Film Reviews by SY

I decided to watch this as it’s one of Quentin Tarantino’s favourite movies. It’s easy to see the influence it’s had on his work. It’s much more sophisticated than I expected. A bizarre mix of both screwball comedy and thriller. The viewer is shown multiple endings, so they never know what’s going to happen next. It’s fair to say this film surprised me and was like nothing I’ve experienced before (screwball or otherwise).

4 STARS

I really like the premise of this film but i found it a bit flat, especially the ending. A good film that I think had potential to be better. 

3.5 STARS

I decided to watch ‘Black Sunday’ after reading it was one of Tim Burton’s favourite films. The trailer really doesn’t do it justice. I assumed its unique selling point was the ‘so bad it’s good’ factor but it turned out to be the suavest horror film I’ve ever seen. I could barely focus on the plot for being completely stunned by the style oozing from every shot. The kind of film you want to watch multiple times.

5 STARS

‘Ball of Fire’ is a slow starter but once it picks up the pace there’s no letting up the madcap shenanigans. I found the old intellectuals to be cringeworthy but this was more than made up for by Sugarpuss and her gangster boyfriend.
