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: The Covenant (2006)
So The Covenant is easily one of my favourite films, it is by no means perfect as I will expand upon later but something about it is nonetheless endearing. Before we move on to the actual review though I will expand upon the details of the movie a little more. The Covenant is a Canadian/American … Continue reading Movie Review: The Covenant (2006)

I promised it in my review of the adaptations of the Alex … Continue reading Movie Review: Eragon (2006)

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
