Pan (2015) ★☆☆☆☆

As flat as a frying pan.  Directed by Joe Wright, during WWII, a young orphan named Peter, is kidnapped by pirates, who take him to Neverland. Here, he discovers his destiny to become the hero, who will be forever known as “Peter Pan”. The script being its greatest flaw, contains some of the most absurd lines to come out of film…

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 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…

Maleficent (2014) ★★★☆☆

A limited fairy-tale ridden with clichés.  With horns and wings, Maleficent is a fairy who after being betrayed, curses a young princess, Aurora (Elle Fanning) in order to gain revenge of her father, King Stefan. She soon comes to regret this later on in life. The days of Alice and Wonderland and Snow White are long gone, eclipsed…

Big Hero 6 (2014) ★★★★☆

Baymax brings the best medicine a healthcare robot could provide: laughter.  Well, it was about time that Walt Disney made its own Marvel film, seeing how Disney did in fact bring us Marvel Entertainment. And here we have it – Big Hero 6, which puts aside the conventional Disney fairy tale for an exciting super hero adventure full of…
