Moving away from his video nasty traditions, Abel Ferrara creates a gritty, brutal crime thriller with an intriguing anti-hero. With an old school hip-hop soundtrack and unique performances, Ferrara delivers a satisfyingly thrilling criminal drama... Read the full review »

Scanners (1981) added to Films watched in 2020 list.
BarneyNuttall rated and reviewed a movie.

While Scanners is one of Cronenberg's less ambitious stories, it is ceaselessly entertaining and evocative with Cronenberg's signature body horror taking centre stage. A Bladerunner story, Scanners walked so The Terminator could run.
While there... Read the full review »

47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019) added to 2019 Movies Ranked list.

47 Meters Down Uncaged removes its metal gratings for an equally suffocating submergence. So, for some reason, a sequel was commissioned for 47 Meters Down. A shark thriller that played out its entire second half as a hallucinatory waste of time.... Read the full review »

After the underwhelming sequel, Ocean's Thirteen realises what makes these films so much fun is the heist itself. Back In Vegas with a heist which perfectly teeters on a parody of the genre itself, Soderbergh employs bombastic camerawork and an im... Read the full review »

The Colossus of New York gigantically zaps from pseudo-scientific inquisition to self-annihilatory rampage. Question: if possible, would it be morally right to preserve the mind of a genius so that its intellectual brilliance can continue to serve... Read the full review »

TV shows being adapted into feature length movies is nothing new. Sometimes you get a nice surprise like 21 and 22 Jump Street. Other times you get something that looked good on paper but ended up failing miserably like The Last Airbender. Fantasy... Read the full review »

Chico and Rita has a vibrant animation which vibrates like the strings on a double bass. The films bebop jazz score keeps the pace up and the story is compelling. Sadly, I didn't buy the central relationship. All the film needed was one short mont... Read the full review »

Making a documentary on North Korea is a difficult task due to the intense shield of secrecy surrounding the country. When I started this I hoped that perhaps Alvaro Longoria had somehow managed to sneak spy-tech into Korea, leading to a groundbre... Read the full review »

Imagine a David Lynch cake. Blue Velvet is a small slice, a sliver. Lost Highway is a quarter, a good chunky piece. Inland Empire is the entire cake, icing and all. While Lynch's other works feel like your entering his brain, Inland Empire is more... Read the full review »

Effortlessly slick, Reservoir Dogs is not only Tarantino's debut feature but his beginning of filmography of confidence and mass violence. Shot in one location, Tarantino manages to keep the tension high, and the dialogue slick. At one moment your... Read the full review »
