A Hindi-language film inspired by O. Henry’s short story The Last Leaf, Lootera is a masterpiece that has been overlooked for far too long. It stars Bollywood stars Sonakshi Sinha and Ranbir Singh and was critically acclaimed on release. Lootera follows Pakhi (Sonakshi Sinha), the daughter of an important landlord in the small town of

A classic in every conceivable way, 10 Things I Hate About You has remained a mainstay of teen movies. It is based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, and features, for the first time in lead roles, Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. In the off-chance that there is anybody that hasn’t seen this movie, let me summarise
-
The King’s Speech won four Oscars and five BAFTAs, which probably tells you everything you need to know about it. It has a brilliant cast, and is impeccably made in every way, but especially in regards to the soundtrack, cinematography, and of course, its acting. The film starts off at Wembley Stadium where Prince Albert (Colin

Based on the true story of Fred Hampton, Judas and The Black Messiah stars Daniel Kaluuya as Hampton, and LaKeith Stanfield as William “Bill” O’Neal, a double agent working for the FBI. I watched this film by chance, but I’m glad I did – I think it could already easily be one of the best films of

2.5 stars Drama I’m not sure if you remember this movie. It came out during Christmas season and it had that lovely shot of Jennifer Lawrence walking through the snow with her short hair and dark sunglasses all over the adverts and posters. That was my first impression of Joy. Joy is about Joy –

4.5 stars Drama, Romance The Truth About Jane is a movie I thought I had heard about but it was a made-for-tv movie and the imdb page shows only two connections, so i’m not sure if i’m making up memories. Regardless, I’m really glad I did watch it, it’s earnest and honest. It’s 2000’s version

4/5 stars Comedy, Romance The thing about Someone Great is that it is not the best movie ever, and it doesn’t try to be either. It’s a very solid film following a trio of best friends the day after Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) breaks up with her long term boyfriend Nate (LaKeith Stanfield). It’s almost like

Rating 5/5 Animation, Adventure, Comedy The thing about Pixar films is that they always have a very simple plot line. Storks is about (you guessed it) storks and their “upgrade” into a retail company after a mishap with handling babies. This mishap ended in the breaking of the carrier, which has the address info, and

If I was to describe the film in the most sparse way possible, it would in fact be “Four Weddings and a Funeral”. That’s one of the film’s best qualities, it’s direct and doesn’t have a single scene that I didn’t enjoy. I really, really enjoyed this. Romcoms from the 90s hit a different note,

Rating: 5/5 Horror, Mystery, Thriller SPOILERS, Please do not read if you’re avoiding spoilers. I haven’t spoiled everything but there is one major spoiler. SPOILER. Jordan Peele’s directorial debut is excellent. Get Out is a horror/thriller/spoof (slash comedy?? according to the Golden Globes) that follows Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) as he meets his girlfriend’s family for
