Elstree 1976 Mini Review
“Behind the masks. Beneath the helmets. Big People. Small Roles.”
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Review
Around fifteen minutes into Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone we’d been introduced to our hero, we knew his backstory, had discovered that he’s a wizard thanks to a big, beardy half-giant from the West Country, and joined him in scratching the surface of the magical world he was on the verge of discovering.

Arrival Review
Beautifully shot, acted, constructed, and remarkably intelligent, Arrival is a stunning film.
The Light Between Oceans Review

Star Trek Beyond Mini Review
“Fear of death is what keeps us alive.”
Supersonic Mini Review
“We were just lads from a council estate. Two brothers. Head cases.”

Doctor Strange Review
Doctor Strange, bringing new dimensions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Or multiple dimensions, to be precise.
My Scientology Movie Review
My brother once signed me up to a Scientology mailing list as a joke. Which likely goes to show how the religion is viewed by outsiders – as something not to be taken seriously. A fairly new religion, which uses the writings of a science fiction author as the basis for its principles. Bizarre, right? Well,…
The Killing of America (1981) Review
A pre-credit warning tells us that what we’re about to see is all real, and that none of it has been staged. Because no, you really can’t make up stories like this.
