‘My Creative Ramblings’ Top 5 Films of 2014

Tom and Jack’s Top 5 Films of 2014 Tom’s Picks 5. X Men: Days of Future Past X-Men: Days of Future Past was definitely the best superhero film of last year, and that’s saying a lot considering Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy also came out in 2014. But for me, X-Men was the best. Not only was […]

Birdman (2015) Review

Birdman (2015) Review Where have you been Michael Keaton? The last thing I saw him in was Need for Speed and then all of a sudden he’s in Birdman giving the best performance of his career. Birdman tells the story of Riggan Thomson, a washed up, mentally unstable movie star who used to be famous […]

‘Only You’ – A Short Film

“All I needed was the love you gave.” In between writing reviews for this blog and studying at University, I and Jack like to make short films. They aren’t made with a budget of any sort and are more a bit of fun than anything else. They’re not to be taken seriously, and they’re very low […]

Interstellar (2014) A Not Too Spoilery Review

“We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars, now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.” Let’s get this out of the way first. I’m part of the minority of people who think that Christopher Nolan is ever so slightly overrated. Yeah The Dark […]

Doctor Who ‘Dark Water’ Review

“Do you really think that I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?” Doctor Who finales have a lot to live up to. While some recent ones have been a little disappointing, they’re usually some of the best parts of the series; series’ 2’s and series’ 3’s are particular highlights. This […]

100 Words or Less – Predator 2

Title – Predator 2 Released – 1990 Director – Stephen Hopkins Starring – Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Bill Paxton, Maria Conchita Alonso, Ruben Blades Review – After the brilliant and highly regarded Predator, it was always going to be difficult to make a follow up film. And while Predator 2 does fail in some respects, it is mostly very successful. The film follows a group […]

Doctor Who ‘Flatline’ Review

“I am The Doctor and you are the Boneless!” These is getting embarrassing now. Every time it comes to me writing up the review for the latest episode of Doctor Who it seems to be one of the best episodes of the season. Apart from perhaps Kill The Moon and The Robot of Sherwood every episode of this series […]

Doctor Who ‘Kill The Moon’ Review

“I’ll smack you so hard you’ll regenerate!” Like Listen before it, Kill the Moon is certainly a love it or hate it kind of episode. In fact that’s the overall feeling of the series a whole – it’s the Marmite season. While I have enjoyed every episode of the series so far, I know people that have hated them […]

Doctor Who ‘Time Heist’ Review

“What do you think of the new look? I was going for minimalism but I think it came out magician.” Wow, Doctor is really on a winning streak lately. After the awesome first two episodes, the lesser but still good third episode and the brilliant fourth episode, the fifth episode; Time Heist, was perhaps the best yet. […]

100 Words or Less – Lord of War

Title – Lord of War Released – 2005 Director – Andrew Niccol Starring – Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, Ian Holm Review – Lord of War follows arms dealer Yuri Orlov from the beginning of his career running guns throughout his life. The always amazing Nicolas Cage plays Orlov, a not-so-evil man doing an evil job. As he wrestles with his […]
