    Easily the best cinema experience of my life! I even made it to Nick Frost’s Instagram!! 

    Feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to attend the 20th anniversary of this incredible film in Leicester Square with a live Q&A from Edgar Wright and Nick Frost (Simon Pegg couldn’t attend due to illness, but Edgar still called him live on stage anyway!). I just have so much love for that trio, so I’ll remember this showing for the rest of my…

    I genuinely think the 20 minutes or so between the start of Good Mornin’ and end of Singin’ in the Rain just might be the best 20 minutes in cinema history. 

    Just a ridiculously feel-good film. 

    98/100.

    Week #12 - Maths Link (Minus One) 

    Amazing how good this looks on such a small budget…big studios take notes! 

    I can’t lie I’m not much of a Godzilla fan so I never really got into this, but can definitely appreciate how this was so loved.

    60/100.

    Wow this film is so, so underrated. I remember thinking this was completely average when it came out. Boy was I wrong.

    This is a beautiful story of realising your own identify, paving your way and the overlooked value of parental relationships. I loved it.

    83/100.

    As expected, this is such ridiculously silly fun.

    When it’s funny, it’s hilariously funny. Not every sketch worked for me, but when they did, my god was I laughing. Geniuses of comedy.

    Look, you stupid bastard, you’ve got no arms left! 

    70/100.

    Now this is epic…

    Enjoyed this and it had some great sequences, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was far, far too long. 

    65/100.
