WHAT I LIKED: There are certainly things to marvel at in 'Thunderball,' as the underwater sequences are very impressively filmed (especially for their time), and Ted Moore's high-contrast cinematography is more appealing on the whole to my eyes th... Read the full review »

Paddington adds charming zest to its deliciously sweet marmalade. What defines a home? Is it the delightful warmth exuding from the lavished shelter we call our abode? Or is it the accumulated heirlooms and contents that decorate the spacious room... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: If opening sequences set the tone of a Bond movie, the fact that 'Goldfinger,' opens with a pigeon on Bond's head and him blowing something up surely says it all. This is the movie that established the sillyness and extravagance of t... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: From the opening moments of this second entry in the Bond series, it's clear we're getting a rather different film from 'Dr No,' as Bond sneaks around wearing a rather more furrowed expression, and the whole sequence is then revealed... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Dr No,' may be the film that introduced the world of Ian Fleming's James Bond to the big screen, but in itself it's actually a rather breezy and slow-paced affair compared to most of its successors. It just has us watch Bond slowly... Read the full review »

We Need To Talk About Kevin nihilistically captures mental deterioration through a youthful massacre. Motherhood. The femininity of parental guidance many believe vital during a child’s upbringing. The sacred unbreakable bond between mother and... Read the full review »

With exhilarating action sequences and a revitalized contemporary Bond, Casino Royale is a gust of fresh air which attempts to shed the old Bond while staying loyal to it. Yet, not all the cobwebs get swept away with the film's women failing to be... Read the full review »

Cloud Atlas transcends linearity to present an ambitious alignment of souls. A raindrop. Manifesting its elliptical shape at the edge of its existence. Building up water, the stream of life to which fauna and flora live by. Its heavy weight causin... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: When you break it down, Dirty Dancing is basically a film about whether you can escape the trappings of your circumstances, but one where that expression is forced through the membrane of a wole lot more sexy dancing, big hair and bo... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Jane Austin's Emma is the story of a young, shallow, upper-class woman who manipulates and controls those around her learning the importance of true friendship and acts of kindness. What Eleanor Catton and Autumn de Wilde's version d... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The first Taken was a well-executed thriller with a brilliantly simple but highly emotive emotive central concept. Taken 2 on the other hand is almost exclusively held up by Liam Neeson who delivers a highly commited and engaging per... Read the full review »
