I have to admit, I’m getting tired of irony lately. From the smug fourth wall breaking in Deadpool to the internet becoming increasingly self-referential and meaningless with its in jokes, I’ve started to crave sincerity in the media I consume. Characters who mean what they say, an original idea put forward, and most importantly a sense that the people involved in the creation of whatever movie, … Continue reading Christopher Robin Review – Enjoyable And Sincere But Ultimately Forgettable (Rating: 7/10)

I first saw the film when I was 11 at an IMAX, and the novelty of the situation (I’ve grown up in the country most of my life) made me love the … Continue reading The 50% Club: Alice in Wonderland
Having seen the trailer for Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time numerous times at the cinema prior to other films, I found myself feeling more and more apprehensive with each viewing. At first, I felt happiness at seeing an upcoming major picture led by Storm Reid, a young black girl, and made by a black woman, Ava DuVernay (the first directed by a female POC to cost over … Continue reading A Wrinkle In Time Review – Lost Potential With Heart (Rating: 4/10)
