Me Before You occasionally paralyses itself with romantic clichés but bravely tackles a controversial subject. As someone who does not actively seek out soppy romances (mostly because I like to live in solitude), I found this quirky British love... Read the full review »

Aladdin rubs its own lamp and summons one of Disney's best musicals. The beginning of the "House of Mouse's" renaissance era was probably the best few years since their conception. Aladdin contributes to that significantly, with its memorable song... Read the full review »

The Hidden World reveals the hardship of parting ways through fantastical animation. Its predecessors are among the best of the best when it comes to family adventure flicks. Packing emotional heft, boasting colourful characters whilst also delive... Read the full review »

The Hole in the Ground (2019) added to 2019 Movies Ranked list.

The Hole in the Ground is one crevice not worth exploring. Low-budget horrors is something that production companies Vertigo and A24 typically excel at (particularly the latter). So, I gradually became optimistic that this terribly named dramatic... Read the full review »

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night bravely describes itself as "the first Iranian vampire western". Arthouse cinema, at the best of times, can be divisive. Typically critics adore the presence of thematic interpretation, whereas general audiences re... Read the full review »

Conan the Barbarian is about as menacing as Momoa's freshly shaven baby face. The sword and sorcery sub-genre had a huge resurgence in the early 2010s, with remakes including 'Clash of the Titans' gracing our screens. However this flick acts as ne... Read the full review »

Metropolis unfolds into a mechanical masterpiece in ingenuity and expressionism. The grandfather of science-fiction. The film that single-handedly pioneered a genre. Just, impressive. I've been waiting a good few years to watch this German express... Read the full review »

Breakfast at Tiffany's wears the glitz and glamour to depict superficial materialism. It was fate that this comedic drama would be my first Audrey Hepburn film. After hearing so much about it and constantly singing "Moon River", I needed to make m... Read the full review »

The Wizard of Oz puts a glorious technicolor spell on younger audiences. Let's get this out of the way first. I had never seen The Wizard of Oz until now. Obviously its legendary status had allowed certain scenes and songs to enter the American po... Read the full review »

Casablanca dances the war-driven night away with sweeping romanticism. Another classic that many critics and cinephiles believe to be one of the greatest pieces of cinema ever. And much like 'Citizen Kane', I unfortunately was not overly enamoured... Read the full review »

Singin' In The Rain is pouring with whimsical musicality and soaking in silver screen magic. The musical genre is not my favourite. Not in the slightest. Taking a drama and having characters randomly burst into a musical number never really appeal... Read the full review »

Rambo returns to doing what he does best, soaking jungles in blood and guts. Admittedly, I've never seen any of the previous instalments, so I was unsure what I was letting myself in for. Safe to say that the certification it obtained was very muc... Read the full review »

Dogtooth mentally conditions its children through meandering tricks. Before Lanthimos made a name for himself with western audiences, with the likes of 'The Lobster' and 'The Favourite', his first few films were pure Arthouse. With such a low budg... Read the full review »

Pandorum succumbs to its own delirious psychosis. A small dosage of 'Resident Evil', a splash of 'The Descent' and the claustrophobic setting of 'Alien'. These Lovecraftian horror elements should've been fully maximised to create an atmospheric sc... Read the full review »

Lava solidifies into a forgettable romantic vacation. A short musical involving one volcano helplessly falling in love with another volcano with the assistance of picturesque illustrations and on screen lyrics. This Hawaiian slideshow is beautiful... Read the full review »

George & A.J. resembles a basic storyboard of a deleted scene. An accompaniment to everyone's favourite ten minute introductory sequence (I'm holding back the tears already...), this short to 'Up' unravels what happened to the Shady Oaks retiremen... Read the full review »

The Box pushes an ambitious button but creates an unsatisfying mystery. Kelly will always be known for 'Donnie Darko', no matter how successful his next film may be. Deep down he knows this, which is why The Box takes several elements of said film... Read the full review »

The Breakfast Club is one detention that I could sit through again and again. As an avid cinephile, I often see this coming-of-age teen drama in many "best of all time" lists. So naturally I was hesitant to take the plunge, considering my modern e... Read the full review »
