A clever and chilling Sci-fi masterpiece. A young programmer named Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), working at a popular search engine company, BlueBook, is selected in a contest to spend a week with the company’s founder, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). When arriving at Nathan’s isolated estate, Caleb is introduced to the Nathan’s project ‘Ava’ (Alicia Vikander), an artificially intelligent android. It is Caleb’s…
Hidden among all of the good films from last year are also a selection of bad films, some of which I have included in this post. Last year there certainly were a handful of awful films, therefore I couldn’t help myself, and decided to create a list. You may not agree with my list, but that doesn’t matter as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I…
Absolutely Barking-Mad! Directed by George Miller, Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth installment to the franchise, though don’t fret – the last one was released in 1985 and take it from someone who hadn’t seen the other three, you will be able to watch this one without viewing its predecessors. When Max (Tom Hardy) encounters a group of women led by…
They’ve done studies, you know – 60 percent of the time, this film works every time. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues does its best to reproduce the magic of San Diego’s most eccentric news team. Having lost his job as an anchorman to his wife, resulting in issues with them, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is on the streets in a rather tough position.…
The pitch is far from perfect, and the narrative needs a tuning. Pitch Perfect proved to be one of 2012’s most unexpected hits. This time around, after a performance for the President goes horribly wrong, the Bellas are suspended, facing termination unless they can win the World A Cappella Championship – which no U.S. group has done before. To…

Which films are you most looking forward to in 2015? Let me know in the comments below! I will start off by introducing my…
The story of Tony Stark and his disciples. The Avengers may be a strong team, but they will inevitably meet their doom, one day or another. When Tony Stark’s plan for an artificially intelligent global defence system codenamed “Ultron” turns against its human masters, murderous robots are soon running rampage and it’s up to Earth’s mightiest heroes…
To put it simply; a cinematic masterpiece. The Duke of Burgundy tells the story of Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen) and Evelyn (Chiara D’Anna), two ornithologists. Evelyn is the younger of the two women, and we observe as she pleasantly arrives at a mansion in an unspecified country at an indistinct time with exclusive travel by bicycle. Evelyn is immediately put to…
A must see for anyone interested in the justice system. Reginald Rose’s script commences entirely within a jury room. Twelve jurors weigh the fate of an inner-city teen accused of murder. Only Juror Number Eight (Henry Fonda) possesses reasonable doubt, citing unconvincing eyewitness testimony and unreliable evidence. The eleven jurors remaining contrive to convince him, but are soon swayed by Number Eight’s…
I am a huge fan of Dreamworks – in fact, I have been as of a very young age. I have been meaning to write this list for a long time now, but was awaiting the release of Home, which sadly turned out to be Dreamwork’s rotten apple of the bunch, therefore not making my list. In…
