HERE’S JOHNNY!

Joni

The Shining (1980) is undoubtably a masterpiece of a movie. Based on Stephen King's dark and twisted 1977 novel, directed by Stanley Kubrick in his prime and with Jack Nicholson at his menacing best, it's a complete thrill-ride, a rush, utterly enthr

OLLY KNIGHTS: THE INTERVIEW

Alix

We here at The Journalix are big fans of Turin Brakes. We're not going to introduce them to you as they've been around since the year 2000, but if you really don't recognise the name I'm sure you'll know their music. Lead singer Olly Knights original

READY PLAYER ONE

Joni

Have you seen it yet? I wasn't in a rush to but events transpired that I ended up seeing it twice within a week. A rare thing these days, but no regrets because it's a romp! Definitely one for a younger audience, albeit not too young - The Shining cr...

DOCUFILM REVIEW: WHITNEY

We were lucky enough to attend a preview of the docufilm 'Whitney' earlier this week. Having heard good things the film opens with the shiny pop of Whitney Houston and exactly how I first knew her. Flashes of the video 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', ...

COMIC BOOK MOVIES LEAGUE TABLE

It's a debate for the ages, one which will never truly be decided, but we're gonna have a stab at doing so in the fairest way possible - which is the best modern day comic book movie? We all know it's The Dark Knight, but how to justify such a thing?...

DELAYED REVIEW: ERIN BROCKOVICH

Joni

Before sitting down to watch Erin Brockovich for the first time (18 years after it's release) I asked my wife if it was going to be a "difficult watch". She knows exactly what I meant by this and most of the time it's simply "will it make me cry?". I...

THE MATRIX: WHAT WENT WRONG?

Joni

What went wrong with The Matrix sequels? First of all, what went right? Well the freeway chase, as long as it is, is fantastic. Very cool idea with the apparating twins too which played out some awesome scenes. As unreal as it felt that you...

THE EIGHTH STORY. NINETEEN YEARS LATER…

Alix

I was a very good boy last year. I was duly rewarded for my good behaviour at Christmas time when I found, at the very bottom of my stocking, Santa Claus had left me a copy of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Part One and Two (released in 2015). Unl

FILM SCENES THAT AFFECTED ME AS A CHILD AND STILL DO

Joni

There are many films that we have shared as an audience but go on to stick with us on a personal level throughout our lives. Something that when you see it parodied, intentionally or unintentionally, you instantly think of the original and you can pr...

PIXAR EASTER EGGS

Joni

One thing we love here at The Journalix is a sense that whatever form of art you are experiencing, there is a level of depth to it. It gives you a feeling that whoever put it together knows what they are doing. It might have been spontaneous in its e...
