WHAT I LIKED: Michael Mann is a filmmaker fascinated by people. We know this because his supposed high-octane crime-thriller 'Heat,' and and his supposed high-octane courtroom thriller 'The Insider,' were both really just melancholic character-stu... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The fact that 'Hercules,' fits so well into the Disney mold shows just how archetypal these films generally are. It seems surprising Disney hadn't hadn't already tackled Greek mythology by this point, and the fact when they finally d... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: David Fincher's 'Zodiac,' isn't really a serial killer movie at all (in fact, there's no serial killer in it) - it's more of a journalistic thriller come character study. It focuses on the people trying to catch the real-life "Zodiac... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like so many great sports films, Robert Rossen's 'The Hustler,' isn't about the game; it merely uses the game as a vehicle to explore one obsessive player. Here we follow pool hustler Eddie (Paul Newman), and in the first half of the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The likes of Mean Streets and The Godfather made it fashionable for gangster movies to delve into, empathise with and drool over the mobster characters themselves, but Brian de Palma's 'The Untouchables,' perfectly recognises their e... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's a common conception that movie making is like mixing a bunch of ingredients together and hoping they'll stick, but that the more those ingredients contrast, the harder it is to get right. Surely if you're blending different g... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The first 'American Pie,' dodged the overtly crass by having its characters realise that sex isn't really the important thing in the end, so dragging a successful sequel out of that was never going to be easy as you still need some s... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A film about a group of teenage boys forming a pact to lose their virginity in the summer before college could have very easily become a disgusting, misogynist mess, but 'American Pie,' just dodges that bullet by continually ridiculi... Read the full review »
