  • Lost (tv series)

    Recently I’ve been watching an old favourite TV series that I picked up in my local CEX shop on the High street. I last watched Lost season 1 in Affric ward in New Craigs. And before that I watched Lost, for the first time, when I was living in Connel in Argyll (near Oban). Lost… Read more

  • Fight Club

    One film that always seems to enter my thoughts is the Brad Pitt Edward Norton movie Fight Club. The film itself was made in 1999 and when I first heard of this film I was put off by the name, however the film itself is a very philosophical film in my opinion. I’ve had thoughts… Read more

  • The Brutalist (contains spoilers)

    I just saw The Brutalist yesterday at my local cinema and I did enjoy the film. However one of the most notable criticisms of this film is it is 3hrs 30 minutes which makes it a significantly longer film than your average one. There was however an intermission of 15 minutes in which I got… Read more

The film came out in 2014 and features Michael Keaton as an aging actor who previously played a fictional superhero (in the movie universe) called Birdman. The film is set in New York in Broadway. The film is about Keaton’s attempt to direct… Read more

  • Inception

    One film I especially love is the science fiction film featuring multiple Hollywood stars, Inception. The film is seemingly set in the near future, and it takes place in Paris, Japan, Mombasa in part, but most of it takes place in dreamworlds. Some explaining is done at the beginning about this rather novel and unique… Read more

  • Call Me By Your Name

    *Contains spoilers* An excellent film I recently saw was Call Me By Your Name featuring Timothy Chalamet and Armie Hammer as his love interest. The film is a homosexual love story between Chalamet and Hammer. The reason I picked the film was it was free on Amazon Prime and I’d also loved Chalamet in Dune… Read more
