Movie Review: I Don’t Buy Kisses Anymore (1992)

So since I first saw this as a child it has been one of my favourite films. I'm not quite sure how it ended up in my collection. No doubt my mum bought it for me and I'm glad she did because even now nearly 30 years later it still resonates with me. Okay so … Continue reading Movie Review: I Don’t Buy Kisses Anymore (1992)

Movie Review: Kill Me Now (2012)

So I first saw this in 2017 when Michael Swaim made it available on the Small Beans YouTube channel, and was recently reminded of it when talking about how much I liked Michael Swaim and so I decided to review it. Before we get started, a quick info dump, Kill Me Now, is a 2012, … Continue reading Movie Review: Kill Me Now (2012)

Movie Review: Must Come Down (2012)

I first saw Must Come Down back in 2014, in fact I think it was probably the first movie I ever purchased digitally. I came across it because I was already a fan of one of the stars, Ashly Burch, from her co-starring in the internet comedy series ‘Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?’ alongside her brother … Continue reading Movie Review: Must Come Down (2012)

Movie Review: Eragon (2006)

I’ve been on something of a movie review kick lately, talking about some big and small screen adaptations of books that I’ve loved since I was a kid and now here we are with the 2006 movie adaptation of Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I promised it in my review of the adaptations of the Alex … Continue reading Movie Review: Eragon (2006)

Movie Review: The Celluloid Woman (2020)

Today I will be reviewing the short film ‘The Celluloid Woman’ which was submitted to us by director and writer Anantha Krishnan. The movie was released in July 2020, and this review comes with a quick apology, as I’ve had this sitting burning a hole in my inbox for a while, but I’ve finally managed … Continue reading Movie Review: The Celluloid Woman (2020)

A Review of Slay Belles, a movie directed by SpookyDan Walker and featuring Kristina Klebe, Susan Slaughter and Hannah Minx.

Movie Review: Cleek (2017)

The first thing that really struck me about the film was the incredible cinematography, the opening shots are amazing, the drone shots in particular are really impressive but not drawn out, I have noticed a trend in some indie movies where to pad the run time they will fill it full of long shots, and … Continue reading Movie Review: Cleek (2017)

Movie Review: Don’t Look Under the Bed

For no particular reason whatsoever I remembered this film existed yesterday and decided to review it. I was surprised, especially considering this was a Disney Channel Original Movie, that a lot of people I asked either didn't remember or didn't know about this movie. I think this was compounded by the fact that it had … Continue reading Movie Review: Don’t Look Under the Bed

Movie Review: Blackball

Blackball has all the makings of a cult classic, it's certainly an engaging plot, but it never quite gained the recognition that I felt it deserved. In fact the reviews were largely mixed, with some agreeing, like me, that it's a carefree and enjoyable little sporty romp, while others felt, with some merit I suppose … Continue reading Movie Review: Blackball

Movie Review: Gattaca

Maybe it's just the literary nerd in me but I really like movies which open with a quote of some kind, and the more obscure the better in my opinion. Gattaca opens with a pair of whoppers, the first is a poignant quote from Ecclesiastes 7:13, "consider god's handiwork who can straighten what he hath … Continue reading Movie Review: Gattaca

Movie Review: Inception

Inception is a really good movie, but despite the rave reviews and personal recommendations from people whose opinions I trust, it took me way too long to actually get around to watching this movie. Good or not, it's far from perfect, and lies heavily upon some pretty sketchy premises, but those don't notably impact my … Continue reading Movie Review: Inception

Movie Review: Limitless

Considering the trippy, very cognitive nature of this movie, that it felt like one big long 'Hangover' from Bradley Cooper. Shit Joke Alert! And I'm starting off early this time. I think that Limitless makes my personal Top 5 favourites movies, joining movies like Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Shawshank Redemption, Bulletproof Monk and Disturbia. … Continue reading Movie Review: Limitless
