A whip-cracking crusade into the lost art of filmmaking!
September is the new October. Nothing but horror films for as long as the eye can see. Between zombies, cursed books, demonic interstellar clowns and existential space voyages, September has had nothing but gothic thrills and dramatic terror. Although not the best month, at the very least, September kept on brand... profiting off the upcoming … Continue reading RANKED: September Releases of 2019 (Recap)
There was quite an assortment for this month; some noticeable directors at play here, including Quentin Tarantino, Ari Aster, David Leitch and Makoto Shinkai. And from that assortment we got some real auteurs delivering some real works of art... and, of course, I am talking about the month's resident Fast & Furious spin-off. But hey, in … Continue reading RANKED: August Releases of 2019 (Recap)
Wow, this month has felt like two months and I have only reviewed three films... funny that. But no, the truth of the matter is I've just been on a massive break, so apologises for the lack of posts over the last month. However, here's a wrap up of the little July we experienced. All … Continue reading RANKED: July Releases of 2019 (Recap)
The calendar year's resident blockbuster month didn't do much to... well... bust the block, if I'm being honest. With a couple of living, breathing toys and Earthly black suited protectors fighting intergalactic forces, I'd say we got, if anything, a rather conceptually repetitive month. But hey for all the awfulness of the X-Men's last stand, … Continue reading RANKED: June Releases of 2019 (Recap)
With the release of Toy Story 4, I thought it would be fun to look back at the filmography of Pixar Animation Studios and roughly rank the films before they hit the BIG 21. Its difficult to look at these through a completely objective lens, so I will first and foremost admit that most of these … Continue reading RANKED: The Filmography of Pixar
Best way to summarise the movies of May 2019... hmm... I wonder... oh, here we go. So imagine John Wick was given a hit list to assassinate Elton John, Godzilla, the Brightburn kid, Pikachu and Aladdin (ESCPECIALLY Aladdin), I would say, in the course of a month, he was successful in four out of five … Continue reading RANKED: May Releases of 2019 (Recap)
Wow. Finally. A solid month of cinema. Like shining beacons of hope, taking the shape of Earth's mightiest heroes or a little boy from the mid-90s transforming into the great wizard, Shazam - April has managed to offer a brighter future ahead for 2019. Like revived pets or a burning demon - a few missing … Continue reading RANKED: April Releases of 2019 (Recap)
Higher, further, faster... yo, was that in reference to Captain Marvel or Dumbo? March 2019 has honestly been not too shabby for cinematic outputs. Either I have gone completely insane and love a bit of serial killer juiciness but it looks like Lars Von Trier and Jordan Peele won the month for me whilst the … Continue reading RANKED: March Releases of 2019 (Recap)
They say second months a charm (wait... do they?) but it would seem February 2019 has been a bit of a let down. With more dull films than big hitters, it was more the poetic intakes of cinema that made for anything memorable, including insights into Japanese drinks and American babies. But in the field … Continue reading RANKED: February Releases of 2019 (Recap)
And so 2019 has begun. Although some films (*cough* Welcome to Marwen *cough*) were removed from the month's slate (bugger), January has managed to survive with some really solid releases. Flying nanny's, friendly dragons and clinically insane superheroes have plagued the big screen for a solid four weeks now as I've sat back and thought, "wow … Continue reading RANKED: January Releases of 2019 (Recap)
