    Weapons: Another Nail-Biting Horror from Zach Cregger

    Zach Cregger’s second film Weapons successfully expands his collection of absurdist horrors, following the triumph of his directorial debut Barbarian in 2022. This much anticipated feature delivers on tension and carefully placed scares, and its intriguing narrative structure leads viewers through the withheld secrets of the main characters. At 2.17 am, 17 children from Justine […]

    ‘Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy’ (2025): An imperfectly perfect film.

    I walked into the cinema with the biggest hope in my heart that this movie wouldn’t let me down and it didn’t. It delivered, if not more than delivered on my expectations for it.  For me, the Bridget Jones movies are a comfort movie, it feels like being wrapped in a big warm hug, but […]

    ‘We Live in Time’ (2025) : live, laughed, lost my ability to hold back tears.

    Wicked: A Spellbinding Cinematic Triumph

    A successful adaptation of a musical into a film is no mean feat. In my opinion, it is quite the risk to attempt to capture the magic that a theatre show exudes and make it into a blockbuster without losing the energy of the performances or using really bad CGI (the 2019 Cats film speaks […]

    The Good, The Bad, and the Review of Netflix’s ‘Uglies’ (2024)

    Based on Scott Westerfeld’s 2005 young adult novel, Netflix’s adaptation of Uglies is relatively simple. In a dystopian future three hundred years from now, the government funds everything, including the mandated extreme cosmetic surgery everyone receives at the age of 16, transforming them from an ‘Ugly’ into a ‘Pretty’.  Both the book and the film […]
