The Biggest Mediocre Romantic Comedy — Nine Months (1995)

I’ve recently been in a bit of a movie-watching slump. I’m not sure if it’s due to having sat through too many seasons of Chuck before being forced to turn off everything after the atrocities of S5E1. However, it’s just been a little difficult for me to sit through a never-before-seen film or series without…

The Successful Rebirth of A Franchise — Miraculous: Ladybug and Cat Noir – The Movie

I’m not sure who watched the original Miraculous Ladybug TV series and thought to themselves: “Hmm… you know what? Putting the characters in skin-tight costumes isn’t enough. They really ought to be singing too.” Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir — The Movie (directed by Jeremy Zag) is the latest instalment of the Miraculous franchise. And…

‘Uptown Girls’ Is More Than a Comedy About Rich White Girls

I’ve been holding onto the intention of actually sitting down and watching the film for nearly a decade now, and it seemed that 2021 was the year to finally do it.

A Sensual and Intimate Summer Romance: Call Me By Your Name

Indie films were never really my cup of tea, but Call Me By Your Name —directed by Luca Guadagnino — might serve as the catalyst that changes all of that. I’d desperately like to refrain from labelling this film, and inadvertently limiting it, by categorising it as ‘a great queer film’ because it’s truly more…

Winston Churchill: A Light in ‘The Darkest Hour’

Award-winning director Joe Wright is back with another masterpiece. Much like his previous works, such as Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007), Darkest Hour functions as an absolutely brilliant film which ought to be seen and enjoyed for years to come. The film showcases the first five weeks of Winston Churchill’s appointment as British…

Thor: Ragnarok Film Review

Forget the first two Thor instalments because Thor: Ragnarok just blew them out of the water. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been slightly tense lately, as the MCU frantically tries to make ends meet before Infinity War begins in 2019. With so many loose ends and the tension left from Captain America: Civil War, comedy…

Itazura Na Kiss [The Movie] Review

Hello. It’s been quite a few months since I’ve reviewed anything on this site. I’m not going to make any promises but I am thinking of writing a review for the new Logan film as well as an animated film which was recently retitled as Leap, that I quite enjoyed. Obviously it was crucial and expected that…

La La Land – Film Review

I’m not one to pay attention to the Golden Globes however it was absolutely impossible to stay ignorant about the explosion that the film La La Land seemed to have caused towards the end of 2016. Even for someone, who has ‘A Rock’ sprawled as my home address, to hear of such ludicrousy just automatically…

Kingsman – The Secret Service [Film Review]

I haven’t had the energy to write these past couple of weeks; which would explain the lack of my promised Tom Holland post on LinnTellsAStory. However, all is well because even though I am currently stumbling through the day on a measly two hours of shuteye, my newfound love for the 2014 film : Kingsman…

Bridget Jones’s Baby – Film Review

Great news. I am officially back; and staying. I have just finished my final WACE examinations which ultimately means that I am finally done with my twelve years of compulsory schooling and ready to move onto the next stage of my life. Adulthood. I’m sure we’ll continue this great conversation on my other blog: LinnTellsAStory…
