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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

WHAT I LIKED: Star Wars has always been an epic tale of good vs evil, but following on from the seeds planted in 'The Force Awakens,' Rian Johnson's subversive 'The Last Jedi,' is a tale mostly about rejecting absolutes.
For one, that's because m... Read the full review »

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Non-Spoiler Review
Nine films and over forty years since the world was graced with George Lucas' first Star Wars film, Rian Johnson's 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi,' aims to blur the saga's clearly cut lines to make for one very different kind of film. But does it succeed? Read the full blog post »

WHAT I LIKED: We've all seen great character-studies before, but what makes 'Moonlight,' such an unforgettable masterpiece is its gentle delivery and atmosphere that transports you into the story in a way few films ever manage. Indeed as opposed t... Read the full review »

Manhunter (1986) added to Michael Mann - Ranked list.

WHAT I LIKED: 'Manhunter,' is certainly a film that deserves all the recognition it gets as an edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller which put director Michael Mann on the map. Building on his promising work with 'Thief,' Mann takes the chance to co... Read the full review »
