Film Review: You Won’t Be Alone
With a constant stream of negative news and the relentless social media echo chamber, it’s easy to forget what it’s like to simply be alive. Our lives are so complex and convoluted nowadays that we often forget to pause and take a minute to just catch our breath. Increasingly, people are looking for a way …
Film Review: Explorer
There have always been people who are inexplicably driven, from an early age, compelled to test the boundaries of what mankind is capable of. To stretch the limits of human endurance and to be the first to reach the most inhospitable and isolated places. They will strive to do this, regardless of the cost. This …
Film Review – Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street
Whilst it might not have had the same cultural impact in the UK as in the US, Sesame Street is one of those rare TV programmes which is universally remembered with fondness. Loved by young and old alike, not only did it provide (almost transfixing) entertainment for young minds, it also did a great job …
Film Review: Dear Rider
While the history of snowboarding can’t be traced back to just one single point, the first model which resembles a modern snowboard first appeared in the 1960s. The original was basically an adaptation of a surfboard which wfor tailored to the pistes. These ‘snurfers’ became available towards the end of the decade but it’s widely …
Film Review: Dawn Raid
When the subject of hip hop and rap music comes up, it’s natural to think of America. That is where it all began and that’s where the money has always been. The biggest labels, the biggest artists. Indeed, it’s these sounds which get pumped into homes around the world. However, there are so many rich …

However, that on scratches the surface. The deeper you delve; the darker and more mysterious they become. What lurks within their depths? What manner of creature occupies these murky realms, …
Film Review: Come Play
Children seem to have almost limitless imaginations. Undimmed by the daily grind of life, they can create their own distinctive worlds and narratives. Even invisible friends. This expresses itself in many forms, but none more terrifyingly than in nightmares. The monster in the closet. The creature under the bed. Lurking in the shadows, just waiting …
Film Review – Kipchoge: The Last Milestone
As homo sapiens we seem motivated to incessantly push the limits of our own bodies. There’s a relentless desire to run faster or for longer, jump higher or further, throw harder or with more accuracy. What would have originally been necessitated by our needs as hunter gatherers to eat or survive is now replaced by …
Film Review: Greenland
Gerard Butler is possibly one of the least likely action heroes. Firstly, Hollywood blockbusters aren’t exactly normally the province of a leading Scotsman. Indeed, you’re more like to get Mel Gibson or Christopher Lambert murdering a Scottish accent. Then, there’s the fact he graduated from law school, which marks him out as someone a bit …
Film Review: Framing John DeLorean
If you’re like me, a child who grew up in the ‘80s, the DeLorean was an iconic car. This is almost entirely down to the role it played alongside Doc Brown and Marty McFly in the Back to the Future films. For an older generation, John DeLorean was synonymous with entrepreneurship, high capitalism and scandal. …
