Originally, I wasn’t keen on seeing this at the cinema but thanks to my Cineworld Unlimited card I gave it a try. Overall, I liked the premise of this film as the film is dystopian which is one of my favourite genres in film. I’m also a huge fan of…

Loved this film!! I loved it so freaking much. The romantic comedy horror film is directed by Zelda Williams in her feature-length directorial debut, with a screenplay from Diablo Cody. The film stars Kathryn Newton as Lisa Swallows, a misunderstood teenager in 1989 who accidentally reanimates a Victorian-era corpse, portrayed…

This is my favourite film/ book of the Hunger Games franchise; I love all the films, but this one takes pride of place in my heart. The way Francis Lawrence has transformed Suzanne Collin’s original book into a film that is true to the manuscript while still providing originality and…

I didn’t like this film; in fact, I disliked it so much I had to turn it off halfway through. Overall, I like coming-of-age films, the genre being one of my favourites. I am a big fan of the original book (published in 1999) and I think it’s much more…

I watched this for the first time with my mum and dad, and I cried my eyes out, as they were the two who introduced me to this brilliant and moving film I owe them a massive thank you. The mixture of themes such as family and individuality, with the…

I loved this film when I saw it for the first time, and although I wasn’t fully expecting to enjoy the film as much as I did I was pleasantly surprised. As the film states it’s based on “contradictory” and “totally true” interviews with Tonya Harding (played by Margot Robbie)…

Visually this film is stunning, the epic science fiction film beautifully captures the vast scale and complexity of the written world it is based on (Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel of the same name). Although this film was hugely successful at the box office with a $165 million budget, and it…
