I have recently purchased a ‘100 Movies Bucket List’ scratch-off poster, with the intention of finally crossing off all of the classic films I’ve never seen before. However with the current and ongoing COVID lockdowns, now seemed like a perfect time to watch all of the 100 films on this list including those I know […]
Coming to Disney+ on Christmas day, we got the opportunity to see Disney Pixar’s Soul a little bit earlier as part of London Film Festival 2020. Directed by Pete Docter (Monsters Inc., UP and Inside Out) and co-directed by Kemp Powers, Soul follows Joe Gardner, a middle school band teacher who dreams of one day
Wolfwalkers is the latest animated offering from Irish based studio, Cartoon Saloon. I’m actually ashamed to say that before watching Wolfwalkers, I was pretty unfamiliar with their previous Irish folklore offerings – The Secret of Kells (2009) and Song of the Sea (2014) – but having seen this latest animated feature, it’s a mistake that

This latest take on the character of Sherlock Holmes doesn’t focus on the man himself, but on younger sister, Enola (Millie Bobby Brown). With older brothers, Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin) having left home, and her father deceased, Enola (“alone” spelt backwards) is now being raised single-handedly by her mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham-Carter),

Back in 1991, I thought that Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey was the greatest movie of all time. Sure, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was pretty incredible too, but with the addition of Death… Station… evil robot Bill & Ted… it was all just genius as far as I was concerned. My movie watching habits

Tenet? I’m sorry, no, THIS is actually the biggest movie release of the week. Well, it is when you’re currently having to isolate at home and cannot go to the cinema for a few weeks. Despite that, I was actually way more excited for this to hit Disney+ this morning than a man my age

Originally scheduled for a cinematic release, but now arriving on Disney+ instead, The One and Only Ivan is the latest in a long line of stories involving CGI animals who can talk, banding together to outsmart us humans in order to escape captivity. Only this one is actually based on a true story. There were

The first few minutes of episode 1 were posted online just a few days before season 2 landed on Netflix, and managed to cause quite a stir (well, with me anyway). All of the siblings were now in the sixties, but things once again aren’t quite right. War has broken out on the streets of

Destined to divide opinion, SCOOB! was to be the first theatrical Scooby-Doo film since the poorly received live- action sequel Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleased way back in 2004, and amazingly was the first animated adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera creation billed to receive a full theatrical release – that is, until Coronavirus entered the picture! The
The Aeronauts is set in the 1860s and sees Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, last seen together playing husband and wife in The Theory of Everything, reuniting for a story that is inspired by true events.

Two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot (Tom Holland and Chris Pratt), go on an epic quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in order to spend one last day with their father, who died when they were too young to remember him. The film starts with a
It’s been a very long time since I played the Sonic the Hedgehog video games on my brothers SEGA Megadrive. I was, and always have been, a Nintendo guy, so since then my only experience of Sonic has been when he joins forces with Mario and Co for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Despite being a huge fan of Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings, I’d managed to miss out on Missing Link, the latest movie from stop-motion masters Laika, last year when it was originally shown in cinemas. Having recently won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, and on the receiving end of a

I’m not exactly complaining, but Tom Holland does seem to literally be in everything right now. As I sat ready to watch Spies in Disguise, which features the voice of Tom Holland, there was a trailer for upcoming Pixar movie Onward, featuring the voice of Tom Holland. Then a trailer for Dolittle, starring Robert Downey

Like pretty much everyone else, when I first heard that the Robin Williams 1985 classic Jumanji was getting some kind of reboot/remake starring Dwayne Johnson, I was hugely sceptical. I probably even rolled my eyes and raised an eyebrow or something in disappointed disbelief! But then, also like pretty much everyone else judging by the
