Fantasia is easily Disney's most experimental "film". The animation studio only just started becoming popular back in 1940, and so did the medium of film. Moving pictures edited sequentially to create a cohesive story, it was an art form that rema... Read the full review »

Prom Night may just be the worst film in my collection. An achievement if you will that has surpassed the likes of 'Rings' and 'Pompeii'. The worst of the worst. I have literally just wasted 89 minutes of my life watching a serial killer stab coun... Read the full review »

The Giver is a dystopian sci-fi that just never really gives. Another adaptation of a young adult book, and yet another film filled with mediocrity. It's not terrible, it's not good...it's just fine. A "perfect" society living in solitude incapabl... Read the full review »

The Shape Of Water is an ominous dark romance that acts as a love letter to classic cinema. All rise! Guillermo Del Toro, you have earned the right to sit among the greatest directors of modern cinema. Although, his masterpiece 'Pan's Labyrinth' i... Read the full review »

Early Man has good intentions but is weighed down by dated slapstick humour and an utterly predictable plot. Aardman Animations have been part of my life. I will forever remember the moment Wallace wore the wrong trousers or Mrs Tweedy obnoxiously... Read the full review »

Berlin Syndrome is yet another reason why you should not go travelling around Europe. Let's put this into perspective, it's not nearly as horrific as 'Taken' but still this presents a perfectly plausible scenario. A young Australian woman travels... Read the full review »

Beauty and the Beast is one of the most defining animations in Disney's filmography. The 80's were tough for the animation studio, with several films facing mediocrity. But wait, what's that glistening in the early Renaissance era? It can only be... Read the full review »

The 15:17 To Paris has good intentions, but couldn't even fill a 94 minute runtime. I was on the verge of falling asleep, not because I was tired, but due to the fact this film was boring. Absolutely, undeniably, utterly boring. I will try to be a... Read the full review »

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a rare example of how remakes equal their originals. Now, having never seen the 50s original and only seeing the modern remake 'The Invasion', I was sceptical about the acclaim this received. How many times can th... Read the full review »

Hotel Transylvania 2 doesn't learn from the mistakes of its predecessor. Well, we all knew this was going to turn into a ghoulish franchise. In this sequel, Dracula and the gang welcomes his grandson to the family. Adamant that he is more vampire... Read the full review »

The Forest should've been cut down and titled "There Used To Be A Forest, But We Butchered It". You all know I love Japan, their culture and their mythology. A horror film set in the infamous Aokigahara Forest where troubled individuals contemplat... Read the full review »

Hidden Figures intelligently uses racial and gender segregation to convey equality in an intellectual environment. I'm sure many of you didn't know who Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan or Mary Jackson were before watching this. And now that you... Read the full review »

Hotel Transylvania succumbs to typical modern animation downfalls that sucks the life out of the story. Sony's animations are usually hit and miss for me. Infuriatingly they all contain traits that really are destroying the genre. The story centre... Read the full review »

The Book of Life boasts visually stunning animation but lacks a consistently engaging story. Mexico's famous annual festivities marking "The Day of the Dead" is a time for reflection and remembrance. It's colourful, bright and visually striking, s... Read the full review »

The Bay takes a preachy environmental message and executes it intriguingly. To say this film is divisive is an understatement. Critics were positive, audiences not so much. Frustratingly, I sit precariously in the middle whilst tentatively teeteri... Read the full review »
