My Thoughts On The 2019 Oscars
So, almost a year after getting involved with all this funny film criticism nonsense, I’ve arrived at my first proper awards season. Alas, it was the 2018/2019 awards season, which many are referring to as one of the messiest and most anger-inducing in recent memory. From the allegations swarming around Bryan Singer to Viggo Mortensen’s use of the n-word in interviews, hope for the progressivism … Continue reading My Thoughts On The 2019 Oscars
Bohemian Rhapsody Review: A Hollow Whistle-Stop Tour Of Freddie The Icon (Rating: 4/10)
Christ, I’ve been putting this one off for a while. The trailer gave me so much hope; every time it came on at the cinema before other movies, my excitement only increased. Then I found out about the allegations against Bryan Singer, and decided that I really wanted to avoid giving him my money for as long as possible, regardless of the quality of the … Continue reading Bohemian Rhapsody Review: A Hollow Whistle-Stop Tour Of Freddie The Icon (Rating: 4/10)

Stan And Ollie Review – A Heartwarming Delight About The Tragedy Of Comedy (Rating: 8/10)
I’ll preface this review by saying that absolutely nothing about Stan and Ollie surprised me. The structure is predictable, it tackles all the themes you think it would, and right down to throwaway lines in the script you know exactly how every conversation is going to go. At times, you can feel like this biopic is going through the motions of its genre. Luckily, this is … Continue reading Stan And Ollie Review – A Heartwarming Delight About The Tragedy Of Comedy (Rating: 8/10)
Velvet Buzzsaw Review – A Horror Satire That Doesn’t Quite Live Up To Either Genre (Rating: 6/10)
With recent releases like Bright and Bird Box disappointing and alienating a fair few sofa viewers, it’s reasonable to be skeptical of Netflix Originals. However, they don’t make it easy to keep expectations low – both of the previously mentioned films at least had some interesting and fairly original premises, even if the execution definitely could have been thought through better. Velvet Buzzsaw, though a decent enough … Continue reading Velvet Buzzsaw Review – A Horror Satire That Doesn’t Quite Live Up To Either Genre (Rating: 6/10)
Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened Review – Makes You Want To Eat The Rich (Rating: 6/10)
Much like the infamous Dashcon, Fyre Festival has gone down in history as one of the most disastrous internet-borne events. But while both were mismanaged to the point of scamming their attendees, you can at least make the case with the former that the mistakes were more innocent, the financial losses less enormous, and the attendees themselves more sympathetic. The latter, however, revolved around the … Continue reading Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened Review – Makes You Want To Eat The Rich (Rating: 6/10)

The Digital Fix Article: The Nun Review
Here’s a link to my review of the 2018 horror film The Nun, which isn’t as good as the other film of the same name that I reviewed last year. Take a look! Continue reading The Digital Fix Article: The Nun Review
Bandersnatch Review – An Ambitious And Engaging Thriller (Rating: 8/10)
Though I never had any doubt that I’d end up checking it out, I did have some doubts about the hype around the ‘choose your own adventure’ structure of Bandersnatch. Not because it sounded like a gimmick, but because I had already played series like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us by Telltale Games, who used a similar idea to great effect several years ago. The … Continue reading Bandersnatch Review – An Ambitious And Engaging Thriller (Rating: 8/10)
