It is week forty seven of my 2018 film challenge and this week’s theme is… A film by an African filmmaker I owe a big thank you to Elliot Coen for this one – I’d watched District 9 by South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp originally, but took to Twitter for more suggestions after feeling like […]
Read More BLACK GIRL | 2018 FILM CHALLENGENetflix originals are usually pretty hit and miss, especially when it comes to television shows. Case in point: Stranger Things, and then Insatiable. But trust me when I say the streaming platform’s latest addition is well worth your time: you need to see The Haunting of Hill House. Adapted as a re-imagining by Mike Flanagan from […]
Read More THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSEIt’s rare that a film with such a massive build up to it comes with such a huge amount of backlash before production even stars, especially after such a successful franchise behind it. Enter Fantastic Beasts: the Crimes of Grindelwald. The highly anticipated sequel to the spin off series of the infamous Harry Potter series was […]
Read More THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALDWe are back with week forty six of my twenty eighteen challenge, and this week’s theme was… A film about a wedding I have seen a LOT of films about weddings.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how […]
Read More MY MUM’S BEST CINEMA EXPERIENCESOf all of 2018’s film releases, this one is one of the few I’ve been anticipating the most. My mum raised me on Queen. One of my most watched VHS’s of my childhood was Greatest Hits Volume II Music Video’s and I adored it. I Want to Break Free was my favourite and Innuendo scared me […]
Read More BOHEMIAN RHAPSODYIt is week forty five of my 2018 film challenge (every week closer to week fifty two is freaking me out more), and this week’s theme is…. A film based on a comic book or graphic novel I’m pretty sure there are few films in that category I haven’t seen, but there’s one with a […]
Read More WATCHMEN | 2018 FILM CHALLENGEWe’re back with week forty four of my 2018 film challenge and this week’s theme is… A film from your favourite genre I don’t know if I have a favourite genre – almost any one I appreciate. So after lots of deliberation, I’ve settled on a classic romantic comedy, because I am always a sucker for […]
Read More WHEN HARRY MET SALLY | 2018 FILM CHALLENGEHi! This post is going to be half my monthly round up, half an update as to why my blog has been a little slow as of late – so get a cup of tea and come back to have a read. The reason I’ve been a little AWOL is that I’ve been in Bournemouth […]
