When it was first announced that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland would be going back to the “28 … Later” series a few years ago, I expected it to be an initial one and done and if there were going to be sequels there would be a little gap between them. That’s not the case… Continue reading 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review
The Voice of Hind Rajab Review
This is a hard film to watch and it needs to be. During the Israeli occupation of Gaza there have been countless war crimes committed against the Palestinian people, this film being focused on the killing of Hind Rajab by the IDF. The film does this by focusing on the call between her and the… Continue reading The Voice of Hind Rajab Review
2025 End of Year Retrospective
So we’ve come to the end of 2025 and thank goodness the year is over.

Cheltenham Film Festival: Palestine 36 Review
I think it’s best that I start out by saying that the ongoing genocide in Gaza is one of the great evils of the world today. The displacement and violence towards the Palestinian people and the indifference and active promotion of it by politicians around the world is a mark of shame. I also want… Continue reading Cheltenham Film Festival: Palestine 36 Review

London Film Festival 2025: Is This Thing On Review
Going back to the films I’ve been watching at the London Film Festival, this is the last of the big gala films that have been on at the festival that I’ve seen.

D(e)ad Review
Moving away from the films I’ve seen as part of the London Film Festival, over the past few months I’ve become more of a fan of the comedy that’s being shown on Dropout. Having started from a few Game Changer clips, I’ve become more interested in the comedy stylings of the company and seeing how… Continue reading D(e)ad Review
London Film Festival 2025: The Mastermind Review
Continuing on with the gala showings at the London Film Festival this year, the next film I decided to go for was The Mastermind.
