February 2018 Favourites
Happy March everyone! I hope everyone had an excellent February. As always, it does seem like time is flying during these first few months of the year. It feels like it’s going to be Oscars time any day now, and that’s because it is! Approximately tomorrow, in Australian terms. Whilst I have my hopes for […]
Two New Releases I Enjoyed: I, Tonya (2017) & Lady Bird (2017)
I’ve been seeing a bunch of films at the cinema lately, perhaps making up for a 2016 where I barely visited. There have been a lot of quality films released recently, and it’s no coincidence that it’s Oscars season. I recently saw I, Tonya (2017) and Lady Bird (2017) – two films with extremely strong […]
Two New Releases: Arrival (2016); Hidden Figures (2016).
Despite my sluggish rate of posting film reviews recently due to insane work life and trying to find some time to sleep, I actually did find the time to watch two new films at the cinema recently – two Oscar-nominated films, no less.

February 2016 Favourites

TGIF, sweet readers! I tell you what, MLK Day off or no, it’s been a long one. I hope you guys have had a less crazy week than I have! One constant that I have been all too happy to devote some attention to these last few weeks is…
“Is it worth paying for a ticket?”: Whiplash (2014)
This film is receiving quite a lot of Oscars buzz, and rightly so. Directed by Damien Gizelle, Whiplash (2014) is a fast paced example of the perfect cinematic mix between excitement and frustration. Whiplash tells the story of Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller), who has dreams of becoming the best drummer in the world. One day […]
Film Grimoire’s Oscar Takeover
Oscars season has finally rolled around, and it’s time for the films and actors most worthy of praise to receive it in the form of a resplendent golden trophy. Here are my picks for the 2014 Oscars. These are my personal favourites, not predictions of what I think will win, because those would look very […]
