WHAT I LIKED: Brosnan is his best in his final outing as Bond; bringing the neccesary levels of heart and engagement to this crazy revenge plot. The supporting cast who surround him (particularly Halle Berry) also shine, and as a result you're gen... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I suppose the appeal of ‘Everybody Wants Some,’ is how real it feels, as all of the performances and a fairly good script successfully build a whole roster of characters that are as grounded as they are amusing.

WHAT I LIKED: This is real back to basics cinema brought into the modern age; an in-depth and slowly-built study of two well-developed character groups in plots wonderfully at odds with each other. Yes instead of mindless action and black and whit... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Now I really enjoyed the first X-Men, and I didn't for a moment expect that they'd top it with X2... but boy did they; with Bryan Singer bringing everything a sequel should have and setting a bit of a comic-book gold standard along t... Read the full review »

What are some of your favorite movie soundtracks?
@TheFilmRascalShow I think there's been some good stuff in there; I'd recommend listening to Nocturnal Animals or Hell or High Water - they're both incredible. Some other favourites for me were High Rise, Magnificent 7 and X-Men Apocalypse!

WHAT I LIKED: Very unlike his debut piece, Steve McQueen's 'Shame,' is a thoroughly meticulous character-study that shines the light on one troubled individual and unpicks his character for the entirety of the film. Yes what we see here is McQueen... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'High Rise' is a film driven entirely by its themes, and it certainly succeeds on that front. Yes in fact this is easily one of the most interesting social commentaries I've seen in a long time, and I suppose that's mainly down to th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A crime-thriller with real depth; Ben Affleck's 'The Town' isn't just great edge-of-your-seat cops and robbers stuff, but its brilliant narrative genuinely allows you to understand both sides too. Indeed that's a rather rare thing in... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Dr No' may have started it all, but 'Goldfinger' is where Bond really establishes itself as the explosive and glamorous affair that we're used to today. Yes gone here are the subtleties of its predecessors, as in that place Guy Hami... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This is yet another Liam Neeson-fronted thriller so we should have some idea of what we're getting by now, but the core asset of 'Non-Stop,' is undoubtedly the mystery and the way it builds tension so surprisingly well. Yes you genui... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Where 'Thunderball' succeeds most is actually in its build-up, where director Terrence Young brings back a level of slow-burn mystery and charm that we got less of in Hamilton's more famous 'Goldfinger.' Here the lead characters - an... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This amazing film takes the fight on a timely issue, and it wins because of its developed characterisation and its tragically poetic story. Yes 'Philadelphia,' genuinely brings a tear yo the eye and engages brilliantly with its touch... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like 'Tomorrow never dies,' this film is packed with fun, whilst Brosnan's severe persona balances out any Moore-like cheesiness. In this instance these contrasts feel even less at odds thanks to an all-round improvement on Brosnan's... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: At its centre, 'Doctor Strange,' is really just another simple superhero origin story, but this brilliant film proves that even though we've seen similar stories told before doesn't mean that they can't feel fresh and thoroughly enga... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Thor' is majestic, fantastical yet extremely heart-filled. Sound good? Well it really is, and I think that's mostly down to Kenneth Brannagh's Shakespearean characterisation bringing this great world and these awesome characters to... Read the full review »
