There are some films that just feel like a warm hug movies that, no matter how many times you watch them, always bring a sense of joy, nostalgia, or comfort. Here are six of my absolute favourite comfort films that I never get tired of watching. 1. The Parent Trap (1998) This gem is one…

TAYLOR SWIFT SILENCE IS DEAFENING IN BLAKE LIVELY COURT CASE
Its Friday so it’s time to focus on a Hollywood feud that shows no sign of slowing down. A week ago, it looked that Just Baldoni was on the back foot after Judge Liman had dismissed his counter defamation case against Blake after Lively’s file against him for sexual harassment and character assassination during the…
WHY PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) IS THE BEST ADAPTATION
It’s been nearly 20 years since Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was released, and it remains, in my opinion, the best version of Jane’s Austen’s beloved novel. Wright, an exceptional director known for films like Atonement, Hanna and the Darkest Hour, brought a fresh and cinematic approach to Austen’s world while staying…
THE WILD ROBOT: A HUMAN HEART IN A ROBOT CREATED TO SERVE
I know I am behind on this brilliant Oscar nominated animation, but this might be my favourite cartoon movie of all time. The Wild Robot is written and directed by Chris Sanders. (Lilo and Stitch, Croods and How to Train Your Dragon). It is an outstanding story, that is sentimental and moving without being schmaltzy. …
WHITE MAN WALKING: A HIKE THROUGH A DIVIDED AMERICA
“I could die today. Technically. I feel sick.” These words by white independent film-maker Rob Bliss summed up the danger around him when he decided to walk through America’s most racist states wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt in memory of the 5th Anniversary of the murder of George Floyd by a police officer. This Storyville documentary…
LILO AND STITCH A WELCOME REVISIT TO A DISNEY CLASSIC (AND HAWAII)
I just love the quote “Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” This sums up the sentiment and driving force behind this heartfelt remake of the original cartoon featuring a lonely young girl and an outcast alien. Lilo and stitch isn’t as bad as everyone says. The original came out when…
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: INDIANA JONES MEETS NATIONAL TREASURE
Director Guy Ritchie has made an entertaining action-packed film out now on Apple TV Plus. John Krasinski plays Luke Purdue who is an adventurer and son of an archaeologist now deceased. Luke and his dad’s old team are on an adventure to try and find the mythical Fountain of Youth. To try and find the…
MY FAVOURITE DISNEY CHANNEL MOVIES
Disney Channel defined my childhood viewing. Watching it was part of my formative years, where I would get back from school and put it straight on. Either you were a Disney kid or a Nickelodeon Kid. I was in the Disney camp, but I did watch a few Nickelodeons shows like ICarly and Victorious. Which…
MY THOUGHTS ON THE JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH TRAILER
Survival is a long shot. That’s kind of our speciality. These lines depict the whole of the franchise. Get ready for new dinosaurs and new characters in this new era of Jurassic World. This film looks action packed, the special effects look unreal, and the cast doesn’t look out of place. It is anchored by…
THUNDERBOLTS: HIT ME LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE
It’s safe to say that I am not really a super fan of superhero movies. I struggle to tell the difference between Marvel or DC franchises and the interlinked storylines leave me scratching my head in confusion. THUNDERBOLTS was a great surprise as I loved the characters, action and heart that made this film rise…
