There are films that can be considered masterpieces and then there's this one… No, it's not Stop of My Mom Will Shoot or Howard the Duck but if you guessed those films you would be close😁 The Shawshank Redemption is a film that has not only offered the best bromance ever but a film that deals with issues that are relatable today and tomorrow. Hope. That's the key word. Join Ciaran and Trevor as t...

Films often get lost in the shuffle of the summer blockbusters and even despite the lack of those this film still got lost. Chuck is a full that deserves viewings. For those fans of Truman Show or Forest Gump this film also follows the life span of a man but told backwards. Like other Kings works such as Stand By me and Shawshank this is a more grounded tale with a slight fantasy element. Join Cia...
