Akira- A game changer in animation
Akira is one of the most iconic movies ever and is probably THE most iconic anime film. Akira was released in Japan in 1988, and then released globally over the next couple of years, with it gaining both critical and audience acclaim alike. The animation is breath-taking on Akira, especially when you think about how much time went into the movie, with it all being hand drawn. It was the movie to change the perception that all animated films are for…

Silence Is Golden-Part 1-History
Movies of today are known for their one-liners, funny dialogue, fast paced action scenes and well renowned soundtracks. Spoken word plays a big part in today’s movie culture however there was a time when it was non-existent. Way back when, actors told the story using only their bodies, their facial expressions and a series of flashcards which were used to highlight the characters and plot of the story. The scripts only consisted of the cast and crew list as well…

Superman (1978) is one of the most influential films ever made, leading to a comic book and movie boom. The film still sets a standard and remains unmatched in its portrayal of the character's story. It has influenced directors like James Gunn, who is currently developing his own take on the Man of Steel, and Christopher Nolan, whose Dark Knight trilogy takes inspiration from its grounded portrayal and tragic hero arc. Even films like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man show parallels in…
Dean, Pacino....Paterson.
The Interrogation has a lot going for it. The writing is sharp, the direction is second to none, and the performances are consistantly excellent. That said, make no mistake, Paterson's performance is the real attraction. Endlessly energetic, frequently counter intuitive, and always compelling, one can't help but think we might be seeing the emrgance of a new Nic Cage for the TikTok generation.

Call Me by Your Name is one of the gentlest, heart-wrenching and painful pieces made in the last decade. The message this story has, the acting, and the cinematography is so simple, yet magical. It has an unbelievable emotional impact on anyone who watches it, no matter who you are, what you believe in, who you identify as, or your sexual orientation, everyone…
Where do you even start with this movie? It’s genuinely so messed up but it’s also such an important movie for many reasons. There was nothing like it before, and 43yrs later there’s been nothing like it since. For a good few reasons I will add. I watched the ‘uncut’ version, which here in the UK is still missing 6 seconds compared to other countries, however I’m not mad about it because the missing footage is a muskrat getting killed,…

A genuinely funny Netflix special. It’s been a long while.
Very well made documentary. There's some fantastic interviews and information in this one.
When i was around 12yrs old i watched this for the first time and hated it. Wow, how wrong was I? In recent years after multiple rewatches i find it to be one of the best movies ever.
It's so beautiful!! 100% the best use of colour and lighting in history, I can't describe how georgous this really is. The cinematography is absolutely mind blowing, it's the most stylistic movie I've seen, and in my opinion its the best looking…
It sucks that Regal didn't think to Re-Release this next week instead of this week because this would have been a Hell of a Double Feature with 65.
