Marriage Story (2019) Review

June 2, 2020 Ben

The real accomplishment of Marriage Story is how real it feels and how it manages to present such a raw subject in such a balanced way. There are plenty of films that have dissected the institution of marriage but many fall … Continue reading Marriage Story (2019) Review

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review

January 27, 2020 Ben

Considering this is the movie to end a nine film franchise that spans over 42 years, it lacks a lot of the key planning which could have made it the rightful end to the Star Wars and Skywalker story. Being … Continue reading Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review

Frances Ha (2012) Review

March 24, 2019 Ben

How much you enjoy Frances Ha will depend entirely on whether you like a film where very little happens. Frances Ha falls into the category of “typical indie” which has been done to death and has so many of it’s own … Continue reading Frances Ha (2012) Review

Oscars 2019: BlacKkKlansman (2018) Review

February 7, 2019February 6, 2019 Ben

BlacKkKlansman has the kind of plot point that is almost too good to be true: A black man manages to infiltrate the KKK. It is even better when you realise that this is based on a true story and although it … Continue reading Oscars 2019: BlacKkKlansman (2018) Review

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) Review

December 20, 2017December 19, 2017 Ben

The Last Jedi makes it clear how much nostalgia can cover over “the cracks.” The Force Awakens was a great movie. Very exciting, thrilling and welcome return to a franchise that was in desperate need of some quality. While watching The … Continue reading Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) Review

Trailer of the Day: Logan Lucky

May 31, 2017 Ben

I love trailers. I think there is a special skill to putting together a good trailer. It must capture the attention and entice an audience but give very little away so that the viewer doesn’t feel like they’ve already seen … Continue reading Trailer of the Day: Logan Lucky

Girls (Season 5) TV Review

June 14, 2016June 14, 2016 Ben

I review a whole season rather than individual episodes, so there is a chance of spoilers. If you haven’t watched the whole season yet, stop reading now! Lena Dunham has managed to create a series which almost entirely based around obnoxious characters … Continue reading Girls (Season 5) TV Review

Midnight Special (2016) Review

April 10, 2016April 10, 2016 Ben

Midnight Special feels like “real science-fiction.” This may seem like a contradiction in terms but the way that writer and director Jeff Nichols presents his science-fiction story is completely in the realms of realism and fact. Throughout the film the aspect … Continue reading Midnight Special (2016) Review

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) Review

December 17, 2015 Ben

J.J Abrams is clearly a Star Wars fan. That much is clear as you watch the first twenty minutes or so of the The Force Awakens. It feels non-stop and relentless with the storm-troopers, a menacing villain who is not unlike … Continue reading Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) Review
