'Baby Driver' Review
Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver is the story of Baby (Ansel Elgort) - a talented getaway driver who relies on the beats of his personal playlist to drive away from cops and drown out the noise of his tinnitus. After meeting the girl of his dreams tho... Read the full blog post »

WHAT I LIKED: Back in 2012 I defended 'The Bourne Legacy' as an entry that lived up to the greatness of its franchise predecessors, and again, in 2016, I find myself doing exactly the same thing for the brilliant 'Jason Bourne.' Yes if anything, w... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: By this point the whole world knew how brilliant Edgar Wright was, but I think it's fairly safe to say we didn't know quite how brilliant he could be, as 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' really was a new height for this awesome filmma... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This is undoubtedly yet another movie that you can sit and drool at without engaging your brain, which can certainly be appealing if a) you're 5 years old, or b) you're after a dumb action movie to eat popcorn and think about other t... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A sequel to the thoroughly below-average 'Transformers,' this second installment does nothing to improve over its predecessor, and is actually even worse as a result. Don't worry though, it is undoubtedly another movie that you can s... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like many Scorsese movies of this era, 'Infernal Affairs,' remake 'The Departed,' is delivered almost like one giant montage with plenty of quick cuts, short scenes and jukebox songs. Also like most Scorsese movies, the central chara... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Let's just get one thing straight; 'Drive' is as much an out-and-out action movie as 'Fast and Furious' is a romantic comedy, and that is without doubt a compliment. Yes absent is the over-abundance of fast-paced jump-cuts and exciti... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's just something about 'The Expendables' that keeps your eyes on the screen and your bum in the seat, and I think the glue largely sits with its overall boldness of delivery. Yes Stallone effectively directs in a way that sl... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no two ways about it; David Fincher's 'Fight Club' is absolute genius, and if nothing else it's just brilliant to see a big movie this clever and ambitious make it to the silver screen. After all, its intelligence is undoubte... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The joyous simplicity and heart that bleeds from "My Life as a Zucchini's" mere 66 minutes really is astounding, and I for one am confident in putting it right up there with the best of the year so far as a result. Yes this is, witho... Read the full review »

Forget the usual pressures a summer blockbuster has to contend with; 'Wonder Woman' not only has to deliver as the first proper female-lead Superhero film; it also has to redeem an entire franchise that's arguably falling apart. Enter director Pat... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Everyone talks about how stylish the John Wicks movies are; beautiful lightning, sadistic, dance-like choreography and great music. That certainly creates a degree of cinematic, in-the-moment atmosphere to be hooked by, but the thing... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I'm very proud of the fact we Brits know how to make a good "Power to the People" film, and nowhere is that more evident than where 'Made in Dagenham' is concerned. Yes the way it sticks its fingers up to the establishment is done wi... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: It's very easy when reviewing a classic such as this to simply gush about its contribution to cinema, but even when you view 'North by Northwest' as a film in its own right, it's still one of the greatest around. Why? Well it does so... Read the full review »
