One Battle After Another is a politically driven Dark Comedy/ Action film, directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson and written by Thomas Pynchon. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob, a former member of a revolutionary group who gets dragged back into the fold 16 years later by a former enemy re-emerging.
Going into this film I didn’t really know what to expect, the extent of my knowledge was of Leonardo DiCaprio being the lead actor.
The best way I can describe this film is that it is an experience. I can’t say that it’s for everyone, but it’s worth experiencing at least once even if you never watch it again.
I can appreciate the amount of effort, talent and overall love that had been poured into this film, from the unique camera movements, to the environments, and the top notch acting from the cast.
While my eyes were glued to the screen and were thoroughly absorbing everything, I must admit that for a good chunk of the film… I didn’t have the foggiest clue of what was going on nor why? This film makes you think and interpret many of the different scenes how you want to. It lets you come to your own conclusions on what to take away from it and what message you want from the movie. As for me… yeah I don’t think this film was targeted towards my demographic and that’s okay. But for those who are the target audience, you’re very likely in for a cinematic treat.

It’s clearly Awards season. This is every inch the Oscar/BAFTA style film that’s always nominated and wins. There are some incredible solo performances from the actors in this incredibly intense political/action drama. There will be a lot of talk around this movie over the coming months!!!

The Long Walk is a horror film based on the Stephen King novel, directed by Francis Lawrence and written by JT Mollner and Stephen King. Set in a dystopian future where America falls into a police state, with only one way to escape poverty being to sign up for a contest to win whatever they choose. The main aim of the contest being to walk until you’re the last man standing, 3 strikes you’re out. You’ll be following Raymond Garraty (played by Cooper Hoffman) as he navigates the long walk, spearheaded by the host of the competition “The Major” (played by Mark Hamill).
It’s been a while since I’ve watched a Stephen King film and oh boy this one doesn’t disappoint, my eyes were completely glued to the screen from start to finish. This film really tugs on your heartstrings as you watch the events unfold, even though you know that only one can win, it still is able to make you get attached to the contestants as they all hold out hope for winning. The impact of each death is felt by the cast and is also past along to you the viewer, director Lawrence knew exactly what to do with the script and ran with it.
The genre of Horror perfectly describes this film and it doesn’t disappoint, from start to end you’ll be hooked and on the edge of your seat. Whether you’re a fan of Stephen King’s works, just getting started, or looking for a great horror, don’t miss this film!

Don’t be put off by Con’s 3.5 star review. This is a solid and highly satisfying finale to The Conjuring movie series. If you’re a huge fan of these films, you’ll love every moment of this latest adventure. You’ve seen it all before as they are very formulaic in their style – but it’s a great farewell to the Warren family. Highly Recommended!!!
