'Darkest Hour' Review

There have been over seventy renditions of Winston Churchill over the years, so with Gary Oldman now picking up the cigar in Joe Wright's 'Darkest Hour,' the question is very much what new approach he and the film can bring to the table with a mor... Read the full blog post »

T2 Trainspotting (2017)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Darker, mellowed and less satirically misty-eyed than the original, 'T2: Trainspotting,' takes more time and delves deeper and more seriously into its characters and makes for a different kind of film than the first. Yes rather than... Read the full review »

I Give It a Year (2013)

5 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: It's hardly surprising given that Borat's Dan Mazer is at the helm and that Steve Merchant is in a key role that some of the humour in 'I give it a year,' is rather amusing with plenty of vulgar and crass laughs to counteract the sop... Read the full review »

Free Fire (2017)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Ben Wheatley set out to make a film that brings a tangibility to action, and he definitely succeeds there as 'Free Fire,' is a film where every hit - and crucially, every miss - has real impact. Yes rather than pack this shoot-out wi... Read the full review »

No Country for Old Men (2007)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, 'No Country for Old Men,' does a truly superb job of planting the seeds of tension and theme within its dry and barren soil, as the film establishes everything it needs to in many properly ingenious and engaging ways... Read the full review »

The Florida Project (2017)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: 'The Florida Project,' is a real lesson in how to build a brilliant social commentary, as it does so through the membrane of a simple and properly engaging character story. Indeed, in placing its social issues at the heart of somethi... Read the full review »

The Red Turtle (2017)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Beyond all else, 'The Red Turtle,' is a beautiful display of the sheer power of a moving picture, as this is a film that harks back to the silent age of cinema and goes to show how simple imagery can evoke the strongest of emotional... Read the full review »

22 Jump Street (2014)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: The first '21 Jump Street,' was a hilarious spoof of the very thing that it was - a buddy-cop movie - and so it's hardly surprising that the cunningly named '22 Jump Street,' is a spoof of sequels. Yes re-capturing the magic of the b... Read the full review »
