Film Reviews: Sing

It feels like we’ve been waiting for this film for a long time. The first trailer for Sing dropped late in 2015, and yet here in the UK, only saw release in early 2017. It’s quite unusual for such a long wait with a family film like this, but nonetheless, Sing is finally here – […]

Film Reviews: Arrival

A rather strange, complicated and intriguing tale this, but one I’m not sure I’m going to watch again. Arrival is a first contact tale, starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker, and it offers up an interesting new look at the nature of time.

I haven’t seen Blade Runner…

You’re lying! I also haven’t seen Jaws.  What, it’s a movie about a fish. Coming back to Blade Runner, my wife has gone and bought it, so at some point in the near future I’ll be taking a dystopian journey into the future, yay!

Film Reviews: Trolls

As promised, another review, hot on the heels of the last one! This time around it’s Trolls, and this is a very different film to Storks, but it’s still good. Trolls is very much a musical, and it’s very bright and colourful. The trolls themselves are naturally inclined to party and sing, and their enemies […]
