Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Allison Rose | Nov 15, 2018

While the magical aspects and visuals are appealing, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is clunky and awkward. Fans of the Potter Universe will no doubt go to see it but shouldn’t expect it to be as inviting as the first film.

A Private War

A Private War is haunting but does the life of Marie Colvin justice. It couldn’t have been easy but it was an important life and the film pays homage to the brilliant woman behind the faces of wars and conflicts all over the world.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Alyn Darnay | Oct 25, 2018

When Bohemian Rhapsody ended, which I didn’t want to happen, I wanted to stay and see it again! It’s a great Bio-pic, you’ll enjoy it. Can you say “We Will, We Will, Rock You!”
