Boyhood

Filmed over a period of 12 years, Boyhood is the story of a young boy’s family growing up through abusive step parents, money problems and generally the difficulties life presents a family with. When I sat down to watch this, I already knew that it topped many critic’s top ten lists of the year, and […]

Calvary

I, Frankenstein

Set 200 years after the original tale of Frankenstein, the monster (Aaron Eckhart) is still alive and has become caught up in a war between the gargoyles and the demons. And I can safely tell you that this movie is exactly as silly as it sounds. To say that I wasn’t expecting much going into […]
