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…

This is another film that my parents introduced me too, but one that I decided to come back too and rewatch out of personal interest as I found the plot incredibly interesting and unique. As the film explores the complex nature of memory, relationships, and the human desire to forget…

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…

I originally watched this film because I was bored and had seen one specific image from the film circling on my Pinterest. To be completely honest, I wasn’t that interested when the film first started. Still, it got more interesting as the film progressed. As someone who loves films about…

Admittedly the original animated films were not perfect cinema, but nothing can compare to the cinematic trash that was this film. I cannot comprehend the reason for creating this film, I believe it was a waste of a budget that could’ve been used on a much better film. The film…
