The Nightingale (2018)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Jennifer Kent's historical thriller 'The Nightingale,' starts out as a cold-blooded revenge movie, but brilliantly morphs into a heart-warming character study about two people recognising and acting on their shared suffering *through... Read the full review »

Army of the Dead (2021)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Stylistically, Zack Snyder is a director who leers over everything and turns even the smallest things into moments of ultimate pornographic coolness whilst relying on heavy, overt symbolism to do his storytelling. I've criticised him... Read the full review »

Night at the Museum (2006)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Night at the Museum,' is a great, high-concept adventure movie about everything in a museum hilariously coming to life at night. There's exotic animals, cavemen, Romans, Cowboys, ex-presidents and Egyptians all in one building with... Read the full review »

A Most Violent Year (2014)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: J.C. Chandor's 'A Most Violent Year,' is about an up and coming New York oil tycoon obsessed with getting his company off the ground despite financial, legal and even violent challenges from his opponents and the authorities. That ma... Read the full review »

Gangs of New York (2002)

6 / 10

Bringing Out the Dead (1999)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: From 'Taxi Driver,' to 'After Hours,' Scorsese has made a number of films throughout his career that paint the city as a lifeless, heartless place. But the line between its living and dead has never been blurred quite so much as in h... Read the full review »

Paradise Now (2005)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Hany Abu-Assad's 'Paradise Now,' lends a masterfully humanist perspective and insight into the Palestinian struggle, and for that reason it couldn't be a more important film for everyone to watch right now. It follows two young Pale... Read the full review »

Kundun (1997)

4 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Most of Melissa Mathison's exposition-laden script for 'Kundun,' simply serves to go through the motions of its story about the discovery and early life of the 14th - and current - Dalai Lama in early twentieth-century Tibet, and the... Read the full review »
