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 »

Baywatch (2017)

3 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Every now and then, a character will say something in a film that just so happens to capture exactly what the audience are thinking. Right at the start of 'Baywatch,' Zac Efron quite sincerely asks "are you serious right now?" These... Read the full review »

Public Enemies (2009)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Public Enemies,' has a script primarily concerned with the bare bones of its plot, but what makes it engaging to watch is that it's all delivered by Michael Mann - a director who has shown time and time again that he cares most of a... Read the full review »

Sound of Metal (2020)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Darius Marder's 'Sound of Metal,' is a beautiful character-study about a metal drummer called Ruben (Riz Ahmed) who uses his life on the road, his music, and his care for unstable girlfriend and bandmate Lou (Olivia Cooke) to ignore... Read the full review »

Casino (1995)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Mafia movies like Scorsese's Vegas-based 'Casino,' follow characters hooked by the lure and hope of a clearly poisonous world. At their best ('Goodfellas,' 'Donnie Brasco,') they delve into the conflict of conscience that occurs with... Read the full review »

Turks & Caicos (2014)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'Page Eight,' was a Le Carré-esque espionage movie about trusting the personal over the political, and this sequel 'Turks & Caicos,' is a film mostly about the victims left behind by the game that we all know so well. We find Worric... Read the full review »
