Film Reviews: Sausage Party

Ok, where do I even begin with this one?! Sausage Party (I had to be very careful googling that to get the movie poster) is an animated adventure film, set in a supermarket, that deals with one sausage’s realisation that the promised land beyond the doors is in fact one great big lie. It’s also […]

Destination Star Trek Europe 

It’s probably clear to everyone who follows my blog that I am a huge Trekkie. I have all sorts of merchandise from the shows and films. Some of my proudest possessions are Star Trek books and models. On my left arm is a Star Trek tattoo. This epic sci-fi series is second to none in […]

Horror Movie Challenge Day 1

Firstly, many thanks to B from Getting Through Anxiety and Carla from the Melodramatic Confessions for creating this challenge. This is going to be a tough one for me, because I’m not well-versed in horror films.  Day one is favourite horror movie, and honestly I haven’t seen that many! The first answer to come to […]

Film Reviews: Ice Age Collision Course

The latest instalment of the family-friendly saga about a mammoth, sabre-tooth tiger and a sloth has hit the screens and it continues the rich vein of form for the Ice Age franchise.

Film Reviews: Suicide Squad

The third instalment in the DCCU marks the biggest step so far in created an expanded universe – but is it any good?

The action sequences are suitably impressive, the car chase scene at the end is exhilarating, and when sitting in the cinema, the film was very watchable, as […]

Film Reviews: Ghostbusters 2016

The most maligned trailer in history – that’s been an unwanted element to the build up to Ghostbusters, and the reasons behind the intense negativity toward this film have been the subject of much debate. The backlash against an all-female lineup of Ghostbusters appears to have been the main driving force behind the dislike for […]

Film Reviews: Zootropolis

Zootropolis (Zootopia in the US, and I have no idea why the film was renamed for the UK) is possibly Disney’s most observational film yet, and also its most subtle. It manages to wrap up our world and place it into the hands of bunnies, foxes, tigers and sheep, and present a film full of […]

Film Reviews: Star Trek Beyond

There’s a certain poetic nature to this. My personal journey toward Star Trek Beyond began with Star Wars: The Force Awakens some seven months ago, and on the day that I saw Beyond, it was announced filming has wrapped on Episode VIII. The circle continues. This is also a film tinged with sadness. It’s the […]
