WHAT I LIKED: Overall, 'Jack Reacher: Never go Back' is an enjoyable and satisfying sequel as it aims to deliver on the highs, and develop the lows of its fun predecessor. That's largely a success too, as some great new female characters (who set... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Few films out there make me feel quite as good and down-right happy as '21 Jump Street' does, and for that it truly earns a spot right up there with my favourite comedies of all time. Seriously, the humour here is absolutely golden -... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: In some moments, 'Prisoners' is one of the grittiest, most frightening psychological thrillers I've ever seen, as it hooks you and places you in one of the most desperate and difficult scenarios imaginable. What hooks you though is a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Guy Ritchie's first Sherlock Holmes was a bit of a surprise, and strangely enough, his second attempt is too. Now what it does so successfully is to update the great aspects of its predecessor's style in a slicker manor to deliver an... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Handing the keys for the world's greatest detective to Guy Ritchie seemed rather like the kind of thing you'd do after a few too many beers down your local Yorkshire pub, but the final result is an unquestionably fresh and surprising... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no doubt that Titanic is a properly classic Hollywood blockbuster - another film made by James Cameron because it's what he wanted, and what he wanted alone. Was his vision a good one here? Well its boldness is enough to trul... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' is one of the most delightful and humbling movie experiences out there, as its overall aims, and the charm with which it's all dealt, strips your own feelings of joy right back to their cores. Yes in build... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Seemingly obsessed with making films that mostly serve as commentaries on the human condition and its societies, Stanley Kubrick is generally a very theatrical, comedic and thematic filmmaker, so you may think he's a far cry from the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: It's not often that a film makes you smile as much as 'Man from UNCLE' does, but seeing Guy Ritchie's newly refined style in this world will have your face permanently morphed from start to finish. Yes frankly I can't think of a bett... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: In balancing the source traditions with some genuine new-found greatness, I personally think this film is pretty close to the very best version of a slightly Hollywood 'Ghost in the Shell' that we could ever get. Yes for a start, it... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Writing a review for 'Sightseers' isn't a particularly easy thing to do, because all there really is to say is that it's completely and utterly bonkers and genuinely hilarious. Now I could of course try and quantify its hilarity with... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Many regard this as a real blip on the franchise's radar, but frankly for me 'The Bourne Legacy' is not only as gripping and exciting as its three excellent predecessors; it's actually up there with the best. Yes the more personal an... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The best way to describe the feeling you get when watching 'Ghost in the Shell' is frankly a deep-routed unease, but also a definite sense of wonder - and those two things are a very rare and very effective combination. First off, th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: ET is one of Spielberg's ultimate gems - a timeless story about a lost alien stumbling upon a group of kids who form a friendship with him and help him get home. It's a brilliant concept, but mostly it's charming because it has such... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Horrors come in many shapes and sizes, but the best movies put the viewer in the characters' shoes and allow them to understand and relate to the horrors that are on display. John Carpenter's 'The Thing' succeeds there in a number of... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Cheaper by the Dozen' is a pretty fun movie that will occasionally produce some giggles, but will always produce a smile. Yes the appeal of this so-called comedy can more so be found in the endearing characterisation and simple mess... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After a more serious approach from Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell largely gave us a far smaller, more charming coming-of-age adventure with 'The Goblet of Fire' where the mystery and stakes just bubble under the surface until the final... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Much like Tarantino's debut feature 'Reservoir Dogs,' 'Pulp Fiction' is appealing because of its unmistakeably flippant style, but what elevates this even further here is the film's snappy narrative structure, the strength of its the... Read the full review »
