Octopussy (1983)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: By this point in the series, Roger Moore had slowly gone from a cold and breezy 007 to the gentleman's Bond who you can't help loving and rooting for, but in Octopussy we see his feathers ruffled far more than usual. Indeed despite b... Read the full review »

For Your Eyes Only (1981)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: It's common in the Bond canon that after getting extremely big and expensive, the series takes a left-turn to ground itself in something a little smaller, and such a case can be seen in 'For Your Eyes Only.' Indeed rather than sendin... Read the full review »

Angel Has Fallen (2019)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: The so-called 'Fallen Trilogy,' as it's become known has been rather hit and miss. The first film was big dumb fun, whilst the second film lacked the gritty direction and Gerard Butler-isms to make up for the sloppy, nationalist stor... Read the full review »

Moonraker (1979)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Moonraker is widely accepted as one of Bond's silliest outings (perhaps bar the ridiculous Die Another Day) but it's also arguably the film in which Moore's Bond really found his groove as the light-hearted, comedic 007. Indeed whils... Read the full review »

The Crow (1994)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'The Crow,' is a prime example of style-over-substance filmmaking, but frankly there's nothing wrong with that, particularly when the style amounts to as much as it does here. The atmosphere of this gothic, dystopian city is truly ta... Read the full review »

American Psycho (2000)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Many have said it's about male territorialism and vanity, but when you consider that all genders are ultimately broadcast in the same light here, 'American Psycho,' is really a film about people desperately searching for some sort of... Read the full review »

The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: The Personal History of David Copperfield is a delightfully snappy whistle-stop tour through Dicken's source novel that will leave you both beaming and slightly wide-eyed. Rather than condensing the story down for the big screen to m... Read the full review »

Extraction (2020)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: In the midst of a global pandemic, we could all do with a bit of mindless fun, so a Chris Hemsworth action movie about a burly mercenary rescuing a drug lord's kid in Dhaka sounds like the perfect medicine. Ultimately though, no matt... Read the full review »

After Hours (1986)

10 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Martin Scorsese has a love-affair with exploring the city - New York in particular of course - and whilst his most famous exploration of the affects of urban life are to be seen in 'Taxi Driver,' I would argue they're most brilliantl... Read the full review »
