I have created my own film magazine! Over the last few months I have been writing, designing and creating Scenes for my final university project and it is finally here.
If you could take the time out to read it, that would be much appreciated.

Pixar finally having a big change to their animation style, I used to pray for times like this.

First teaser for Pixar's new original film ‘GATTO’.
The film follows a black cat in Venice with a love of music who is shunned by locals due to superstitions.
In theaters on March 5, 2027.

I feel as though we have set an inconsistent precedent with Amy Madigan winning the Oscar this year because Inde Navarrette in Obsession is better in nearly every conceivable way, but won’t even get a look in. I think we may have set the bar a little low.

Surely The Sheep Detectives isn’t that good? I keep going to watch it but I can’t bring myself to do it. Is it actually as good as they say it is or am I falling for the sheep propaganda?

It may have been 20 years since the Devil last slipped on a pair of Prada heels, but they still fit a charm. In an age where journalism values clicks more than quality, The Devil Wears Prada 2 does the opposite and improves on what made the original so great.

I’m currently writing an article about the best independent cinemas across the UK, and need recommendations.
What are people’s favourites that they believe deserve a mention in the article? Please let me know x

Michael isn’t as bad as other musical biopics, but its reluctance to dare to be great stops it from reaching the heights that Michael Jackson reached musically.

I liked Longlegs, but who needed more of it? This, along with the Aunt Gladys prequel, just feels like studios taking the wrong lessons from successful films yet again.

A new 'Longlegs' movie is in the works
• Nicolas Cage will reprise his role
• It's not a sequel but is set in the universe

The Super Mario Galaxy movie isn’t quite as bad as AI, but it’s nothing more than endless references and action scenes made to appease the new TikTok generation of movie goers.

I went to the BFI IMAX for the first time today to rewatch Project Hail Mary and man, how am I supposed to go back to my normal cinemas after that? I’m so jealous of the people who can just go there whenever. What an experience. Amaze, amaze, amaze.

Why are we persisting with live action remakes? They are terrible. They are an insult to the hard work and great animated films they are adapting. What is the point of remaking an animated film scene for scene just for it to look infinitely worse? I beg we stop.

The new trailer for the live-action ‘MOANA’ remake has been released.
