Why a companion piece when they’re essentially connected and the new one branded to be a sequel? Because they are their own, standalone films too so as such, they deserve to be evaluated this way. It’s what Taylor Sheridan intended and had it have been called just Soldado, it would have been easier. Yes, they…… Continue reading Companion Pieces: Sicario & Sicario: Day of the Soldado
The title are lyrics from ‘Here Come the Young Men’ by Courteeners. A brilliant line and fitting. This week I turned 28, one step closer to hitting 30. It’s not a significant age, I know, but I’ve spent some time mulling over where I am and where I want to be and it feels like…… Continue reading “Are we getting older? Are we getting wiser?

It’s no secret for those who know me, that one of my true loves in life is my football team; Leicester City. Outside of my family, it’s my longest love. A hobby, a passion and a…… Continue reading For the love of the Foxes
I’ve had an idea to look at two films that compliment each other, or make good back to back watches and having just re-watched Sicario for the umpteenth time (it’s easily my most watched of the last 5 years), and Hell or High Water (shamefully my first viewing) that these films, both penned by Taylor…… Continue reading Companion pieces – Sicario and Hell or High Water
