What if a simple DNA test could match you to your one true love? And how far would you go to find The One? Well, if that idea sounds vaguely familiar then it might be because you’ve watched the show Soulmates, which recently released on Amazon Prime and covers a very similar concept. The One,
Film #12 on the 100 Movies Bucket List: The Terminator The Terminator is a sci-fi classic and responsible not only for helping propel Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron to the household names they are now but also for creating a movie franchise that is still going nearly 40 years later. Although admittedly the majority of

Film #10 on the 100 Movies Bucket List: The Prestige The Prestige is one of 3 Christopher Nolan films on this bucket list (the others being Memento and The Dark Knight), and probably the one that has least recognition out of the three. In fact, I’d say it’s criminally underrated. It focuses on two rival

Maxine Winslow (Sydne Mikelle), or Max for short, is our Charlie Bucket, coming from a single-parent family and living with a mother who is struggling with debt. Tech-savvy Max is also a skilled

Bloodshot is not the kind of film I’d waste my time going to watch at the cinema, however I jumped at the opportunity to watch it in the comfort of my own home where I could tune out and do other things if it got dull. And I’m rather pleasantly surprised to admit that it

OK. What just happened? “Don’t try to understand it” is the advice given to John David Washington’s unnamed protagonist early on in the film. As a viewer, this could be interpreted as Nolan issuing us either a warning or a challenge… I’m still not sure which, but I know fans will certainly be decrypting Tenet for many years to come. Hats (and masks) off to whoever did understand the film on their first viewing. I’d say this is perhaps one of the most ambitious mind-bending projects I’ve
Set in the 1950s, in the fictional town of Cayuga, New Mexico, The Vast of Night is a low-budget sci-fi mystery very much in the style of a Twilight Zone episode. We begin by watching an old black and white TV set of the era, while a voiceover narrates the show being screened on it

Right off the bat, this latest remake of the classic H.G. Wells story shows us just how suspenseful it can be. It’s the middle of the night and a wide-awake Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss) quietly climbs out of bed so as not to disturb her sleeping partner Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). It quickly becomes apparent that she

Terminator: Dark Fate is the sixth movie in a franchise which has now been around for a staggering 35 years. The first of the sequels, Judgement Day back in 1991, is widely regarded by many as one of the greatest movie sequels of all time and for me it still holds up as an incredible

I think I was one of the few people that was ultimately disappointed by Spider-Man: Homecoming. After Spider-Man’s impressive and thrilling introduction to the Marvel universe during Captain America: Civil War, I felt Homecoming to be somewhat lacking – big set pieces that had already been revealed in the trailers, bigger set pieces that were
