Top Ten: Underrated Films

Here are ten films that I like but aren’t so popular with the mainstream. These films tend not to get noticed, despite how wonderful they actually are. I could list many, but I selected a few which come to mind as of late. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below! Do you agree with my choices? 10. Like Sunday, Like…

Goosebumps (2016) ★★★★☆

Bloggers beware, you’re in for a scare!  After the death of his father, Zach (Dylan Minnette) has moved house from New York City to Madison, Delaware with his mother who is hoping for a change of scenery. Zach befriends the girl living next door, Hannah (Odeya Rush). Her father however, keeps her locked in her house a lot of the time. Having…

Top Twenty: Best Films of 2015

And yet another remarkable year in the film industry…Hence, I must share my favourites with you all! The chances are, I will end up changing this list around if I happen to discover films I have missed out on from 2015. But nonetheless, I highly recommend everything on this list. So, sit back, dim your lights and…

Anomalisa (2015) ★★★★★

A suffocating view of humanity. Directed and produced by Charlie Kaufman, based on his own eponymous play, comes the story of the delusional Michael Stone (David Thewlis), a British author who’s forte is customer service. He soon finds himself in the hotel room of two women, both fans of his work who are in town to hear him speak. Michael sees something different in…

The Peanuts Movie (2015) ★★★★☆

Hollywood did this one right, Charles Schultz would be pleased. He’s back, and this time, attempting to get through the school year. Charlie Brown (Noah Schnapp) finds a new crush, and takes part in a talent show with the help of his friends and his beloved dog, Snoopy. How lovely that a whole new generation are…

Golden Globes Predictions 2016

Yes, it’s that time of the year again – awards season! The Golden Globe nominees were announced last night. The show however, doesn’t air until 10th January 2016. But, discussing the nominees a month early is exciting, right? Once again, it’s a tough year… Best Drama:  Carol Mad Max: Fury Road The Revenant  Room (pictured)  Spotlight  My Prediction: The Revenant or Carol I’d…

Top Twenty: Disney Animation films

Before I begin, I have a bone to pick with Disney. You could say my faith in the company isn’t so strong, momentarily. The continuous throwing in of live-actions of which don’t fall beyond mediocre, have become almost unsightly. Decent hits, such as Frozen, are placed only few and far between. What happened to the good old hand-drawn classics?…

Top Ten: Stop-motion Animated films

For this week’s top ten, I found inspiration from watching Coraline. Honourable mentions include: Fantastic Mr Fox (2009) – I wasn’t a fan of the film itself, as Wes Anderson films just don’t seem to tickle my fancy, but I can certainly recognise that the stop-motion was done ever so well. Without further ado, here is my top ten… 10. The…

Top Fifteen: Pixar Films

Pixar is by far one of my favourite production companies. I had previously created a list similar, though it needed updating and mixing around a little! After the release of Inside Out, the ideal thing to do was to rank all the old ones. This ranking is NOT worst to best, but my least favourite to most favourite.…

Inside Out (2015) ★★★★★

“Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head?”  Pixar returns – this time bringing something a little different to the table. Inside Out looks into the head of a young girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) exploring the core emotions that control her. Therefore, Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Disgust (Mindy…
