Film Review | The Crimes Of Grindelwald

The Crimes Of Grindelwald is directed by David Yates and stars Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp and Jude Law.

Fantasy, Adventure. Released 2018.

In the second chapter to J.K. Rowling's expansion to the Wizarding World beyond Harry Potter, Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) is on the rise and Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists the help of his ex-Hogwarts Student Newt Scammander (Eddie Redmayne).

I enjoyed the first entry into this franchise and was hugely looking forward to seeing Johnny Depp's portrayal of Grindelwald; a name very recognisable to long-term fans of Harry Potter, but someone who we have never met apart from seeing him in flashbacks. Because of the emphasis on this character, it seemed like a much darker entry.

Film Review | Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody is directed by Bryan Singer and stars Rami Malek.

Drama, Music, Biography. Released 2018.

Bohemian Rhapsody tells the story of the legendary icon and front-man of Queen,  Freddie Mercury.

Due to the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding this film prior to its release, having not seen Rami Malek in Mr. Robot and the initial mixed reactions, I did not know what to expect from Bohemian Rhapsody - except a load of Queen music and performances.

However, I am happy to report that this lack of expectation meant that Bohemian Rhapsody exceeded anything I had been expecting, with me leaving incredibly inspired.
