Fyre (2019) Review

December 21, 2020 Ben

The best documentaries rely on credible and accurate information. If Fyre hadn’t been a documentary and hadn’t been filled with talking head interviews from people that witnessed the chaos and bizarre event first-hand, you’d think this was a wacky Seth … Continue reading Fyre (2019) Review

Miss Americana (2020) Review

June 15, 2020 Ben

How much you appreciate Miss Americana won’t depend on your love of Taylor Swift but rather how objective you like your documentaries, particularly those with seemingly so much control from the subject. To the unfamiliar, you would wonder why Taylor … Continue reading Miss Americana (2020) Review

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

The Irishman (2019) Review

April 9, 2020 Ben

All the ingredients are here for The Irishman to be a Scorcese classic; Returning legends that have worked with Scorcese in some of his best movies; A “true story” which focuses on gangsters and the criminal fraternity; Robert De Niro … Continue reading The Irishman (2019) Review

Hail Satan? (2019) Review

April 2, 2020 Ben

What could have been an in-depth, sympathetic look at what the seemingly misunderstood religion of Satanism really stands for is instead portrayed as a sensationalist documentary which doesn’t ever get truly to the bottom of what people involved in Satanism … Continue reading Hail Satan? (2019) Review

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018) Review

March 26, 2019 Ben

It is difficult to treat Bandersnatch as a movie. It is designed to be consumed as a film, with a clear narrative, characters to root for and being available on Netflix, a platform designed for this sort of media. However, Bandersnatch … Continue reading Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018) Review

Oscars 2019: Roma (2018) Review

March 12, 2019 Ben

Whether you enjoy Roma or not will be entirely dependent on whether you enjoy movies that lack any actual narrative. To say that Roma has no story may be oversimplifying things slightly and a disservice to director Alfonso Cuaron but if … Continue reading Oscars 2019: Roma (2018) Review

Best of the Rest 2018: Annihilation (2018) Review

January 30, 2019January 29, 2019 Ben

Netflix seems like the perfect fit for Annihilation. It is a movie that would struggle with a traditional classification and certainly doesn’t fit into any genre comfortably. It can be described as a clever science-fiction movie but one that touches upon … Continue reading Best of the Rest 2018: Annihilation (2018) Review

Trailer of the Week:The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

September 16, 2018September 16, 2018 Ben

I am not a fan of the Coen brothers. It is an unpopular view but where people think that everything they touch seems to turn to gold, I find their films passable at best. This means that a new Coen movie … Continue reading Trailer of the Week:The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

Okja (2017) Review

April 2, 2018April 2, 2018 Ben

A movie about a girl who befriends a giant pig and then goes on a world-wide search to bring him home when he is “pig-napped: it is easy to imagine Okja as a childish, Disney-inspired movie but you would be … Continue reading Okja (2017) Review
