A Perfect Day is a blend of eyebrow creasing tension and oil-black comedy. As Hitchock famously said 'There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.' This film is a fantastic homage to that as there is never really a bang. You wai... Read the full review »

This cerebral road trip movie strips away the glitz and glam of Vegas for a muddier gambling scene, from Iowa to Orleans. Both Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn are subtle in their performances, choosing the right moments to turn up the act-o-meter... Read the full review »

While Moneyball could be easily perceived as a typical biopic film, Aaron Sorkin's screenplay elevates it to an insightful character study about a reserved, yet confident, master. Brad Pitt is excellent, avoiding to play his typical suave characte... Read the full review »

Kops (2003) added to Films watched in 2020 list.

Kopps is undoubtedly hilarious. It's clear that Hot Fuzz took inspiration from this small town cop movie. The parodic scenes of action are such a treat that the film is worth watching just for those. Aside from that, the film has a real sweetness... Read the full review »

For those who have never seen Vertigo before, it's important to take the plot with a pinch of salt. There are moments in the film where you'll find yourself disappointingly exasperated at what has happened, particularly at the film's big reveal. W... Read the full review »

With some fantastic performances, notably from a young, first-seen Edward Norton, Primal Fear is thrilling and surprisingly violent. While it isn't as fearsome as the title suggests, it's twisted ending certainly is. Perhaps a unique visual flair... Read the full review »

If Roma didn't sell you, Children of Men certainly will. Much like Russell T. Davies dark television series Years and Years, Children of Men is a bleak look at a dystopian Britain. A Britain where the issues we face today have climaxed in holocaus... Read the full review »

Many people accuse historical dramas of being 'boring.' In the past, they were one of the mightiest of genres, beginning with D.W. Griffiths controversial first films. Now, if to survive, a subversion is needed. Something that makes something old... Read the full review »

It's Grease! Sure, it isn't perfect from a writing standpoint but its nostalgia, it's dancing, its performances and, of course, the chart-topping soundtrack soar Grease into the hall of fame. Everyone knows at least one Grease song, probably Greas... Read the full review »

Infernal Affairs is a riveting crime drama that has a sumptuous amount of twists and turns to keep you hooked throughout. With fast-paced editing, flashy camerawork, and some truly shocking moments, Infernal Affairs is Hot Fuzz minus the comedy.... Read the full review »
