When Dinosaurs Ruled the Cinema – 25 Years of Jurassic Park

As the dinosaur blockbuster celebrates its 25^th birthday, we look back at the impression it made on its release in 1993, and the impossible benchmark it raised for future filmmaking.

Unsane Film Review & A Quiet Place Film Review

A great horror has become as rare as my movie reviews. Nevertheless, I'm here to kill two birds with one stone with my reviews for Unsane and A Quiet Place. Before you read, though, what do you think of introducing sound-sensitive alien monsters into cinemas worldwide to deal with the sub-humans of society who don't know how to shut up during a film? Could this be a lucrative idea? I'm curious to hear your thoughts so comment below!

Ready Player One Movie Review

From the creator of masterpieces Jaws and Jurassic Park (for starters) comes Ready Player One. But just like those two classics, this movie is based on a bestselling novel. So what happens when the ingenious geeky minds of Spielberg and Ernest Cline collide?

Tomb Raider 2018 Movie Review

Alicia Vikander is Lara Croft in the gun-toting explorer’s latest big-screen outing. But you’ll find no connection to Angelina Jolie’s (underrated) 2001 and 2003 movies here. Just like with a video game console, the reset button has been hit.

Flash Film Reviews: Three Billboards, Black Panther, Game Night, Annihilation, Love Simon & The Shape of Water

When it comes to film reviews, no one wants to read a novel. But if you do want to hear my thoughts on these flicks in greater depth, check out my podcast reviews via the links at the bottom of each review.

Flash Film Reviews: Maze Runner 3, Cloverfield 3, Insidious 4, Darkest Hour

Another delay with getting film reviews to you, but what with buggering off to Toronto for my wedding anniversary (blog post coming up), being snowed in during the Great British Blizzard (no blog posts but plenty of chit-chat about bread and milk, for reasons unknown), and, well, watching said-films, I don't feel like apologising much. But then I am British, so I'm very, very sorry. Anyway, here are four flash film reviews with another three (at the moment, at least) coming right up. Sorry again.

As Old As Time: There’s Something There That Wasn’t There Before

If you aren’t overly familiar with Disney’s “tale as old as time” Beauty and the Beast, then you will at least recognise the timeless 1991 animated film as one of Disney’s classics. 2017 also saw new life breathed into the beloved fairy tale in the form of a live-action adaptation that introduced it to a new audience but not without appeasing fans of the original.

A Christmas Carol Review

If you’ve not read Charles Dickens’ 'A Christmas Carol', the chances are that you will, in some shape or form at least, be vaguely familiar with the premise, and at the very least its existence. Ebeneezer Scrooge, a disgruntled, frugal and merry-less man who grimaces at the mere mention of all things Christmas, is visited upon by three ghosts on Christmas Eve: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come.

Flash Reviews: Downsizing, Coco, The Commuter & The Post

Here are some more flash film reviews that may or may not save you some cash. And seeing as it's Oscar season, that means there are lots of opinions floating around in the ether, so why not share some of your own views and comment below.

Flash Reviews: The Disaster Artist, Molly's Game, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle & The Greatest Showman

I’ve been a little behind with posting some of my film reviews lately, but you can blame Christmas and Disneyland Paris for that. Speaking of which, I’ll be posting on that magical experience in the next few days too. For now, check out some flash reviews from December, which takes us right up until the last film I saw in 2017, The Greatest Showman. And don’t forget to check out my podcasts too, where I’ve already reviewed all of the following.
