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: The Harry Potter series has many examples of people going to extreme lengths out of fear, but David Yates' 'Order of the Phoenix,' is the film when that all comes to a head as the Ministry of Magic and the wicked Dolores Umbridge do... Read the full review »

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 »

Films that everybody hates that you love?
Revenge of the Sith is definitely my favourite prequel, but then that doesn't really do it justice because that's a bit like chosing a favourite type of wart...

WHAT I LIKED: There is certainly some engagement to be unlocked here when it comes to the journey of our lead characters, as the story itself is rather interesting and the performances certainly have their high-points where real chemistry is felt... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There sure is a lot to admire in Ridley Scott's award-winning theatrical debut 'The Duellists,' as it's clearly a film made with a lot of care and confident consideration. Yes in portraying his thematically significant story through... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: In the words of Michael Mann himself, there is certainly some merit here to be found in the production design, the practical effects and the eerie direction of tension during some of the opening scenes.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Unfortuna... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: If Denis Villeneuve tried to direct a comedy, one could imagine it might wind up looking something a little like 'Cop Car,' and that is in every sense a huge compliment to pay. Yes Jon Watts' sparse and thrilling direction really doe... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like his 'John Wick,' David Leitch's 'Atomic Blonde' is an action film all about the cool factor, but the layers here are actually very different indeed. Yes for one this is a far grittier film than you might expect as whilst all the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Bringing the rubbish 'Fifty Shades of Grey' to the big screen was always going to be a horribly unpleasant task, and talking about the solace to be found within Sam Taylor-Johnson's final product is only really fruitful if you talk a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: It would seem that those who like their films rare have a real soft spot for 'Raw,' as it is undoubtedly a very uncommon beast - a thematically ambitious and different horror film that's trying to be more than the genre standard thin... Read the full review »

'Dunkirk' looks set to strip bare Nolan's film-making and truly focus the lens on his intricate brush-strokes for the first time. But is it really the success everyone is making out? Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's most striking about Michael Mann's theatrical debut 'Thief' is what an incredibly confident and assured piece of film it really is. The way his beautiful visuals and incredible use of music build such a suffocating, melancholi... Read the full review »
