I'm just going to say, 2017 was one of the best years for movies. So many amazing movies came out and they easily outnumbered the bad ones (even though there were still a lot of terrible movies).

‘Bright’ Review: A Netflix Movie That Would Have Worked Better as a TV Series
It's basically 'End of Watch' mixed with 'The Lord of the Rings' but not as good.

Set in an…Read more ‘Bright’ Review: A Netflix Movie That Would Have Worked Better as a TV Series
‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ Review: Psychological Horror At Its Finest
Watching 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' is like having a needle slowly going into your eye, but damn it is worth it. Starring Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Raggey Cassidy, Sunny Suljic and Barry Keoghan, 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' is the newest movie to come from the mind of idiosyncratic filmmaker, Yorgos Lanthimos.…Read more ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ Review: Psychological Horror At Its Finest
‘Leatherface’ Review: A Dissapointing Origin Story for one of the Scariest Movie Villains Ever
When the trailer for 'Leatherface' came out in July, I watched it and it quickly became one of my favourite trailers of the year.

Then…Read more ‘Leatherface’ Review: A Dissapointing Origin Story for one of the Scariest Movie Villains Ever

‘Raw’ Review: A Modern Horror Masterpiece
To tell you the truth, this is the first movie in about four years that actually made me feel sick.

It follows Justine (Garance Marillier), a…Read more ‘Raw’ Review: A Modern Horror Masterpiece
‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Review: A Unique Star Wars Movie That Takes the Series in a Bold Direction
About thirty minutes into 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi', I started to realise that this wasn't a typical 'Star Wars' movie. This was different in a way that I can only touch on briefly in this review due to this being a spoiler-free review, but I loved it. Starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver,…Read more ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Review: A Unique Star Wars Movie That Takes the Series in a Bold Direction
‘The Disaster Artist’ Review: Oh Hi James, You’ve Made a Real Hollywood Movie!
If you are a fan of movies or pop culture in general, then you should have heard about or seen the infamous "Citizen Kane of bad movies" known as 'The Room'. It is a movie so bad, that it is amazing. What I mean by this is that nothing makes sense, the acting is horrible,…Read more ‘The Disaster Artist’ Review: Oh Hi James, You’ve Made a Real Hollywood Movie!
