Robin Hood (2018)
2018 | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
The most recent cinematic take (at the time of writing) of the Robin Hood legend, this is an extremely generic actioner - akin to the recent King Arthur, legend of the sword movie - that attempts to bring the tale to modern audiences.

As such, it touches all the key points - Robin of Locksley, the Crusades, Marian, the sheriff of Nottingham - while also attempting to be more inclusive (John is now a Moor, for example) than that legend.

I'm also not sure about some of the set design or costumes, and Ben Mendehlson (the sheriff) is no Alan Rickman!

Robin!
The first time I saw Dead Poets society in the theatre I was unbelievably amazed at the acting range of Robin Williams. Everyone knew of his impeccable comic timing which is showcased in the film; however, his dramatic performance was jaw-dropping.

He had done dramatic work before, but something about this film brought it all together. The classmates were also very good led by House star Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke.

The ending left me weeping for days and is one of the most emotional movie endings ever.

Not to be missed.

Book Review | Life Drawing by Robin Black
I felt this wasn't the book for me. As the characters/storyline didn't grab me :(
I felt that there should be more and the ending was disappointing. I ain't got much to say about this book really.
