HOW COME, CHIEF WILLOUGHBY?

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Three Billboards is the new highly reviewed black comedy crime thriller that has come into view especially after its recent wins at the golden globes. It follows the mother ,Mildred Hayes played by Frances Mcdormand, of a murdered girl who rents 3 billboards in order to express her distaste at how little the police are doing for her daughter's case. Setting: Although the time period is never specifically stated it would appear that Three Billboards takes place in the modern day due to some of the technology seen. However all the modern technology is only ever seen out of focus or in the background. I believe that this was done very deliberately because despite the film being set in the modern day it would be very easy for an unobservant viewer to think the film is set in the 1980s or 90s. This is down to the fact that the film takes place in Missouri which is in the middle of the USA which is an area known for not ch...

Weekly Film - Black Panther

Black Panther So I went to see Black Panther after weeks of seemingly being the only one who didn't flock to cinemas on the day of release to see it. The hype around this film was massive ,and is something I'll go into far more detail about later, however from the trailers I didn't see anything particularly outstanding at least as far as the film itself goes however seemingly this goes far deeper than just the film itself. What I will say is that I'm glad I didn't give in to the hype as I'm sure I would've been disappointed. At its core Black Panther is just another Marvel comic book film.

It also has plenty of cliches such as one scene which has Martin Freeman trying to take out fighter jets using a remote control while a fighter is breaking through the window. This scene is basically a countdown scene which i...

Breathe

Breathe Director - Andy Curtis. Producer - Jonathan Cavendish After seeing breathe at the BFI it was clear that the emotional content of the film moved the audience. This captivating true story really captures the experience of being confined in body but not in mind. Andy Curtis has done an amazing job at bringing this story to life alongside Jonathan Cavendish who is not only the producer but also the son of Robin Cavendish whom the film is about. The film follows Robin Cavendish who is crippled from polio and given only 3 months to live. However he goes on to live another 20 years. Not only does he survive but is determined to live a full life and to bring freedom to those who have his condition. Determination brings him out of depression and out of the hospital wards as he invents a chair to allow him to move with his respirator. There is a real sense that this film was created in a well informed manner with not only first hand accounts but also with the help of t...
