Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight  turned 10 years old this July and has earned itself its status as a 'Modern Masterpiece'. With a decade-defining performance from Heath Ledger as The Joker which bagged him an Oscar and whole other bunch of factors that I admire. It's effect can be felt in more recent superhero films like Logan  and Black Panther  and has transcended from more than mere popcorn escapism . Be sure to check it out my video to find out why it's become such a legendary piece of cinema.





If you half-remember having heard of Luke Hearfield before, about ten months ago, this is why:






FYI, watch this young gay Brit's review of Call Me By Your Name --he saw it one of the screenings at the London Film Festival--he's funny AND he loved the movie, VERY articulate (as many Brits are).

Luca Guadagnino's sun-drenched love story is a spell-binding piece of art. It's gonna be an awards-contender but it's also a genuinely touching film that will resonate with anyone whose ever been in love. Go and see it! Check out my full thoughts here.

Heath was amazing as the Joker!   There were things he did in that movie that made me cringe.
