The Student Pages Team -
Written by James Reilly – Student Pages Entertainment Journalist/Film Critic
Film Rating:
★★★★★
This is a very difficult film to review, because this film by its very nature defies all film conventions. There is hardly any dialogue, movement of the camera and the main protagonist has his body covered head-to-toe for the majority of the movie. Also there is a 9-minute single take scene...

On Saturday 12th August Wearsider Presents promoted in the North East of England with encouraging success. Hosted by Sunderland’s own Mark Tyers, the night was set with bright lights scattering colour around the room, the sound was up, loud and ready to set the scene for what turned out to be an...

The much anticipated mini-series brings together Marvel’s Netflix heroes, in an Avengers-esque set up which finds them teaming up against the shadowy ancient supervillain organisation, The Hand. The first episode works mainly to catch-up with characters where we left off, while introducing the threat that will eventually bring them together. Some have...

Spoiler Alert
With Season 7’s shorter episode-run, The Spoils of War marks the season’s half-way point, and does so in such spectacular fashion that many are considering it the best episode of season 7 so far.
The episode opens with witty banter between Bronn and Jaime Lannister, but even this...

If you’re looking for a film to watch on one of those lazy nights in, or something creepy to terrify your friends with, look no further. Recently there has been an outpouring of painfully systematic and repetitive horror films that are lacking surprise and imagination. For a generation brought up on the internet,...
