Roma has proved to be the surprise hit film of the current award season. It has received an amazing 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Director, Actress and Supporting Actress. However, it has also been the most divisive of this year’s major films. For example, it received only 3 nominations at the Golden Globes (winning Best Director and Foreign Language Film) but had a healthier 7 nominations at the BAFTAs (at which it won Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography)....

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS (2018): Review

pictureperfectreviewsFebruary 20, 2019

Each of the short stories are set in the ‘Wild West’, as a series of cautionary tales. Each story, in its own way, uses the backdrop of the Wild West to each portray a different dangerous and aspect of living in that time, that is so often glamorised in old black and white cowboy films. Death, in its many forms and guises, also forms an integral part of each vignette along with the Cohen’s famous black sense of humour. ... Read More...

pictureperfectreviewsMarch 6, 2018

It's the film that's been on everyone's lips since it was first announced by Marvel back in October 2014, and the success of the film's release hasn't done anything to slow it's popularity. Six must be a lucky number for Black Panther because after six weeks it has grossed more than six times its original budget of $200 million worldwide. Currently standing at a worldwide total of $1,237,316,236, Black Panther has domestically outgrossed the previous Marvel heavy-hitter The Avengers (2012), making it the best performing Marvel film ever. ...
