This year has flown by. Genuinely cannot think of a faster year for me. 2023 wasn’t just packed with movies again, with theatres recovering from the pandemic enough to be open, but also games! It should be said that both industries have been hit very badly during 2023, however… The game’s industry suffering record amounts…

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…
Films of 2021
With the start of this year being as difficult as last year, I think everyone saw some hope when Autumn came around. Cinemas reopened, restrictions under lockdown were tentatively lifted, and we got to see some movies again in the place they should be seen: the big screen. With the UK getting hit hard by…
Banter: James Bond themes Ranked
Now firstly, I am no expert in music theory, and I don’t have an ear for picking up on talented performances in music. But I do love the Bond themes, and I have immense respect for the franchise maintaining this tradition in each and every film. In some ways, I look as forward to the…
Banter: Star Wars – Ranked
Since “Skywalker Saga” has officially ended, and the franchise-to-end-all-franchises has met a sort of impasse, it seems right to rank the current theatrical released films. That is to say, we won’t be including the animated Clone Wars movie, or the two Ewok movies from the 1980s. Personal feelings definitely enter into construction of this list,…
Best and Worst of 2019
We are here again. Seemingly so soon, too. I remember having great enthusiasm for this year, or certainly compared to 2018’s film roster, but now that we have reached the end of 2019 it is sad to admit that there have been a lot of disappointment in the last twelve months. Of course, like all…
Banter: The MCU 22 – Ranked
Everyone is giving a final rating of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies as they stand after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Which is a fair assessment to make; there was a definite end to the MCU as we know it, and a total shift of personalities and motivations lie ahead of the franchise now. Admittedly,…
Best and Worst of 2018
Even before this year began, I had my doubts about the film line up. There were a lot of franchises I didn’t care about, a lot of unknowns, and a lot of straight up bad films. This year has been quite intense for me personally also, which didn’t make things any easier for Cinema Cocoa….
Best and Worst of 2017
2017 has proven to be a critically successful year, but in terms of genre films it has given some pretty divisive experiences. Personally, this is the first year that Disney / Marvel Studios has failed to deliver a Top 10 worthy experience. While their three heavy hitters this year, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor Ragnarok and Guardians…
Best and Worst of 2016
2016 has been a brutal year for several reasons, a lot of people will agree that the year has taken its toll on culture, politics and even film. A lot of people will agree that they are happy to see the back of it! In terms of films, I was disappointed in 2016’s movies. Looking…
