There are some iconic Christmas movies. In fact, I wrote a whole article on the ten best Christmas movies (although this list needs to be updated). However, one of the factors that can lead to the success or failure of a Christmas movie, is the representation of Santa. Being such an iconic character, it is integral for a...
Nothing will ever compare to the feeling of seeing a live concert or musical. But the last few years have seen plenty of people try.
Before I even get started, you're probably thinking: 'Tristan, aren't you a movie critic?' No, I am not a movie critic; I see myself as a movie reviewer. Now you may be thinking: 'Tristan, what's the difference?' Well, I'm not sure if I can give a clear answer but hopefully, this article will help differentiate the two and show you...
Last year on Star Wars Day, I released a list ranking every Star Wars movie. For this year's Star Wars Day (the day which I like to call "Nerds Come Out Of Their Shells To Say 'May The Fourth Be With You' Day"), I thought it would be sensible to release a list ranking every Star Wars tv...
Every second YouTube suggestion is of a famous YouTuber testing out whether ChatGPT can replace their job and most ads on social media are of some new AI-based app. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and see if AI could write reviews for me. I thought I'd get the new technology to write me a review of...
I have a special leather black notebook which I take with me whenever I go to see a movie. During the movie, I take notes which I then turn into a full-length review after the movie. Within the first five minutes of the movie, I have usually taken half a page worth of notes which will be the majority of...
Earlier this year, the Star Wars tv show The Book of Boba Fett was released (read my thoughts here). A couple of months after that show, a highly-anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off show was also released. The first three episodes of the origin story of Rogue One character Cassian Andor are currently available for streaming on Disney+ with the...
Over the past two weeks, I have been releasing many articles and reviews about Jurassic Park. If it hasn't already become obvious, I love Jurassic Park. In fact, Jurassic Park is my all-time favourite movie. I have seen the movie at least ten times. But if you know me, then you also know that I love Star Wars...
One of my favourite parts about the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies are their opening scenes. Ever since the famous opening scene of the original Jurassic Park, Jurassic opening scenes have always been great at building suspense and introducing a plot. And a lot of the time, these short scenes are the best scenes of the...
For many years, Jurassic Park has been one of my favourite movie franchises, just tailing Star Wars. I love all of the movies of the Jurassic Park franchise but nothing can beat the original movie. I have probably watched the movie at least five times. However, upon a recent viewing, I noticed something different: the sounds.
This article was released on Star Wars Day. So if you are reading this article on the day that it was released, May The Fourth Be With You! If you are reading it at a later date, you can still enjoy this article.
Most of my favourite movies or movie franchises have one thing in common: the score is composed by John Williams. John Williams, for those who aren't aware, is an incredible composer who wrote many of the most iconic movie scores in history. Today (the 8th of February, 2022) is Williams' 90th birthday! In celebration of this memorable day, I...
It's the first of December! I say that you are not allowed to listen to Christmas music, put up Christmas decorations or do anything to do with Christmas any earlier than the first of December. This makes the time feel more special. For as long as I can remember, we have had a large collection of Christmas DVDs that we...
I recently released a review on the movie Free Guy. The movie didn't get a very good review from me (read it here) however I saw this movie with my family at the drive-ins and it got me thinking: what can you do to make the drive-in movies a unique experience from the cinema? So in today's...
I recently rewatched the film, Apollo 13. Apollo 13 is an incredible movie with one of the largest stars in Hollywood: Tom Hanks. Almost every movie that Hanks stars in turns out to be a success. His acting alone can often easily earn the movies he is in an Oscar nomination. All of Tom Hanks' characters are...
Easter is not far away! Although it feels like we've had hot cross buns in the supermarket since Boxing Day (which we have!), Easter Friday is only a week and half away! When we think of Easter, we often think of chocolate, Easter bunnies, and Spring. We don't often think of many good movies about Easter. But there are...
I'm not a big sports person. I don't play a lot of sports, I don't watch a lot of sports. In saying this, I do enjoy the sports game which happens on the first Sunday of February each year. I am of course referring to the American NFL game called the Super Bowl. And I'm not going to be talking...
The last year has seen many things shut down: restaurants, cafes, schools, churches. As many countries are starting to make their way out of lockdown, these venues are starting to open again. One of the most annoying places to shut down for me personally, were cinemas. I was able to make do with many DVDs and a Disney+ subscription but...
