This film acts as a follow-up to the Breaking Bad TV series, following the story of Jesse Pinkman after he escapes the Brotherhood compound and how he then moves on with his life after the severe PTSD he has gained from the events in Breaking Bad. Personally, I cannot see…

I first came across this film during A-level film. As someone who is not a massive fan of western or vampire movies, I didn’t really expect to enjoy this, but I was truly mistaken! The style of the film highlights clear homages to prior vampire films, such as the 1922…

I’ve seen this film a fair few times and each time I’ve found it more and more enjoyable. Despite the initial difficulties Seligman faced during the process of pitching, shooting, and editing the film, these only add to the film’s charm and comedy. These blockages were unfortunately due to the…

I first watched this film out of genuine curiosity. I stumbled across it one night on BBC iPlayer and immediately got my heart broken and my soul crushed by this beautiful film, the biopic-Esque film loosely inspired by Charlotte Wells’ own childhood. After stumbling upon this film, it found me…

As someone who isn’t a massive fan of Halloween movies or anything Halloween or horror adjacent, admittedly, I didn’t have high hopes while watching this. However, I found myself pleasantly surprised upon watching this. Admittedly, this film is rated PG, so it may be easily deduced that nothing particularly horrific…

This was my film of the summer. After seeing this in the cinema for the first time, I went another three times, even seeing it in 4DX twice. Although I entered the film with admittedly very low expectations, I left the cinema with a newfound love for Daisy Edgar-Jones and…

Continue reading →: Jaws (Spielberg, 1975)
From the beginning I wasn’t keen on watching this film at all. I am not a fan of sharks, blood, or high tension in movies and this film contained all three. And despite my aversions at the beginning, I did manage to gradually relax and enjoy this film more and…

As the oldest sibling with three little brothers, I found this film easy to connect with and to enjoy. Going into this film, I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I’d never heard of the Von Erich family before or had much interest in wrestling. I hadn’t seen much of…
