When Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney in 2012 and announced there were new Star Wars films coming, it’s safe to say that I was excited. I was finally going to get new Star Wars films, something I thought was over when Episode III was released in 2005. Continue reading

Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983)
Ben
The last movie in the first Star Wars trilogy gets a bad rap in my opinion. People complain about Ewoks, just as they did about Jar Jar Binks, and while they are annoying, they don’t detract from the good aspects of this film to make it terrible. Continue reading
Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Ben
When I think about The Empire Strikes Back, the most common thought that enters my head is how this is the best movie from the best movie series of all time. There’s so much more to it than that, but that statement alone should give you an idea where this review is heading. Continue reading
Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)
Ben
So I think it is pretty much assured that this movie is going to get an A+from me. It’s not my favourite film in the series (that is coming up next), but it is still one of the finest world building films of all time.

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Ben
People may bicker over the perceived issues with Episode I and II, but I think generally, most people agree that Episode III is easily the high point of the prequel trilogy. People are right. Of all the prequels, Revenge of the Sith is the one that feels the most like a Star Wars film and also manages to bridge the gap between the prequels and the original trilogy. Continue reading
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999)
Ben
I don’t even know how to start writing this review. Star Wars is my favourite series of films ever made– yes even including these prequels– so I’m quite concerned I won’t be able to do them justice. But I’ll try, so here goes. Continue reading
National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)
Sally
National Lampoon’s Vacation is a comedy classic. I always remembered it being great, but it wasn’t until re-watching it this year that I really started to appreciate it. Continue reading
Deadpool (2016)
Sally
Deadpool is the franchise starter Ryan Reynolds deserves. After making rom-coms, mediocre comedies, and one truly terrible superhero movie, Reynolds has finally landed the role he was born to play. Even better, the movie studio gods see fit to make this an R-rated romp. Continue reading
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)
Sally
I never knew I needed to see Colin Firth as a dapper yet kickass spy. But now that I’ve seen Kingsman, I wonder why he’s wasting so much time making romantic comedies. Continue reading
Chef (2014)
IMDbSally
I’ve got two words for you: food porn. Chef is a great movie, but it will set your stomach rumbling almost immediately. There are entire segments where you are just watching amazing looking food be prepared. I’m drooling just thinking about the grilled cheese sandwich scene… Continue reading
