Parasite (Bong Joon-ho, 2019)

10/10 Undoubtedly one of 2019’s best films, Parasite is the latest film by Bong Joon-ho (Okja, Snowpiercer, Memories of Murder), a writer and director who is not afraid to pull back the curtain on society and delve right into its cracks (chasm feels more suitable, given the horror of this film). Parasite, which is set […]

The Man In The High Castle (Frank Spotnitz, 2015-2018)

9.5/10 Back for a third season is The Man in the High Castle, a series loosely based around a novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick, the genius who also wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? And so, in turn, inadvertently brought us Blade Runner as well. And whilst you may not think that a series about a world […]

Blacker Panther (Ryan Coogler, 2018)

8.5/10 Black Panther, the latest instalment within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Ryan Coogler’s third film (impressive, right?) is trailblazing its own path in defining what it means to be a superhero film and just how possible (and right) it is to wrestle with some of the most important questions in post-modern society. Giving voice […]

9.5/10 So after a 24 hour binge-watch of The Punisher I can safely say that it is AMAZING. This long-awaited series does not disappoint and brings as much brutality as promised by Castle’s stint in Daredevil. The series starts off to find a ‘hipster’ looking Frank Castle (played by Jon Bernthal), living under a different […]

Murder on the Orient Express (Kenneth Branagh, 2017)

The story follows esteemed detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh), from Jerusalem onto the Orient Express as he travels to his next case to solve. Whilst on the train, […]

Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982)

7/10 Loosely adapted from Phillip K. Dick’s 1968 novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Set in Los Angeles in 2019, Blade Runner is visually astounding, even now in 2017, 35 years after the film’s release. For those who haven’t seen it, Blade Runner’s most basic plot is that in 2019 Los Angeles, Rick […]
