Citizenfour

Posted 4:35pm Sunday 22nd February 2015 by Mandy Te

Rating: 4/5 I have a love–hate relationship with documentaries. If they’re centred on animals, murder mysteries or food, then I love them, but if they’re on glaciers or erosion and use scientific vocabulary that isn’t easily defined for BA students like myself, then I’m not interested.

Aladdin

Classic Film Aladdin, as far as i am concerned, is a timeless classic that represents the pinnacle of Disney. It came out the year I was born and I think I watched it for the first time when I was around a year old. I recently bought the DVD to replace the utterly destroyed VHS of my Read more...

The Maze Runner

Posted 11:58pm Sunday 12th October 2014 by CJ O'Connor

Rating: A I can honestly say The Maze Runner surprised me. Having seen the shorts of the movie only last week, I was pretty much expecting an incarnation of The Hunger Games. And I did not like The Hunger Games. At all. So while the two franchises have commonalities, I found the plot of Maze Read more...

Hook

Posted 1:49pm Sunday 5th October 2014 by CJ O'Connor

Classic Film Hook is basically a representation of my childhood; I watched it so many times I destroyed the VHS. Given my attachment to all things Peter Pan and disinclination to actually grow up, it’s probably a fair representation of my current psychological state as well. This was one of Read more...
