“A great day this has turned out to be. I'm suicidal, me mate tries to kill me, me gun gets nicked and we're still in fucking Bruges!”
Martin McDonagh’s debut In Bruges is a masterpiece that balances its dark and grim presence with lots of hilarious comedy.
It follows two hitmen, Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and Ray (Colin Farrell), who have been ordered by their boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes) to lie low in Bruges after a job gone wrong. Ray is…
“I pity people who don’t know what it’s like to be this in love.”
As we enter Oscar season, it’s time to start receiving some of the strongest films of the year, and some of the most pretentious. My Policeman falls into the latter category.
It follows the marriage of Tom (Linus Roach) and Marion (Gina McKee) when it gets turned upside down by the arrival of their previously hospitalised friend Patrick (Rupert Everett), and the past affair of a…
“I don't wanna kill anybody. But, if I gotta get out that door and you're standing in my way, one way or the other, you're gettin' outta my way.“
Tarantino’s famed debut Reservoir Dogs, following the aftermath of a bank heist gone terribly wrong, is a fantastic starter film that perfectly displays what he has to offer as an artist, but has declined in quality for me with each rewatch.

“If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back. It's the law.”
Rye Lane is a romcom about two strangers, played by David Jonsson & Vivian Oparah, who connect over their recently ended relationships one day in South London.
One thing that really stood out for me was how big a role the world of South London plays in this film. It’s so vibrant, so rich with character that bursts in each shot and perfectly displays the…
“I'm vengeance.”
Obviously like any sane person I saw The Batman as soon as I could, and what a film it was. Almost three hours of Batman at its finest.
In his second year as Batman, Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) discovers a series of murders linked to a serial killer known as The Riddler (Paul Dano).
This didn’t even feel like watching a movie, it was like being sucked into the world of Gotham. I know that may sound cliché…
“So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.”
This film is almost impossible to review. I walked away from my local cinema after watching Everything Everywhere All At Once and I was absolutely astonished, still trying to piece together what I just watched. It’s a film that feels just as large as the multiverse it’s presenting.
A Chinese immigrant…
