When the first Paddington came out ten years ago – where did all that time go? – it is safe to say everyone was worried as to how it would turn out. Much to everyone’s relief, it was absolutely brilliant and everything you would’ve wanted out of a Paddington film. Inevitably, given it’s runaway success, […]
Bah, humbug! It appears as though the cinematic holiday season begins with a lump of coal rather than a brightly wrapped, bow-tied gift. Around this time of year, we always get your average cheesy, hallmark romcom or family drama that audiences seem to eat up. I, however, do prefer the occasional festive flick that offers […]
I will repeat this more and more as time goes on, but going into a film entirely blind is always more rewarding than going in knowing everything; something I am never able to do as the desire to watch trailers is too great for me. For Piece by Piece, I was somewhat familiar with the […]

Simple ideas are often a goldmine within horror but only if you can pull it off. 2022’s ‘Smile’ proved this. Taking such a basic premise and then turning it into some form of horror is something that this genre excels at. I’m sure I can speak for most people when I say that there is […]
Having paid very close attention to what was recently announced at the most recent Disney Expo, I could not help but a feel a crushing sense that any creativity and originality is all but dead.
