I have to admit that until a year or so ago, I despised Ricky Gervais with a passion. For a long time I just didn’t ‘get’ him and mistook his incredibly dry sense of humour for incredible rudeness. But as time’s gone on, I’ve grown to really appreciate his sense of humour and his down-to-earth view on the world, it also helps that he’s a … Continue reading David Brent: Life on the Road

Paul Feig’s latest foray into female-centric comedy, Spy, is a comedy masterpiece full of feisty female characters. If you want to see gender roles turned on their heads look no further, for once the women take the lead and the men are pretty much just there to look good. Melissa McCarthy smashes stereotypes playing a feisty, sassy, sexy and intelligent female spy who outshines her male contemporaries … Continue reading Why ‘Spy’ shows how women’s roles in film are changing
This year for halloween me and the other half decided to go to the cinema. The other option was go out and get drunk, and in hindsight I think we made the wrong choice. I’d been waiting to see The Babadook for months, ever since I first read about it online. All the reviews seemed positive, the trailer and stills from the film all looked … Continue reading The Babadook – A Very Un-Scary Halloween
The Conjuring spin off Annabelle is quite possibly one of the best horror films I’ve seen in a while.

Obviously the tension is heightened when you see a horror in the cinema, but usually I don’t feel ‘scared’. Annabelle had me shitting myself. It’s like director … Continue reading Annabelle

In Italy I watched over 20 films in 8 days so when I got back I was completely filmed out, but still I rushed to see Iron Man … Continue reading Day 16: The Last Movie you Saw in Theatres
I’m not sure that this was the first film I saw in the cinema but I’d have been 6 when it came out and I distinctly remember my brother and me getting excited about going to see it, so it’s a pretty safe bet that it was the first! I don’t remember much about this film at all, so there’s not a lot I can say … Continue reading Day 15: The First Movie you saw in Theatres
