Feature: 25 (Mostly) Forgotten Family Films
With schools in Scotland already beginning to break up for the summer holidays, we’ve decided to take a look back at some of those forgotten family films that we grew up with that have more or less been forgotten for one reason or another. Film franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Marvel Cinematic …
Revisited: The Fast and the Furious
As The Fast Saga gears up for the release of F9, we decided to take a look back at the film that started it all all the way back in 2001. Released in September 2001 here in the UK, The Fast and the Furious seemingly took the world by storm from the outset with it’s …
Review: Nobody
Directed by Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) and written by Derek Kolstad (John Wick), Nobody tells the story of a mild mannered family man with a mysterious past who becomes the target some pretty nasty Russians after an incident on a bus.

Blog: A Return to the Cinema Experience
The last time I set foot in a cinema before the first lockdown was when I went to see The Rhythm Section at the end of January 2020. I enjoyed the film a lot more than most but it didn’t last long on the big screen before being ushered out to make room for whatever …

Review: Cruella
With the exception of Beauty and the Beast, I’ve not been a huge fan of Disney’s live action remakes however I do appreciate a film such as Maleficent which aims to put a new spin on a familiar character in a fun and interesting and this something that Cruella has done well. Cruella has one …
Review: Army of the Dead
Army of the Dead is perhaps one of my most anticipated films of the year so far. All I was really after from this film was fun action adventure film with plenty of blood, guts and zombies and it delivered exactly what I wanted. Directed by Zack Snyder, Army of the Dead stars Dave Bautista …
Review: Those Who Wish Me Dead
Those Who Wish Me Dead sees Angelina Jolie take the lead in this adaption of Michael Koryta’s 2014 novel of the same name but unfortunately as is the case with many page to screen adaptions, it fails to stick the landing and just ends up being another throwaway film that nobody is going to remember …
