Patriots Day encapsulates human resilience of a true disaster whilst providing sincere entertainment. Depicting real life events and portraying them for the purpose of entertainment can feel exploitative. Utilising the innocence and helplessness o... Read the full review »

Trespass rapidly intruded into my top worst films list, albeit with my permission. Joel Schumacher should not be making films anymore. He is outdated. He has expired. He is an amateur at best. Perhaps prominent in the late 80s, it seems he has tur... Read the full review »

Ocean's 8 (2018) added to 2018 Movies Ranked list.

Ocean's 8 has all the glitz and glamour that the female reboot required, but feels far too familiar. I'm all for female casts, in fact I think it's very important and believe gender equality should be at the forefront of the archaic Hollywood indu... Read the full review »

The Beguiled (2017) added to 2017 Movies Ranked list.

**700TH FILMFED REVIEW** The Beguiled offers quaint sumptuous thrills amidst an average screenplay. Critics lapped this up like a cat devouring milk, and to be honest I can see why. Coppola becoming the second woman to win best director at Cannes... Read the full review »

Kick-Ass deconstructs the superhero genre and assembles specific components to create outlandish action. Matthew Vaughn found his style with this film, a style that would later become a trademark for his most successful franchise 'Kingsman'. Exces... Read the full review »

But I'm A Cheerleader attempts to cheer its way through gay themes but has as much fluff as a pom pom. Suffice to say, this was not for me. My general dislike for B-movies has only grown stronger as I frequently watch grander titles. Regardless of... Read the full review »

Jupiter Ascending ironically descends into an incomprehensible space opera. In an age where blockbusters are either sequels, reboots or part of a cinematic universe, it is absolutely refreshing to witness an ambitious original epic. But this...thi... Read the full review »

A Serious Man, in typical Coen fashion, chronicles a troubled man questioning his own faith. Admittedly I am not the biggest fan of the Coen brothers. I find their films slightly derivative, particularly their black comedies, that rely too heavily... Read the full review »

Fantasmagorie blends an early form of stop motion animation with surrealism. Often described as "the first motion picture animation" that lasts a staggering two minutes. Silent live action pictures were slowly becoming popular in the early 1900's... Read the full review »

Paranormal Activity 2 is scarily identical to its boring predecessor. A successful low budget horror that made a profit and then some, the original was sure to get a sequel. You betcha bottom dollar we got a sequel, and guess what? It's exactly th... Read the full review »

Hereditary utilises visceral imagery from generational horror classics to create a modern interpretation. This, was my most anticipated of the year. The colossal praise, intense trailer and positive buzz made me subconsciously more excited as its... Read the full review »

'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar' is both campy in nature and execution. In a position where I've never watched an overwhelmingly camp film in my life, it was time to change that. As you know, I like to tackle each sub-genre with... Read the full review »

Monsters, contrary to its title, is an intimate story of love and survival. This may just be the first review where I honestly have no idea what to rate the film. A science fiction horror film this is not, the marketing for this extremely low budg... Read the full review »

Paranormal Activity uses the found footage technique to create a "scary" supernatural horror. This is it. Regarded as the most profitable film ever made. The seed that grows into every future Blumhouse horror film as you witness "from the producer... Read the full review »

Carrie hosts possibly the most memorable prom scene in Hollywood's history. If you haven't seen it, then you've atleast heard of it. The moment a timid innocent girl is titled prom queen before she causes catastrophic chaos nearly wiping out her e... Read the full review »

The East, much like a puppeteer, controls anarchistic idealisms to convey a preachy environmental message. As time presses on, humanity is typically viewed as the catalyst for the planet's destruction. Whether it be ravaging environments or destro... Read the full review »

The Great Train Robbery showcases early technical excellence but, much like its genre, remains incredibly slow paced. Considered to be the first western motion picture and the first film to have a cohesive plot, Porter's silent short film has infl... Read the full review »
