Cruella (2021)

Stylish mess

[5/10 · 22 September 2021]

This films narrative is absolutely bonkers. Never finds its footing and concludes in a ridiculous fashion.

Kate (I) (2021)

Seen before

[6/10 · 22 September 2021]

Excellent action, performances and lighting but the film is let down by the fact that every plot point has been seen before and is predictable.

The Good Doctor (2017–2024)

Seen House?

[6/10 · 22 September 2021]

The creator of house made a show that is just like house.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015)

A new twist on an otherwise burning out franchise.

[5/10 · 22 October 2015]

The Paranormal Activity franchise has definitely been one to follow. The story follows a demon, under the guise of 'Toby' who has been steadily haunting a family and racking up quite a body count. This entry, which promises to be the final one, seems a little distant from the rest of the series. The family move into a house where they find a video camera able to pick up spirit activity and a collection of VHS tapes documenting Katie and Kristi after the events of PA3. The spirit camera is the USP of the film, as they delve into 3D filming ectoplasm and eventually showing 'Toby' as he starts haunting the families daughter. As you can expect, they do start to milk the 3D element too much towards the end of the film, especially in the climax, and quite a lot of the 'activity' scenes seem to play to the audience more than the characters. However, being able to see the demons movements definitely add to the building of tension, and is a much stronger installment than PA4 and 'the marked ones'. The main problem lies within the need for another, final installment, to finally tie up all the loose ends.

Fight Club (1999)

An indisputable masterpiece

[10/10 · 28 March 2015]

Fight Club is a psychological thriller that will leave you tense and on the edge of your seat, as well as a black comedy that will leave anyone with a darker sense of humor doubled over. Finchers adaptation of Palahniuks novel is a great one, following the story of 'Jack' (Norton); an emasculated insomniac who finds solace in bare knuckled fighting as well as his new friend Tyler (Pitt) who has a lot more planned for the underground fight clubs. This film breaks down walls and pushes the boundaries of cinema, with terrific cinematography and amazing performances from the cast.A must-see, and then a must-see- again, and again..
