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 »

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 »

WHAT I LIKED: I don't care what people say, 'Taken' is the quintessential Liam Neeson thriller, and it will always be a film I greatly enjoy. Yes for one the premise is just brilliant, and whilst many engage with the emotional seeds of the likes o... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Really all that keeps you locked into 'Gangster Squad' is its incredible cast, as virtually all of these huge stars bring their A-games and show that you do often get what you pay for when it comes to star-power. On that note, it is... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Insomnia' is yet another gut-punching thriller from Christopher Nolan, but it also serves to show that it's not just narrative structure that makes this director such a successful master of tension. Yes unlike in 'Following,' or 'Me... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A debut directorial piece is a great place to go to see the seeds of interest and experimentation that lead to later work, and for Christopher Nolan's 'Following' one can definitely identify the roots of elements we got in 'Memento,'... Read the full review »
