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: '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: '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 »
