Aladdin

Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014

Classic Film Aladdin, as far as i am concerned, is a timeless classic that represents the pinnacle of Disney. It came out the year I was born and I think I watched it for the first time when I was around a year old. I recently bought the DVD to replace the utterly destroyed VHS of my Read more...

The Maze Runner

Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014

Rating: A I can honestly say The Maze Runner surprised me. Having seen the shorts of the movie only last week, I was pretty much expecting an incarnation of The Hunger Games.

It's because I find foreign films just ... odd. Especially French ones, and especially French ones that aren't Read more...

Night Moves

Posted 2:58pm Sunday 28th September 2014

Rating: B Night Moves is one of the most psychologically interesting movies I have seen this year. Shunning the paradigmatic fast pace and drama of the usual terrorism plot, Reichardt instead focuses her latest flick on the development of the characters in the undertaking. The three Read more...

Pacific Rim
