Whether you are a film fanatic or you simply want to get a glimpse of what the cinema has to offer in the coming months: here are some of the films which will be released and…
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…
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.…
Us watching someone watch someone else… A week before scheduled to get out of a leg cast that has made him housebound, photographer L.B. Jeffries (James Stewart) witnesses what he suspects to be a murder. He informs his nurse, who dismisses the idea, advising him to stay out of other peoples’ business.

Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World is the fourth and fiercest instalment in the franchise yet. Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now embraces a fully…
Frankly first-rate. Directed by American independent filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson, an aspiring musician, Jon (Domnhall Gleeson), experiences a journey of self-exploration after joining a band led by the eccentric and mysterious Frank (Michael Fassbender), whose face is permanently covered beneath a comically oversized mask. Not only is Frank is a good character study; weird behaviour and out-of-control situations are depicted throughout…
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…
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…
