I’ve been getting back into watching movies on a bit more of a regular basis and have watched some good and some bad recently. Here are my brief thoughts on what I’ve been watching for the first time: 1. The Gentlemen (2019) 9/10 I love Guy Ritchie movies and this was fantastic. The interweaving storytelling […]
Roxanne (1987) Steve Martin was in fine form for the most part but unfortunately he wasn’t enough to rescue Roxanne from mediocrity. He was charming, witty and had some great comedic scenes with Daryl Hannah but where Roxanne went wrong was about 30/40 minutes in. The opening was really good and had me chuckling often […]
The Hustle (2019) I did not know this film existed until I stumbled across it on Netflix this week and I saw the cast which was the main thing that lured me in. Anne Hathaway is more often than not enjoyable to watch and she’s so diverse that she can star in emotional masterpieces such […]
A movie I’ve been excited for since its release but for one reason or another I’d never been able to sit down and watch it, until now. It was visually beautiful and very well acted out by all involved, even Harry Styles which came as a surprise to me. The scenes in the sky as […]
Starring: Margot Robbie, Ewan McGregor and Jurnee Smollett-Bell Directed by: Cathy Yan My first trip to the cinema of 2020 and it was to see a movie that I wasn’t really excited for at all. I saw the trailers some time ago and thought it all looked rather meh despite Harley Quinn being one of […]
Jim Carrey has been one of the biggest figures within comedy over the past 25 years and while he hasn’t featured in many movies as of late, he was a money making mega star in the 90’s and early 2000’s. So, in wake of the trailer dropping for the pending release of Sonic the Hedgehog, […]

I know I did say I’d review all the great movies I’ve been watching but in the last couple of weeks most of the films have either been mediocre or good with nothing really standing out as truly exceptional. I’ve seen movies such as Bull Durham, The Highwaymen, Dumplin’, Stronger and Black ‘47 all of […]
I did say in my returning post a couple days ago that I was going to save my movie reviews for both the best of the best and the truly awful and anything in between I wasn’t going to bother as I’d probably fall back into finding writing movie reviews too time consuming which I’d […]
Hello guys, after 4 months away from writing my movie reviews I’ve decided to try and make my triumphant return. Last year I found writing reviews quite time consuming towards the end and it took my enjoyment away from the blog and I began to care about it a lot less to the point where […]
At the beginning of the 2018 I really didn’t know what to expect when I relaunched my blog as I had attempted to do it the previous year but fell behind and was always playing catch up so just knocked the project on the head. This year I was determined to make it the entire […]
Here we are, the final month of the year has passed as we approach the beginning of 2019. My yearly goal was to watch as many movies for the first time as possible and to surpass my last years total of 209 which I absolutely smashed as I ended up with a nice round number […]

Starring: Rob Brown, Dennis Quaid and Omar Benson Miller Directed by: Gary Fleder An inspirational drama based on the short life of college football legend Ernie Davis, the first African-American winner of the coveted Heisman Trophy.
