Louder Than Bombs might not be loud or explosive, but it certainly packs a punch. Another quiet indie drama that went under the radar, its unfortunate really because these low key films have some of the best cinematography out there. A famous mode... Read the full review »

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle plays out like a classic video game, very linear with the occasional glitch. If someone said to me "Luke, there's a Jumanji sequel coming out..." I would've laughed and shouted "Objection!". Yet, here we are and gues... Read the full review »

I Spit On Your Grave isn't enjoyable, it's mentally scarring. Honestly, I'm not sure how to wrap my thoughts around this and cohesively write a review. Everything about this film, is just wrong. But that's the point. Does that necessarily make it... Read the full review »

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri shows that a serious subject and dark humour make for a good combination. This film really did blow me away, I mean I knew it was going to be good but...not that good! McDonaugh had my undivided attention... Read the full review »

Burn After Reading just seems...pointless? It's been awhile since I've watched a film where I immediately think to myself "...ok, so what did I actually take away from that experience?". Apart from intelligence agencies knowing everything about ev... Read the full review »

L.A. Confidential is noir crime executed to the highest standard. Well, I wasn't expecting that! I went in thinking it would be an overlong stylised drama with one or two scenes of detective work. Quite the reverse actually, it's entirety was an u... Read the full review »

Robot & Frank is somewhat original but doesn't fully explore its quirky ideas. Ingenious? Meh. Hilarious? Not really. Moving? Definitely not. Not sure what I...wait, there's more descriptions for this on the back cover? Brilliant, touching and cap... Read the full review »

Darkest Hour puts Joe Wright back on track with this patriotic drama. Forget about 'Pan', every director is allowed to create one bad film. The important thing is the he learnt from his mistake and regressed back to what he does best, British war... Read the full review »

Insidious: The Last Key...well, enough is enough. I do have some alternate names for this chapter though! Insidious: The Last of the Jump Scares. Insidious: The Last Time You'll Hear Anything Again. Insidious: The Last Chance That This Franchise C... Read the full review »

Toy Story 3 proves that some acclaimed films deserve sequels. This. THIS. This is what I wanted, and boy...I got it. At first I was worried Pixar may have milked this series just for a quick cash grab, but they continue to surprise me. This really... Read the full review »

Chronicle manages to utilise the "found footage" technique to create an effective teen sci-fi. It dabbles into various genres during its short runtime. Sci-fi, high school drama, thriller and even the superhero sub-genre. Surprisingly, despite the... Read the full review »

The Jungle Book balances the intensity of its source material with the charm of the Disney animation. Immediately I want to start by saying I was never a fan of Kipling's book or the animated adaptation. It's just a story I never grew up with and... Read the full review »

Girls Trip might be formulaic, but it surprisingly has several laugh out loud moments. The surprise comedy of 2017, I'm pretty sure no one expected it to be this enjoyable. Fortunately it is, and that's coming from someone who dislikes American co... Read the full review »

Another Earth unfortunately does not amount to anything against an intriguing concept. The indie genre is always hit and miss for me. I will either adore a film who absolutely hate it, so when I watched this it was the first time I felt indifferen... Read the full review »

Due Date takes the road trip sub-genre and does nothing new with it. Wanted something fresh? A new take on the tired road trip formula? An utterly memorable experience? Then stop reading, go out in the car and make your own road trip memories. Thi... Read the full review »
