WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers As many of you may be aware, I have already covered a few countries of Central and Western Europe individually – Austria, France and the Netherlands to name a few. Unfortunately, it is a lot harder to find enough films for each of the remaining countries so I felt …

Thor AKA Chris Hemsworth
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I just wanted to make you all aware that there will be no honorary mentions at the end of this article. These films mentioned here are the only films Chris Hemsworth made before taking on the role of Thor, so you can basically say that the MCU is where …
Piranha 1978 vs 1995
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers Here’s something funny and more specifically something I learned while writing this article and that is that I didn’t realise this remake even existed – only that it was remade in 2010 in 3D. On top of this, and a slightly more interesting fact, is that the original film …
Female Led-Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m going to be honest, thanks to a little film known as The Descent along with Ten that I discussed in a previous article – I have very little faith in all female horror films. Now, that probably doesn’t sound great for an Independent Women’s Day article but I …

Rocket Raccoon AKA Bradley Cooper
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s funny to think that one of my favourite characters in the whole of the Guardians of the Galaxy films is voiced by an actor that I don’t exactly rate very highly. What’s interesting is that the films show a long friendship between Groot and Rocket which is true, …
Rom-Coms Through the Decades pt1
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ve always said that I don’t like Rom Coms but I started to wonder if the reason I don’t like them is that I’m not a fan of modern romantic comedies. So, why not go as far back as I can to see if I’m right and how the …

He was awarded a scholarship to RADA from which he qualified with a RADA Diploma at the age of 20. After RADA he joined the …
Suspiria de Profundis
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers So, you know how I’ve said before that I wasn’t doing anymore remake articles that were based on books? Well, I find it rather interesting that these films are actually based on an essay by Thomas De Quincey from 1845. Now, the 2018 remake is considered to be “inspired” …
