Horror movies are the one genre that I approach with trepidation as I’m scared of jumps and things that go bump in the night. Micheal B Jordan, who stars in both lead roles as identical twins, stated in a recent interview that he doesn’t like watching them either, so I began this film watching through…
This was the first film that I watched at the Manchester Film Festival. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but I am glad I tried something new as this heartwarming tale left me pleasantly surprised and even quite moved. It’s a good example of if you make the effort to watch…
This film surprised me a lot, as you wouldn’t expect a comedic film to work with the main theme being PTSD, a mysterious communication with a dead army friend and a fractious relationship with a grandfather. It shouldn’t hold together, but in fact it works like a charm. Merit is a US veteran who learns…
“I have low tolerance for people who bitch, but if you make an effort, I can teach you the rest.” This is what Officer Harmon (Troian Bellisario) says to her rookie on his first day on the job as a patrol officer on the streets on LA. This Amazon Prime TV Show doesn’t waste any…
This was the penultimate movie I watched at Manchester Film Festival; I didn’t really know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. It’s a worthy addition to a great roster of movies that were on show for the week. Persian/Indian Director Sasha Nathwani has mostly made his name making short films, and his first feature,…

For all the people who love a period drama and likes a show that is based on true events just like me, Miss Austen could become a BBC classic. It is an adaptation of Gill Hornby’s 2020 best-selling book of the same name. It might be better than Bridgerton because it just feels more authentic….
Imagine this, the police have just knocked down your door and bursts into your house and your 13-year-old child gets arrested as he has been accused of murdering his classmate Katie the night before. This is the harrowing story of Jamie Miller. The first two episodes immerse us in the procedural details, both detectives DI…
Going to Glasgow film Festival has been an unbelievable experience. For someone who hasn’t been to a red carpet or festival before everyone was really welcoming and very helpful. The first film that I watched was REINAS and here is my review of it. REINAS (QUEENS) – I have never been a huge fan of…
“We will not be Silent”. ” Stand Up and Resist”. “Truth, Freedom and Honour”. These words are the bedrock of this morality tale that is also a true story of speaking truth to power. I didn’t know the true story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, but it can’t be repeated enough so that…
