Depression and loneliness are emotions that I believe we will all experience but will experience in all different forms. My mental health has always been rocky but why it is like that is due to my life experiences which are solely exclusive to me. What others will go through I will never understand. Mental health […]

The land is filled with Black Gold, and while it is never explicitly stated the white man cannot allow this to continue. It is a tale as old of time. Fragile egos of white men who cannot see themselves without power, especially when controlled by native Americans. Killers of the Flower Moon is the story […]

Eileen LFF 23 Review
Eileen is a hard and somewhat complicated film to talk about. For one talking about the plot is a nightmare, the film starts as a film about a young lady’s sexual suppression against a new colleague’s sexual freedom mixed in with a drunk alcoholic dad that leads the main character to want to blow her […]

Saltburn LFF 23 Review
“But it’s just the price I pay, Destiny Is calling me”. Mr Brightside by The Killers is an American song that in ways became an anthem in Britain played at every nightclub and festival to get the crowd hyped since its inception.

The camera follows the snowflake as it slowly floats in the wind and then lays on the open eye. We then pan out to reveal the great tragedy that has already unfolded from a battle […]

The Lesson Review
“Great writers steal” this line which lingers throughout the entire film and in certain ways is somewhat a thematic catalyst for this review as this line both highlights what I like about this film and what I don’t at the same time. There is this idea that within storytelling which is every story has already […]

The Expendables 4 Review
Fool me once shame on me, fool me four times then maybe I should stop having hope. The Expendables on paper should be one of the biggest action franchises ever. The first instalment starred some of the biggest action stars of all time like Stallone, Statham, Li, and Lundgren. But this franchise has been products […]
Full Disclosure, I have never seen a Rise of the Footsoldier film. I have heard of them and seen the DVD cases for them in a Poundland here and there over the years. But I’ve never dived head-first into a franchise until now. I know I am diving in at the deep end instead of […]
