whilst I haven’t played many of them, I found myself rather […]
