    Showing Reality.

    This film I think will fly under the radar for many, and I find that a damn shame. It’s directorial debut for Tina Satter and a brilliant watch, keeping this sense of tension all the way through whilst being truthful. It has a sense of naturalism due to the transcript being verbatim for the screenplay, whilst incorporating other methods of displaying the truthfulness of the script with audio logged files with dates etc, visual display of the transcript being…

    Describe The Film In Two Words: “A Hoot!”

    This film is made for the big screen. An absolute epic of debauchery and an ode to an era of cinema whilst also highlighting its difficult past. The first hour and a half is insane in excess - there is always something going on it the background of the frame - and is also ridiculously funny with how over the top it is. Damien Chazelle has practically made the Wolf Of Wall…

    Was Not Happy With This.

    The plot seemed rather thin, along with not really feeling believable that the “villains” would actually go that far. It also felt a little exploitative in a classist kind of way towards small town working class kind of people. Ended in (to me) typical late 2000’s horror type of way that just felt so unsatisfying. 

    Didn’t really care too much for our protagonists either, which I think is more due dialogue than Michael Fassbender or…

    Like a Deflated Testicle. 

    Upgrade and The Invisible Man were both film that I never saw in cinemas as I thought the trailers looked rubbish but watched later on on streaming, thoroughly enjoying both and being surprised by how well made and entertaining they were. The trailer for Wolf Man also looked rubbish so I therefore thought “I won’t miss out this time!”

    However, it was rubbish. It WAS entertaining to a certain degree, but it really didn’t deliver in the…

    The People Wanted This Film, But As Super Hans Says;


               “People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazi’s, you can’t trust people”.

    I don’t really know where to start. There’s so much to say here but I’ve got to preface my words with this; the film was always going to be better than Joss Whedon’s version, so saying it is better isn’t exactly a good endorsement. Also, if you enjoyed this that’s fine and i’m…

    This Got Old. Real Quick.

    They say time is the greatest healer. I can only hope so for the damage caused by what M. Night Shyamalan put me through.

    The opening lines of the film serve as a precursor for what is to come; atrocious dialogue. It seems Shyamalan can’t write human characters but instead expositional plot points with limbs and flappy mouth holes for a screenwriters worst nightmare. The film doesn’t even allow you to figure things out for…
