The Other Side Of The Wind Review – An Embittered and Dated Final Splutter (Rating: 3/10)

I’m going to keep this review short, partly because my M.E. is wearing me down now I’m in the middle of a uni term, but mostly because I feel as though this opinion won’t be a popular one, and I don’t want to drag it out for the majority who will disagree. After watching Orson Welle’s long-lost-til-now The Other Side of the Wind, rather than being … Continue reading The Other Side Of The Wind Review – An Embittered and Dated Final Splutter (Rating: 3/10)

A Simple Favor Review – Stylish Mystery With Echoes Of Noir (Rating: 8/10)

Though I’ve watched some of Paul Feig’s other movies, I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a fan of his. While I appreciate the female-lead humour in most of his body of work, and the sincerity he promotes in his protagonists, I never felt anything more than a vague fondness for what he has done so far. This has changed with A Simple Favor, a stunning thriller than … Continue reading A Simple Favor Review – Stylish Mystery With Echoes Of Noir (Rating: 8/10)

The Festival Review – Disgusting Yet Oddly Warming Froth (Rating: 7/10)

Against my better judgement, I have a soft spot for The Inbetweeners. The ultimate show for watching with the sound turned down after your parents have gone to bed when you’re too young to understand half of it, it remains a wealthy source of sayings for British teenagers and young adults. After the alright-ish second film was released, it seemed unlikely that any more movies or … Continue reading The Festival Review – Disgusting Yet Oddly Warming Froth (Rating: 7/10)
