HOW SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY MAKES HAN SOLO A WORSE CHARACTER It is a movie that provides a damaging backstory, worsening the canon in the process.

REVIEW – AD ASTRA
As the final frontier of human exploration, space has been a classic backdrop for a variety of films over the years. From the early days of limited sets to the modern era of CGI, leaving earth has been a popular choice for many directors.

Emphasising an intimate narrative within a massive scale, Ad Astra is an enthralling new release that refreshingly avoids unnecessary spectacle in order to focus its attention on a man’s personal journey.

REVIEW – THE SOUVENIR Action and spectacle: two of the biggest attractors for movie watchers in the modern era. When done right, a blockbuster can be just as effective as any other piece of cinema. The beauty of motion pictures is that many genres and styles are able to co-exist, including those with a much slower pace. Written and directed by Joanna Hogg, The Souvenir is a new release that deliberately takes its time to unfold a beautiful coming of age drama. Continue reading
