WHAT I LIKED: 2004's 'Dawn of the Dead' really is a lesson in how a re-make can be done successfully, as director Zack Snyder manages to create a film that uses elements from the original, but that most of all stands brilliantly on its own two fee... Read the full review »

It’s more world-ending stuff from the MCU as the latest entry follows Thor battling to save Asgard from the end of all things. How can Marvel stop all this collapsing under its own weight? New Zealand's Taika Waititi could well be the answer.

WHAT I LIKED: A cinema experience like this really is a rare thing, for 'Blade Runner 2049' is a film that slowly and brilliantly hooks and affects you and truly transports you to another world in a state of awe, intrigue and pure, undying attenti... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: No matter your pre-conceptions, there's simply no denying that 'The LEGO Batman Movie' is one properly intelligent and properly funny film that does satire and subject commentary as well as the best. Now agreeably, one has to have so... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' marks writer Shane Black's directorial debut in a neo-noir buddy-cop spoof, and when you think about it even if this idea seemed somewhat risky at the time, this guy really is a natural fit for it as his usual a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' is a film all about building world, and on that front it most definitely succeeds as an all-consuming atmosphere and fantastical timely setting are built perfectly by the score, set-design a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Beyond anything else what makes 'Highlander' the viable cult classic that it is is undoubtedly its self-aware humour, as this is a film that will genuinely have you smirking from start to finish. Yes because it delivers its ridiculou... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Rightfully earning its pedestal position within modern cinema history, 'Blade Runner' truly is one of the most immersive, intelligent and original sci-fi blockbusters ever made, and this is largely thanks to Ridley Scott who brillian... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The first Kinsgman was a joy because of how assured and original it was, but its sequel - 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' - decides to chuck even more into the pan and turn up the heat, and in some places that definitely works. Indeed... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Now I have to preface this by saying I'm entirely unfamiliar with any of this film's source material, but what we clearly got here was less so a horror pic, and more so an adventure movie with a few horror sketches sprinkled througho... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What can be said about 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' that hasn't already been said? Well other than the fact its shameless direction should probably receive a little more credit than its getting, it is indeed true that this film is a ligh... Read the full review »

He started his journey to movie-stardom in 1981 with a supporting role in the terrible 'Endless Love,' but since then he's become one of the most famous big-hitters - and arguably big-missers - working in Hollywood today. Yes, from creepy teenager... Read the full review »

'American Made' Review
The true story of 'American Made,' - the latest film from 'The Bourne Identity' director Doug Liman - looks set to be the better Tom Cruise movie of 2017 as it sends him back to the pilot's seat and us right into the era where he first made it to... Read the full blog post »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Reservoir Dogs' is of course an intelligent and stripped-down thriller that aims to be gritty and exciting, but first and foremost - as is the case with virtually all of his subsequent pictures - it is a Quentin Tarantino movie. Yes... Read the full review »
