“Ha ha ha! What a film, Mark!” A review of The Disaster Artist

  “Just because you want it doesn’t mean it can happen.” Rating: ★★★★ I was first introduced to The Room during a college Film Studies lecture as a perfect example of how not to make a film. Everything about it was atrocious, but I also found it weirdly compelling. Since then, I’ve made a real effort to follow everything relating to Tommy Wiseau and this bizarre film of … Continue reading “Ha ha ha! What a film, Mark!” A review of The Disaster Artist

The truth will set you free: My thoughts on “Jigsaw”

“You know what happens if we don’t play by the rules.” Rating: ★★ If you haven’t heard of the Saw franchise, you’ve probably been living under a rock. Spanning over eight films, two video games, and a few theme park attractions, it seems like we can’t get enough of it. To this day, the first film is one of my favourite horror films and one that … Continue reading The truth will set you free: My thoughts on “Jigsaw”

Survivor Meets Saw – “Series 7: The Contenders”

     “I’ve got nothing to live for, but I don’t wanna die.” Rating: ★★★ Reality TV is something we’re all too familiar with in this day and age. It seems like they’re always commissioning new shows where we act like voyeurs and watch other people live their lives, perform quirky (and often embarrassing) challenges, and compete against each other to win grand prizes. It’s nothing … Continue reading Survivor Meets Saw – “Series 7: The Contenders”

Life Requires Sacrifice: A Review of ‘The White Helmets’

  “All lives are precious and valuable” Rating: ★★★★ Oscar Winner: Best Documentary (Short Subject) The Syrian refugee crisis is a topic that is being widely discussed around the world. Pretending it hasn’t become fuel for political propaganda would be wrong of me, so I will briefly talk about that before reviewing the documentary. We’ve seen politicians talking about how our countries are “full” so we … Continue reading Life Requires Sacrifice: A Review of ‘The White Helmets’

T2 Trainspotting: Choose Life, Choose a F*cking Good Sequel

“So, Mark, what have you been up to? For 20 years?” Rating: ★★★★★ Feel free to debate me on this one, but Danny Boyle’s T2: Trainspotting is the most anticipated sequel we’ve had in a long time. Loosely based on Irvine Welsh’s novel Porno, and set 20 years after the original, the film follows the adventures of Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie, who captivated … Continue reading T2 Trainspotting: Choose Life, Choose a F*cking Good Sequel
