Buried (2010): Quick-shot review!
One of the more claustrophobic films I’ve seen in recent times, Buried (2010, dir. Rodrigo Cortés) will make you feel like you’re trapped in a very small and confined space, not unlike its protagonist. For once, I’m glad that I actually didn’t see something at the cinema, because I expect this would have been sensory […]
Very exciting news! – Winter At Westbeth (2015)
Some old faithful readers here at Film Grimoire may remember that back in late 2014, myself and my partner and our good friend all travelled to New York City in order to make an amazing film, meet some amazing people, and also enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. That is, my partner and […]

Thoughts on… The Craft (1996)
This film is responsible for a generation of girls from the 90s experimenting with witchcraft and forming their own covens in order to levitate each other during sleepover parties. The Craft (1996, dir. Andrew Fleming) is one of those films that is so 1990s that it almost works as a time travelling device back to […]
April 2016 Favourites
April was another quiet month here at Film Grimoire, but I like to think of it as having a nice rest before Game of Thones starts and I type my fingers into oblivion as I rant about the episodes forever and ever. April was a pretty amazing month in terms of not just Game of […]

Jacques Toumeur) is a story of mythology, paranoia, and repressed sexuality, starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, and Jane Randolph.

Falling In Love with Steven Universe
Lately I’ve been suffering from some pretty hardcore migraines and headaches, and I’ve been finding it difficult to get into too many films where I have to pay attention for more than a short amount of time. Luckily, a most lovely friend of mine provided me with the best thing ever to watch when feeling […]
Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 1: “The Red Woman”
Season six of Game of Thrones has finally arrived! I spent a good chunk of my public holiday weekend binge-watching season five and crying with a mixture of excitement and apprehension about season six. Whilst watching season five, I noted that there were quite a number of lows (for me, personally) in comparison to a […]
Getting Ready for Game of Thrones Season Six
I know I’m not the only person who is super duper psyched for season six of Game of Thrones. I’m gearing up for a lot of ranting and raving and reviewing and recapping for this season. As we all know, the show is now heading into the shadowy territory outside of the book series – […]
