    Another Earth

    So, this is my favourite film but I don't think I've properly gone into why I love it so much. Because of this, I decided to rewatch it tonight and try to do a good enough review that explains why this is such an amazing film.

    On the eve of a discover of an Earth-like planet, Rhoda (Brit Marling) is out celebrating when she drunkenly crashes her car and kills two people. Four years later, Rhoda leaves prison and cross…

    Day 20 of JDsSpookypalooza2022 and the film today is Halloween Ends. I’ve found this latest trilogy of Halloween films to be a mixed bag as I enjoyed the first one a lot but found the second to be filler. While the reviews to this have certainly been mixed to negative, I was keeping an open mind because the trailers look pretty solid, and I was excited to see how it would end.

    The film takes place a few years after…

    Tomorrow Never Dies

    ★★★

    My quest to log the Bond film on here continues with 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies. I can’t remember seeing this one all the way through, but I do remember seeing parts of it when I was younger so was excited to see it fully.

    The eighteenth film in the Bond franchise follows James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) as he uncovers a media mogul’s (Jonathan Pryce) plan to initiate World War Three.

    Tomorrow Never Dies has a lot of good elements to…

    My quest to log all the Bond films on here continues with 1981’s For Your Eyes Only. I’ve heard some decent things about this film, so I was very excited to check it out.

    The twelfth film in the Bond franchise follows James Bond (Roger Moore) as he teams up with a woman seeking revenge for the death of her parents to locate a missile command system.

    While a bit slow and predictable, For Your Eyes Only is a fun…

    Spider-Man: No Way Home

    ★★★★½

    SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

    The film follows Peter Parker (Tom Holland) as he turns to fellow Avenger Dr Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to erase his Spider-Man identity from everyone's mind but in doing so unleashes new and more deadly foes from other universes.

    No Way Home is up there as one of the best and most satisfying standalone MCU films. The writing, though a bit slow towards the end, is fantastic and utterly enthralling. It hits all the story beats…
