WHAT I LIKED: '12 Years A Slave,' sees Steve McQueen turn his attention to the slave trade, and the result is the brilliantly difficult piece of cinema you'd expect with relentlessly graphic portrayals of physical and emotional abuse and torture t... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: As far as I'm concerned, Christopher Nolan's 'The Prestige' really is one of the most ambitious and profound films of the twenty-first century. I mean honestly let's just consider for a moment what this movie does - for a start it's... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'The Dark Knight,' is the most expensive ideas movie ever made, as effectively what writer/director Christopher Nolan does here is to take the themes planted in his brilliant predecessor and build a narrative from them that juxtapose... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Where to start with 'Memento'? Well when Christopher Nolan sat down to write and direct his first big hit, if he was ever in any doubt about where to start, it certainly doesn't show in the final product. Yes this brilliant early fea... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Christopher Nolan's 'Batman Begins,' is often forgotten because of the love that so many have for its infamous successor, but it's actually a very important film that seeds the serious approach, some of the ideas, as well as the char... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Whilst its predecessor was a blockbuster recipe with a very delicate balance of flavours; 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' decides to play things with a slightly heavier hand in bringing action and excitement to the foreground. As a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: How do you bring the beloved Spider-Man into the sprawling Marvel universe? Well rather than scale up his story to the level of Iron Man or Captain America's; 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' instead decides to take a look at what it's like... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Kick-Ass' is honestly one of the smartest comic-book adaptations ever put to the big screen, and largely that's down to the overriding satirical approach that director Matthew Vaughn brings to the fray. Yes in many ways this isn't o... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: It was clear from 'Layer Cake' that director Michael Vaughn had the gift of a certain gab and a real snappiness behind the camera, and perhaps unsurprisingly what an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 'Stardust' manages to do is to give all... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: At the core of 'Safe House' is actually one of the best spy/action storylines I've ever seen as it effectively takes an outsider right into the thick of the action so that the audience are truly scooped up and given a new angle to ta... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Weirdly, 'Live by Night' was bashed critically and hugely underperformed at the box office, but I personally feel it's up there with Affleck's previous directorial efforts, and in fact in many ways it shows areas where Affleck has im... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no doubt that 'Thor: The Dark World' does contain some nuggets of greatness that are enough to keep you there without nodding off, and most of those - perhaps unsurprisingly - come from the times when Thor interacts with Loki... Read the full review »
