Do you like horrors? How about Stephen King? Or even Ewan McGregor? If any or all of the former applies to you then you are in for a treat with Doctor Sleep. Serving as a sequel to The Shining from 1980, we pick up several decades after the events of the first film with Danny Torrance (McGregor) still dealing with the traumatic events of his childhood – who could ever forget an axe-wielding Jack Nicholson, to be fair?
Kill Bill: Vol. 1

Uma Thurman’s iconic portrayal as the merciless Bride is as gloriously violent as you’d want from Quentin Tarantino. After a brutal team of assassins and their leader, Bill, attempt to kill our protagonist and her unborn child, she journeys on a perilous mission of revenge. In the first part, we journey to Tokyo where a bloody battle between Lucy Liu’s O-Ren Ishii and the Yakuza takes place.

At less than two hours long, the action is relentless from start to finish. Couple that with a dynamite soundtrack (Battle Without Honor or Humanity still rocks to this day), stylish cuts and wonderfully homages to samurai and grindhouse cinema and Kill Bill is still as entertaining to watch as when it premiered.
Kill Bill: Vol 2 can be found on Sky Go or Now TV, however, we expect it to arrive on Netflix at some point in future.
Blade Runner 2049

Criminally underperforming at the box office, the scope, audio design, cinematography and visual effects are on another level altogether – the latter two of which took home the Oscar at the 90th Academy Awards. If there’s one criticism it would be the pacing at 163-minutes long, yet Blade Runner 2049 is still ambitiously rich and offers an unforgettable score that has stayed with me almost five years on.
