25 November 2016Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - 'a bit like X-Men's Xavier Institute'
View ReviewWe had the Twilight Saga. We had The Hunger Games. We even had Divergent and The Maze Runner. Now, to add to the list of YA (young adult) book-to-screen adaptations is (drum roll please)… Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, based on Ransom Riggs' novel of the same title and directed by Tim Burton, who's known for his gothic, dark movies and adds something fresh to the YA market – it can also be seen to be influenced by various other movies, while largely following the original novel.

23 November 2016The Maze Runner: 'simplistic, yet effective'
View ReviewIf there was one film that I considered (and still consider) to be unique in plot and setting, it would be The Maze Runner – a 2014 film based on the young adult (YA) dystopia book of the same name by James Dashner, and another YA film in the long line of book-to-film adaptations. I have found that it is similar to the likes of The Hunger Games and the ending comparable to that of The Divergent Series: Insurgent.

BlacKkKlansman by Oluwatayo AdewoleI watched this film and found it humourous in parts, yet also very perceptive and interesting in regard to the era and its relevance to today's world and the 'Age of Trump'.

I think that he has done well for a first-time director and I could imagine him working behind the camera in the future, however I would still like to see him working in front of it.
