WHAT I LIKED: The Harry Potter series has many examples of people going to extreme lengths out of fear, but David Yates' 'Order of the Phoenix,' is the film when that all comes to a head as the Ministry of Magic and the wicked Dolores Umbridge do... Read the full review »
WHAT I LIKED: 'Reservoir Dogs' is of course an intelligent and stripped-down thriller that aims to be gritty and exciting, but first and foremost - as is the case with virtually all of his subsequent pictures - it is a Quentin Tarantino movie. Yes... Read the full review »
This week I will be reviewing what I believe to be the most underrated Disney animated film of all time. We all know their classic films about princesses and talking animals. Unfortunately, it is when they branch out and break the mold that they a... Read the full review »

Ran is Akira Kurosawa's last epic. The man was a genius when it came to directing these long Japanese war epics and Ran is no different. This is Kurosawa's interpretation of Shakespeare's King Lear, a play that unfortunately I did not study. The p... Read the full review »
Revenge of the Sith is definitely my favourite prequel, but then that doesn't really do it justice because that's a bit like chosing a favourite type of wart...

The Descent is the very definition of claustrophobic horror. Trust me when I say this, it will make you think twice about setting foot into a cave. We follow a group of British women who decide to explore a famous cave system in America. Problem i... Read the full review »
better than I expected from McGregor. Pretty predictable fight though. Everyone knew McGregors weak point was his stamina and Mayweather knew that and played off of it as many predicted he would. Read the full review »
Detroit is yet another hard hitting factual based drama from Kathryn Bigelow. I'm starting to fall in love with her. Zero Dark Thirty is one of the best films of this century and does not get enough credit. Detroit, although not in that league, is... Read the full review »
A Nightmare On Elm Street is one of the most influential horror films from the 80s. It's fame and popularity managed to spawn an entire franchise, ludicrous amounts of pop culture references and I'm sure a massive sale in gloves with knives as fi... Read the full review »
This film serves as a delightful and charming live-action adaptation from the Disney classic. This film undoubtedly has its flaws, however when not taken too seriously manages to be quite entertaining, with great musical moments, and all round dec... Read the full review »
As an adaptation from the manga and anime, Death Note fails greatly to inspire the same charm and intrigue from its source material. It does not properly follow the source material, and definitely dumbs down the excellent intricacy and intelligenc... Read the full review »
Unbreakable proves you do not need flashy effects to produce a compelling superhero story. Shyamalan has had a rough career, with most (including myself) believing he has progressively got worse as a director. He has somewhat got back on track wit... Read the full review »
The Evil Dead is possibly the craziest horror film I've seen. If someone asked me "Luke, describe in 400 words what happens in The Evil Dead"...I would probably struggle. Basic plot is basic. Group of teenagers go to remote cabin in woods, discove... Read the full review »
Moneyball isn't focussed on just playing Baseball but instead the inner workings of building the greatest team. Hundreds of sports films, hundreds of them. Pretty sure Hollywood has tackled every type of sport, including Baseball several times ove... Read the full review »
The action sequences were expert choreographed and shot bringing the classic feel of Hong-Kong action films like Police Story or Enter the Dragon. Philip Ng was startling in his portrayal of Bruce Lee. The way he captured his mannerisms and person... Read the full review »
