I had high hopes for THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR. Unfortunately, it proved to be yet another addition to the endless list of wasted opportunities at what could've been a good horror movie.
About half way through the movie, I found myself pressing... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: People praise today's Marvel Studios for choosing interesting directors and giving them the space to make the films that they want to make, but back in 2011, they did just that with Kenneth Branagh and 'Thor.'
Yes, if you read the s... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Iron Man 3' is the sequel that Iron Man 2 should have been, as it takes a similarly interesting character premise (this time Tony's PTSD after the events of The Avengers) and crucially takes it seriously.
Yes rather than turning the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Few films out there bring quite the sense of celebratory joy and excitement that The Avengers does, as it not only marks the first time that these characters that we'd grown to care for come together, but the way it's executed makes... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, ‘Man of Steel’ is a surprisingly delicate character study that spends an awful lot of time grounding the most realistic, human and relatable version of Superman we’ve ever seen on the big screen. This is largel... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The final chapter of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is widely accepted as a miss-step by most, but quite frankly I'm of the opinion that it's the best of the three as it combines the touching character stuff of 'Begins,' and the ideas-h... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Despite its crazy concepts and mad, spoofy originality, 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' is a film so comfortable in its own shoes that you'd be forgiven for mistaking Sofia Boutella's metal legs for slippers, but then I suppose that's... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: ‘Spy,’ – bizarrely the first film ever to go by that name - manages to bundle its brilliant cast and arguably messy story into one of the best-written and most entertaining comedies of the year. Yes, not only does this film get... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Pegged by many as the epitome of the thriller genre; 'Se7en' is a film that earns its status by gripping you tighter and leaving you more desperate to watch each and every situation unfold than virtually any other thriller. This is o... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's definitely most appealing about Marvel's 'Ant-Man,' is the high-concept creativity of its main growing and shrinking idea, as that unlocks the opportunity for some brilliantly charming set-pieces and some extremely effective c... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The Russo Brothers' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' is a slightly different kind of Marvel movie to what we'd seen before it, as it aims for some higher territory by heavily drawing on political thrillers of the recent past - a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no getting away from the fact that 'Captain America: The First Avenger' is a pretty goofy superhero film with its stretched origin story about a little everyman becoming the muscly American Nazi-fighter in tight blue spandex,... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'The Matrix' is mostly a success because of its beautifully innovative thematic story, but it also works because all of that is delivered with an edge and creativity to engage a whole range of audiences. Yes with the Wachowskis' wond... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Brian De Palma's 'Mission: Impossible,' is a film that sees a Hollywood franchise formula born, and its approach is one that has largely been followed closely throughout the subsequent series simply because it all generally works ver... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The second Mission: Impossible movie sees John Woo take the wheel from Brian De Palma, and on the one hand that means we get a very different visual style and some cheesy attempts at character development. Really though, it's still a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Brad Bird's 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol,' is regarded by many as the film where this franchise entered its prime, and whilst I think JJ Abrams' third installment is still a far superior picture, it's hard to disagree that M... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like all James Gunn films, 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' may be pretty irreverent on the surface, but its heart comes from being about a bunch of small, forgotten, downtrodden misfits coming together to do something honourable and save... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The reason the first 'Star Wars,' was so successful, and the reason it remains such a compelling film to this day, is that it's such a fabulous melting pot of classic cinematic ideas.

WHAT I LIKED: This series just seems to get more thoughtful and thematic as it progresses, and in a way, ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2’ is the perfect accumulation of all of that as it’s much slower and gives real time to exploring... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Zack Snyder's 'Batman v Superman,' is basically a film of two halves, and the first is unquestionably an interesting and often successful thematic exploration of man's reaction to a God on earth.
In the aftermath of 'Man of Steel,'... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: '10 Things I Hate About You' is actually a lot of fun because it doesn't take itself too seriously and it almost goes so far down the comedy route that it feels more like a satire of itself. Yes whilst some of the characters and stor... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Without a shadow of a doubt the thing that this film does best is to establish a brand new set of brilliantly quirky characters in a way that makes it feel like you know and understand them already, and that's really no mean feat des... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: You may be expecting a run-ofHthe-mill action movie, and what you get with 'Jack Reacher,' is certainly an element of that, but mostly it's a reasonably sophisticated crime-film. Mostly it's about intricate, twisty plotting and slow,... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like many of his subsequent projects, the entirety of Danny Boyle's 'Shallow Grave' drives for the darkest possible humour in satirically exploring the consequences of reckless actions, and what's always surprising is that the humour... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Richard Curtis catches a lot of flak for being a director who makes films shot like commercials almost exclusively about middle-class white folks. That's hardly untrue, and it certainly doesn't make his work edgy or cool, but it equa... Read the full review »
