2023… It has been a difficult year for me personally, and I welcomed the increase in cinema this year since the pandemic as it was a means of escapism and distraction. But it has also been a difficult year for cinema! The start of the year (in the lead up to award season) saw several…

Films of 2022
We reach the end of 2022, and I just want to thank the 210+ readers WordPress, the 155+ followers on Facebook, and the 70+ on Intagram! You are all great! 2022 felt like a busy year; as if everyone was trying to reclaim lost time over the pandemic. Cinema slowly started back up again as…

While their three heavy hitters this year, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor Ragnarok and Guardians…
