Movie Review: 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters'
As a child, my brother and I loved Godzilla. I mean the 1998 version. However, watching it now... there are some flaws. That does not mean I would not ditch the night scene to stay in and watch it with wine and popcorn. But what are my thoughts on this new installment of Godzilla? Well let's start with the good.

'Game of Thrones' Series Finale Review
The episode picks up right after Daenerys sets Kings Landing ablaze, burning the city to ashes, and killing the civilians within. It is with Tyrion we spend the first few minutes, walking through to the Red Keep, where he finds Jaime and Cersei laying dead underneath the rumble. Then, Jon has a disagreement with Grey Worm over executing the remainder of Cersei's army before going to face the new Queen herself.

'The Princess Bride' - (Netflix)
I watch a lot of films, a lot. I have always loved film and television and, though it is impossible to see everything—I have to work after all—I have seen a fair few films. Having said that, there are still a lot of films that I have not seen, films that a person who considers himself a bit of a film buff, should have seen. This is a little embarrassing.

Watching 'The Wandering Earth'
The Wandering Earth is a Chinese sci-fi film that came out in early 2019, and was distributed by Netflix after its theatrical run was over. The film revolves around the idea that the sun is dying, and so the human race comes together in order to develop a plan that would help humanity survive, as such, what they decide to do is to move the Earth itself into the nearest solar system.

'Rocketman' Is a Delightfully Entertaining Biopic with Great Performances
Before this movie even came out, and I saw the trailer for this film on TV, I knew that a biopic about Elton John would definitely be a hit at the Oscars next year.

The Perfect Romance - Review
Oh my lord. A true contender for the worst film on Netflix. Alien Warfare is terrible and currently holds the title, in my opinion, of the worst film on Netflix. Peelers is a worthy challenger, a film that somehow managed to make nudity boring. However, five minutes into My Perfect Romance, shitty musical background, and amateurish editorial split-screens aplenty, I am thinking that Alien Warfare may lose its crown.

If You Love Fun, You’ll Love Godzilla
Anyone who knows me knows that I love Godzilla. I’ve watched the Japanese films and loved all of them, from the puppets of the past to the modern CGI Shin Godzilla of recent years. America has had little success with Godzilla. There’s that 1998 tragedy that ruined the giant fire-breathing lizard, and the 2014 reboot that focused too much on the humans instead of the GIANT FIRE-BREATHING LIZARD.

'Kill Your Darlings' Film Review
Background Information The Beat Generation was a literary movement formed in New York during a post-war era. The movement involved renowned authors such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and others. Kerouac initially coined the phrase "Beat Generation" to portray themselves as part of an anti-conformist youth movement. The "Beats," as they were called, practiced beliefs such as sexual liberation, romanticism, modernism, etc. Each of them had a reputation for being bohemian and hedonistic once their lifestyles became public knowledge. Some of the most highly-acclaimed classic literary works of all-time depicted their participation in the Beat Generation, such as Kerouac's On the Road and Ginsberg's Howl.

'The Princess Switch'
It is the end of May and, here in the UK, summer is struggling to appear. Somewhat overwhelmed by the violence and darkness of some of the content I have been watching on Netflix of late, I decided to watch a Christmas film. Yes, I realise it is a little bit out of season but, for the most part, Christmas films are unfailingly uplifting and it stars the luminous Vanessa Hudgens.
