4.5/5 Stars

The rise of sky walker and the return to a best for the last piece of the saga. This film is a fantastic fan service and fitting end to the skywalker series of films.

From epic battles, moments of sheer force inducing goosebumps and comedy gold from C3PO. The opening 20 minutes of this chapter was a “don’t worry guys we got you” from director J.J Abrahams. Returning the magic of star wars to the forefront of nostalgic memory.

By Film Club

Release Date: 27th November

5/5 Stars

I was really looking forward to this film what with it’s famous cast including Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis , Toni Colette and Chris Evans and especially as it opened to rave reviews prior to my going to see it.

Frozen II (U)

By Film Club

What made Frozen so endearing to many audiences is the strong bond between Anna and Elsa and the themes of unconditional sisterhood and love that relationship delivered.

Midway (12A)

By Film Club

Release Date: 8th November 2019

3/5 Stars

Midway is the non-fiction story of the initial USA and Japanese conflict of WW2, and it being the anniversary of Armistice makes the movie even more impactive. However as the film has been released post the summer boom and having come across minimal marketing I fear it may not be well seen by audiences at the cinema. This would be a real shame as the film’s conflict scenes are visually amazing. Read More

Terminator: Dark Fate (15)

By Film Club

Release Date 23rd October 2019

2/5 Stars

After all the hype about Terminator: Dark Fate being a direct sequel to Terminator 2 (thereby disregarding all the other franchise outings) I went in blind. (I had not seen any trailers and didn’t know the plot at all) Also having not watched the others since T2 was back in cinemas a couple of years ago, I felt cautiously optimistic. It seemed like a bit of a cash grab idea but I’m always up for seeing Linda Hamilton being a badass and you can never go wrong with Arnie! Read More
